Mitch Daniels the last, best hope for GOP sanity
Joe Klein speaks for many, I suspect:
This is my 10th presidential campaign, Lord help me. I have never before seen such a bunch of vile, desperate-to-please, shameless, embarrassing losers coagulated under a single party’s banner. They are the most compelling argument I’ve seen against American exceptionalism. Even Tim Pawlenty, a decent governor, can’t let a day go by without some bilious nonsense escaping his lizard brain. And, as Greg Sargent makes clear, Mitt Romney has wandered a long way from courage. There are those who say, cynically, if this is the dim-witted freak show the Republicans want to present in 2012, so be it. I disagree. One of them could get elected. You never know. Mick Huckabee, the front-runner if you can believe it, might have to negotiate a trade agreement, or a defense treaty, with the Indonesian president some day. Newt might have to discuss very delicate matters of national security with the president of Pakistan. And so I plead, as an unflinching American patriot — please Mitch Daniels, please Jeb Bush, please run. I may not agree with you on most things, but I respect you. And you seem to respect yourselves enough not to behave like public clowns.
Personally, I’d be shocked if Jeb Bush runs, because he’s smart enough to know that Bush fatigue is a major obstacle and because he has made no noises to date about a candidacy.
I also won’t be shocked if Mitch Daniels declines. The cast of characters that Klein describes as “a bunch of vile, desperate-to-please, shameless, embarrassing losers” hasn’t assembled itself accidentally. They have materialized because that’s what the GOP base demands at the moment. This is an electorate motivated for the most part by resentment, fear and paranoia, and it’s looking for candidates willing to tell them that their resentment, fear and paranoia are fully justified. At this point, whoever does that best will probably be the nominee.
I doubt Daniels can play that game very well. That’s not who he is, and unlike Mitt Romney, he doesn’t seem willing to pretend otherwise. In weighing whether to run, Daniels has to decide whether a very different, more sober message has a chance to be heard in this environment.
If he decides the answer is no, there’s no market for what he has to sell, it will say more about the state of the modern Republican Party than anything from Joe Klein or other pundits.

Fully 69% of Americans are angry about Congressional policies….. only 43% of the electorate at least somewhat approve of Bozo and his policies while 56% do not….. 58% believe in repeal of the health care law….. labor market confidence is at an 8 month low….. only 17% of Americans view Bozo as a good war time president…. housing foreclosures at an all time high…. unemployment essentially unchanged in over a year….. and lastly, 55% view Hillary in a positive mode. No matter who runs against Bozo, the American electorate is both pissed off and dissatisfied with our President. When are the libs going to stop plastering lipstick on this pig and admit that he is not doing his job to the satisfaction of the average voter. Denial is a most descriptive word.

Hogwash! The Dems just took the biggest defeats in decades. Republican governors control the majority of states. Reapportionment will occur under those repub governors. Barry is a daily embarrassment and now constantly on the ropes. Joe Klein, Jay and other Leftist media are engaging in what back in the day was called “brain washing” while Jay’s patriots here march to their own drum oblivious to the majority world.

Precisely! That’s exactly what I’m saying. In America today there is one brand of Kool Aid and one brand only on tap, and that’s the one being offered in places like Fox News, etc. There is no other.
So all that one has to do is be free of that Kool Aid and one is by that fact alone already well on one’s way to the truth.
By definition, anyone who is not a conservative observer is rational, sane, centrist, neutral.

“The Dems just took the biggest defeats in decades.”
And the holocaust never happened.

Including a jaw-dropping ZERO for 36 in congressional races in 06.

By definition, anyone who is not a conservative observer is rational, sane, centrist, neutral.
Just to add to this point, this is why the whole flap over NPR is so beside the point (and no one misses the point more than NPR’s own executives who think they have to try to be objective, when they do that by definition, just by not being FOX News). NPR is the opposite of FOX News, Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest, it’s true. But that does NOT mean that it’s LEFT wing. By being the OPPOSITE of the right, that simply means that they are in the center, that they’re rational and reasonable, that’s all.
So take me for example. I’m Left wing management. But I could just as easily – and accurately – call myself Neutral / Rational Management. It’s all the same you see.

I would rather elect someone who has owned a business (Pizza or whatever) than someone who has merely organized a community. What does that even mean? Like a homeowner’s association president??
I suggest that his time as a community organizer is about as important a credential as any other. America is not a business. America is a 330 million strong community and we need to get organized. Community organizers move people from complaining to action. America needs that. Community organizers bring people together for the common good. America needs that. It’s real grassroots and America needs that.
Let’s face it, we tried the business exec in Bush 43, and like his business, his administration failed. Trump would be no better, with his history of bankruptcy. Trying to run a nation like a business is nifty and important sounding I know, but really foolish. Americans are not employees that can be hired or fired. We don’t retire our citizens from there citizenship. The nation’s job is to promote it’s people welfare, not make a profit.
I say hurray for the people who organize in our communities and work for the betterment of America. God bless them everyone

To the wealthy:
The little people probably crack you up when you bother to think about them. Their version of the American Dream is a ragged blanket too short to cover them, but they still buy into it, and that’s the secret of your strength in the end. So many of them walk into the voting booths and solemnly vote against their own best interests, and for yours, because the American Dream makes them think they, too, will be rich someday. They won’t – you’ve made sure of that – but so long as they keep believing it, your money will continue to roll in.

During the student demonstrations in France in 1968 they had a saying that “God is a left wing intellectual” which I wholeheartedly endorse. Just try telling your Pat Robertson or Jerry Fallwell that one! But it’s true.
Truth is radically left wing. Stated differently, the Left wing is the only wing that is IN truth, which is why it’s redundant to say neutral, centrist and left, since these are the same. The Left already includes the center by definition. The truth is in possession of the truth, while the right is possessed by the truth (only they don’t know it). There are no other positions on the spectrum to hold.

“Doggone….ever read the book of “Esther” in the bible?”
No, it’s an apocryphal book and is not in the Lutheran bible that I was raised on

getalife,
translation for you……that ‘hopey and changey’ thing for 2012 has started and this guy will say anything to anyone who will listen about all kinds of things he doesn’t believe in or believes in, or what people may be willing to believe to get re-elected…..like when he implied a vote for him will help lower the sea levels…..it’s amazing how many easily-led ‘dems’ could be swayed by that……100 years ago obama would have been a great snake oil salesman with that line….

Paul,
Fox was the last to cut him off and gave him another thirty seconds.
Then attacked high gas prices.
Too funny.

“But those who are owned by the RepDem (or is DemRep?) Party, and don’t even know it, will support squashing of any and all attempts at fundamental improvements in our democracy…”
Kind of like the Sunni/Shia argument……..try taking away the power from the Big 2, and dems and reps would throw their 2/3’s behind the old system…………they know they can look forward to power every so many years………….

Get Real : “Anybody remotely conservative is a whack-o to this left wing nut job… ”
Nope, in the current environment anyone who’s remotely conservative objectively IS a whack-o, pure and simple. (See above explanation of why there are only two possible positions: conservative-extremist and everyone else/rational).
