1 It's not his conservative bona fides I question.  I just am not impressed by his leadership style and I don't think he's shown that he is ready for the national stage. 

2 Ace,I get that it's not your issue,doesn't play in the NE thing.I've been there.I was squishy/pro choice until I let myself understand what it reallly was.Do you want it to stop but just are afraid of the political consequences?

3 2 I as a conservative want it to be left up to the states.As a Catholic I find it evil and repulsive.

4 I think Daniels needs to get a hair piece.

5 What a day!  Watch the LIVE FEED at the ‘Americans for ProsperityÂ’ Presidential Summit in NH!  This is basically the first time all these candidates have been on stage together this year!

6 As a conservative I have no problem with this being decided at the national level - last time we let something like this be solved at the state level we ended up with over 600,000 dead soldiers, not to mention civilian casualties.

7

Well, if he does run, and it remains a decision between the usual suspects (Huck, Mittens, Grinch etc...) I've got to decide between Daniels and T'Paw.

I lean T-Paw right now....but barely.  Hopefully PR saves me the trouble.

The truce is a good idea.

Oh, I've been looking for you the few times I've been on this week.  Heh. You will have to indulge me this summer.  I think they have a chance to win the West and actually do damage in the playoffs.  Would be their 1st division win in their history.

Good seeing you btw.

18

Pretty much the same here as a Protestant.

Daniels was only guilty of using a poor choice in words.  Considering the state the country is in and the terrible performance of Obama as President, does anyone think that social issues like abortion should even be in the top 3 things we focus on in the effort to beat Obama?  Hell, even in the top 10?

Perhaps Daniels shouldn't have used the word "truce", but only because some would (and did) interpret him as meaning we should completely surrender on social issues rather putting them on the back burner in favor of fiscal and economic policy for the time being, which is what I'm pretty sure he meant.

Well  a lot of folks are pissed off at the entire compassionate conservative/ Obamacon thing.

We've punted to the states' rights issue and that is as far as it is going to go, vis a vis abortion. Which is fine with me right now.

21 I was opposed to Daniels for his "truce" talk, but if he talks truce and then plants his foot violently in the left's balls, I am lining up right behind him. Cool.

22

Agreed. Something more along the lines of "I am Pro-Life. But right now, our priority has to be on the economy, energy, foreign affairs, border security and the dollar. You know, all the things a President is supposed to be worried about but this one managed to screw up. However, President Obama has done a wonderful job of alienating our allies, insulting our friends and fundraising for Democrats."

23
I was squishy pro-choice until: (1) My wife and I saw our son on the ultrasound and then we lost him a couple of weeks later.  The crushing. emptying grief we felt was the grief one feels for a lost child, not a wisdom tooth.  (2) We adopted our two children.  Their existence (or not) is not morally neutral.  The two teenage girls who chose to give our children life and then chose to give them up for a better life are the two bravest, most moral human beings to ever touch my life.

24 Obama the....cowboy (???)  says....Chris Matthews (seriously, who else would it have been?)

“If you think about him as a guy out in the sun, with the sun in his face, looking like a cowboy with his sleeves rolled up . . . here he is out in the sun, short sleeves, he’s always been fit, looking like a million bucks, looking like a guy.”

Such a c-word, that guy.

25 Good for Daniels for signing this bill.  "This Is What Democracy Looks Like".  Let PP try to get their way in the undemocratic courts.  I hope they fail.

About him running for Prez - meh, he's not got a whole lot on the charisma scale, if he runs it will be even easier for Team Obama to drudge up all the old Bush bashing (you know they are already planning it - but they will just ramp it up to new heights) - I want a candidate that I can really feel inspired about, Daniels (and, also, T-Paw) just isn't it

26

Agreed. And how is life in South Carolina treating you --- Vic tell you to get off the lawn recently?

Great man.  Love the weather, and the change in lifestyle.  Miss the summer in Downtown Denver going to baseball games though.

Vic told me I could stay on his lawn as long as I bring him a pint of Ancient Age. (Ok, he said Jack Daniels, but Ancient Age is funnier considering we are talking about Vic).

(sorry vic, but it's my understanding you are on vacation and won't see this post)

27 Well something I remember getting into a bit of an argument with when the Wisconsin stuff was happening and Indiana had a similar instance happen that made their Dems fleabag the state as well.  Daniels wasn't happy with what the Repub Reps were doing.  See I guess Daniels had been running the state with a Dem controlled legislature so he was accomplishing conservative goals as much as possible under those situations.  But once he got a Repub Legislature it looked like he still wanted to go along in the same way as before.  That really doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.  Truce on social issues and don't rock boat on everything else.  Yeah that's inspirational.

28 Willow@16:
"you know I was wishy washy on abortion when i believed that abortion limited it to the first weeks of growth ."

The thing is, it's even an abomination at the earliest weeks.  My God!  I saw pictures this week of little baby parts that were found in the parking lot at an abortion mill.  Body parts so small they fit on the fingertips of the people who found them yet they were still clearly identifiable as teeny tiny arms and legs.

To us fiscal cons, many of the socons such as George W Bush were pathetic on the fiscal issues.

A big Texas socon, Marvin Olasky, was the guy who pushed George W into the insane big-spending "compassionate conservative' horseshit.

That's a broad brush, but the fiscal cons need to be in the lead right now, I feel.

Well this sucks to have to do because until the other night having dinner with my daughter I was totally against planned parenthood. But let me tell you a story.

After my daughters first semester in college she came to me and said she didn't want to go anymore. After trying to talk her out of her decision and failing I decided to try some tough love and said ok fine, you are on your own then. I bought a high deductable health insurance policy for her and told her to get a job which she did. In time for the fall semester next year she came to me and asked if she could go back to school. I said of course and she went on to do great and graduated. That isn't all though.

During the time she was working and making little money she went to planned parenthood for birth control pills and other female checkups etc.

The point i guess is that there are poor people out there that planned parenthood does help. I know they do a lot of harm too but they do some good.

64 THE SOCIAL ISSUES WILL KILL US, MAN! WHAT ABOUT THE DRUG WAR??? ONLY ONE MAN CAN SOLVE THIS... I DARE YOU TO SAY HIS NAME THREE TIMES...

65 GW was a socon along the Huckabee line.Not all socons are for big government.Just because GW and Huck are pro life doesn't mean I agree with them on most social issues.

66 the good they do is cover for the bad they do it's a shitty deal

67 *Of all the people running I am pretty convinced he would probably make the best President by a long shot.
*His speech at CPAC was very good.
*Some things he has said and done off the cuff since are less inspiring.
*A good solid able leader with a proven executive track record on conservative issues.
*He is serious, able, experienced, reasonable and ideologically a committed conservative... exactly the kind of leader we need.
*I firmly believe he could get reelected but can a uninteresting older white guy not willing to skewer Obama head on get elected the first time?

Dole, McCain, Bush 1... America will elect many types of people but one that is perceived as dull is a huge handicap.  He needs to start doing some impulsive interesting things.  Start smoking cuban cigars or spread a rumor he has a half child in vietnam.. something.. anything.

68 you mean those awesome mustang IIs?

69 The point i guess is that there are poor people out there that planned parenthood does help. I know they do a lot of harm too but they do some good.

I have no problem with that.

But no federal funding for abortion.  Period, end of discussion.

Posted by: TexasJew at April 29, 2011 08:28 PM (uR5Zf)

Marvin Olasky has said that he meant something quite different from the big-government direction that Bush took it in. His proposals were more along the lines of school vouchers, removing tax penalties for getting married, removing discriminatory policies against relihious charities, and other changes intended more to keep the government from discouraging virtue rather than expanding government per se.

Olasky is a good guy in most respects. He is also an ex-communist, so he tends to be very leery of anything that smacks of Marxism.

74 Could a guy like Daniels be helped by a good VP candidate ? They say it usually doesn't help, but look what Choo Choo did for Obama !

Clint Eastwood, Telly Savales, Don Rickles and Donald Sutherland as "Oddball."

111 After yesterdays post on Trump, I'm watching an old "Riptide" on YouTube.
The 1986 Jane Badler was smoken.

112 Don Rickles best part in a movie was when he got beaten by Joe Pesci in Casino.

113 Donald Sutherland was babbling hippie lingo with longass hair about 20 years too early.

I agree with you about his character (Oddball) -- and the sound track was pretty bad -- but other than that I love that movie.  I could watch it every single day. 

Oddball is not really that important of a character.  Don Rickles' character is probably more prominent/important than Sutherland's. 

114 Alistair MacLean's books kicked ass.

That was jarring and ruined the move for me.

Sutherland was screwing Jane Fonda at the time and was going around with her trying to get troops to desert in Vietnam and shit. He was a stonecold leftist.

I didn't like his snarky shit in the original MASH, either.

I didn't like him until a couple of years later when he did "Don't Look Now". That was pretty intense. And then I got to enjoy his movies.

@6: "As a conservative I have no problem with this being decided at the national level - last time we let something like this be solved at the state level we ended up with over 600,000 dead soldiers, not to mention civilian casualties."

124 Re the abortion stuff.  I think defining personhood is a national-level issue, but I am content to peck away at abortion at the state level for now.

It's true that he's a drive-by Romney spammer, but if Ace banned everyone who didn't offer meaningful contribution to the blog, half of his Morons would be gone, left to wander the woods muttering something about hobos, scandis, and pudding.

Hey, I never said anything about "meaningful" contribution.  It's just that good old Dannyboy brings less than the guy at 130 trying to sell fake purses.  He's nothing but a spammer, just not peddling lace wigs.

147 It's possible to be pro-social-con-truce and pro-life, in the same way one can be a pro-life libertarian. If the minimal reason the State exists is to protect human life and rights, and you can't prove the fetus is not a person, then the State has a precautionary responsibility.

Mallamutt, Did you vote for Keyes in 04 or was he to teh crazy for you?

Too crazy. And the thing with his daughter pissed me off beyond belief. I get it, you have certain beliefs and don't wish to compromise them. Fine. But to turn on your own daughter because of her choices......bullshit.

So I voted for whoever the hell the libertarian was at the time.

168 169 You are Welcome.

169 What is this, an Abbot & Costello routine?

170 173, More a Hope and Crosby on the road to some fucking place.

171 That's a broad brush, but the fiscal cons need to be in the lead right now, I feel.

Amen.

172 I loved Cannon, especially when he would chase people through heavily wooded areas in his giant Oldmobile because he was too fat to run.

173 176, What makes him different from any other local cop in the country. Our School has an on site deputy. That fat bastard needs to meet Jenny Craig.

174

Also in The Battle of the Bulge

Tell me about it

175 176 Actually I believe that Cannon drove a Lincoln Mark II.

176

Why is it that everyone sees abortion as the only social issue?  Medicare, medicaid, and social security are all social issues.   So is most of the bullshit that deWon touts on a daily basis, especially deWoncare.

You can't run on putting social issues on the back burner, if you want to win a Republican primary.   Oh, and union raping of our tax dollars is a social issue, too.    Fine, Daniels is pro-life.   Don't think for a minute it won't be one of the issues the dems won't push to the front.

Posted by: robtr at April 29, 2011 08:33 PM (MtwBb)

Fine, but I should not have to pay for it.

They make billions, and should not be funded by the government.

178

People are worried about fiscal issues.  Lead with fiscal issues.  Make everything a fiscal issue, which everything is.

Frame social issues as fiscal ones:  we'd have a bunch more tax revenue coming in right now if those 30 millions babies hadn't been aborted, for example.  And we'd have more soldiers for Obama's wars.

We should really force all these single young Democrats to quit selfishly living alone and move in together to save money, energy, and Gaia.

And espresso drinks, for crying out loud?  Are those really necessary?  They're wasteful as hell, I know that.  Coffee to make one shot of espresso would make 4-5 cups of regular coffee.  And don't get me started on the energy used by an espresso machine vs. the energy used by a coffee maker.

179 I just finished cleaning out my wife's marijuana pipe. The things we men do for love...

180 Buddy Ebson is Barnaby Jones.  Another implausable series.  A 70 year old dick chasing down young punks.

They make a pretty good argument that if they quit doing the birth control side of their business that their abortion business would be a lot better than it already is.

All the "good" that Planned Parenthood does could easily be done by any number of other organizations that aren't also in the killing business.   PP is the largest abortion provider in the country and everything else they do is just a front for that.    ANY funding they get from anywhere furthers their abortion racket -- money is fungible.

251 All of this hand wringing is unproductive.

Daniels has experience and gravitas, he's smart and has an impressive record, he can point to specific successes in every area where Obama has failed. It will be impossible to Alinsky him.

Watch his interview with Peter Robinson, he is not in favor of a VAT, he was just using that as an example of moving away from taxes on production and savings toward taxes on consumption.

Daniels wants to end Social Security down the road and replace it with something else, that's as conservative a proposal as you will find in this field.

As long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot Obama is very beatable.

Bullshit, the government funds them, planned parenthood makes a shit load of money, so it is a fiscal issue. He is not trying to stop planned parenthood, he is saying we should not fund them.

So yeah, it would save the government money, and they can go about their evil deed with profits made from killing babies.

Planned parenthood is rich, why the fuck are we funding them?

269 It would be a huge improvement if we could just stop tax payer funded partial birth abortions.  Those are so f'd up even Russia and Europe do not legally perform them where here they are tax payer funded.

270 Awesome. I was just aching for another candidate I can't get excited about regardless of how many blue pills he Doles out.

271 More proof that Obama was born in Hawaii ... from a FOIA on Obama Sr. that was released on Wednesday ...

http://tinyurl.com/3epzfs3

Page 34 - "They have one child born Honolulu 08/04/1961."

Granted the rest of the document makes Obama Sr. look like a polygamist, illegal alien, foreign national, and complete *free shit army* leechfuck douchebag ...

272

Mitch Daniels appears to agree with the "death panel" idea for saving money.

How about the "kick them the hell out" idea for illegals getting free medical care, college tuition, and other goodies before we begin offing granny and grandpa by denying them life-saving decisions?

Mitch? You're another slightly crazy cousin who should be in the attic. He's one cold man who looks like he's slightly deranged and would make a great mortician or Nazi guard.

Gee...do I sound negative?

Don't like his face, and women won't vote for such a dour-looking man.

273 "Daniels has experience and gravitas, he's smart and has an impressive record, he can point to specific successes in every area where Obama has failed. It will be impossible to Alinsky him."  

If you think it is "impossible" to Alinsky anyone, then you don't understand Alinsky. 

He's just what we need.  Another Ivy League suit just like the Ivy League suits who have preceded him for the past 30+ years.   The democrat / media cabal will knock this guy's teeth out then kick him in the stomach for mumbling.  The second day will be even worse.  

The State of Indiana has funded Planned Parenthood every single day his Mitchness has been governor.  He's just now discovering this is a bad idea?   Right after the Tea Party raised holy hell about it.  A coincidence I'm sure.  Great minds thinking alike, etc. etc.   

Can anybody name one single leftist who gives a tinker's damn about Mitch Daniels?    Something to think about. 

P.S. "Gravitas" is a liberal talking point first used in 2000 as a way to say Bush was too stupid to be president.    

P.P.S., Daniels went from being Richard Lugar's number one butt boy to the Bush White House to carrying the bag for Eli Lilly to Governor of Indiana.  Is that what we now call experience and gravitas?    

Yea but who cares.  After all any doorknob with feet could beat Obama.  That's what all the smart guys say.   A winning strategy I'm sure.

The democrat / media cabal will knock this guy's teeth out then kick him in the stomach for mumbling. 

 

Can you name me a Republican candidate that the democrate/media cabal won't do this to?

275 I agree that Daniels will get the Palin treatment.  They have even set the groundwork for it, if you look around.

But he can counter this with being a serious and experienced leader.  It simply isn't possible to write him off as an empty suit.  It just won't happen.  they will instead cast him as a bad person with constant demonization, and try to distract from his credentials.

Can Daniels fight back?  Our nominee must fight back.  Just because someone isn't yet doing that doesn't mean they can't.  Daniels did take on the unions very early on in his administration, and if I recall, he was relentless until he won, and then moved on like a professional.

We'll see.  Our nominee candidates need to duke it out so we see who has the ability to fight back.  A person with Daniels's values and fiscal focus and experience, plus an ability to fight back, is my ideal.

276 Hmm, I have a feeling that it doesn't seem right..

277 No more tax money for the murder of the unborn no more blood money to the UN and the zero populationists

278 I don't see Reagan running, alas. But at least this guy & Pawlenty don't come across as members of a traveling carnival show. Posted by: CoolCzech at April 29, 2011 10:14 PM Tim "we should have listened to Jimmy Carter" Pawlenty? Seriously? Geez... Yeah, let's replace Obama with this guy: ---------- "The era of small government is over . . . government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." --- Tim Pawlenty, 2006. In April, Mr. Pawlenty delivered the remarks that probably best reveal his views on the environment. "It looks like we should have listened to President Carter," he told the Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group. "He called us to action, and we should have listened. . . . Climate change is real. Human behavior is partly and may be a lot responsible. Those who donÂ’t think so are simply not right. We should not spend time on voices that say itÂ’s not real." At times it seems that Mr. PawlentyÂ’s first political instinct is to placate liberal critics... ---------- That last statement I bolded could have just as easily been stated by Obama. And had Obama stated it, we would have trashed him for that. But Pawlenty holds that view, and it's a-okay with 'conservatives'? Oy... The guy is a big, "more proactive, more aggressive" government, global warming activist who says that government should not even listen to those who say that AGW is a hoax. Yeah, that sounds like the next great conservative GOP standard bearer. Give me a break. Take everything we hated about Dubya and McCain and that's Tim Pawlenty. And people want him for the next GOP President? No, thank you. In fact let me rephrase that... FUCK.NO.
