Truce

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels wants a truce between liberals and conservatives.

Already campaigning for the top spot, he said, "The next President would have to call a truce on the so-called social issues” so he or she could focus on the fiscal problems facing the country." Spoken like the technocrat He is. Yes, he is not all bad. But to ignore social issues for the bottom line is worse than disastrous. Wouldn't it be funny if that plunged us into another civil war?

What would that 'truce' entail? I don't mean entitlement, which would probably continue unfetered.

Leftists do NOT compromise. They make the rest do so. Then they take little by little.

The Founders would fundamentally disagree with Mr. Daniels. Never give an inch. And how can you divorce the 'social' from anything else? It's a recipe for disaster as it were.

Instead of going this semi good old boy root, Mitch should get a grip and stand up with those who want to bring back this Republic!

Guess I won't be invited to any soirees for our boy from Indiana.

I prefer the truth.

Is Mitch a liar?

He is a politician who says the right thing for the most people.

His gun rights record for the state has been good. But why does he NOT rescind the fiat rule not even voted on concerning no guns in the State House?

Who controls him?

If he can't be trusted to do such a simple thing, what will he do as President?

My guess is that if elected, he will be careful not to pass anything inflamitory. He would be Bush light.

I would give him unswerving support if he promised to take every gun law off the fed books. Then again we get into the thorny 'social issues'. What of birth control/abortion? What of indeed the economy? No answers mean more controversy equals votes for ambiguity.

Will he pressure Congress and appeal to American business to regroup here and install incentives to that end?

Will he honestly see about what life is re abortion? There is never a clear cut answer to that because there is division. How can he address that?

He is one man, yes. But if he wants to be the leader of the free world, if that even has relevance as a title now, he better pony up.

Where are the Jeffersons, and well after that guy there are debates who is good, that can take us back not into a retroactive stagnation but to a point where we are renewed?

Any wealthy 3pers available?
