7 thoughts on “Why I Support Mitch Daniels”

  1. Anyone who has read and seriously appreciated Mancur Olson is a President to be reckoned with. Olson knew that what America’s bureaucracy needs the most of all is the business end of a wrecking ball.

  2. That’s a nice list! Thanks for posting this.

    I wonder how many of these are available in Kindle format?

  3. If Daniels really believed in these books, he would not say (as he just did) that he is open to increasing the net tax burden on Americans.

    No serious “libertarian” can possibly believe we aren’t surrendering enough taxes (freedom) to Big Brother.

  4. It bothers me that he seems to think the GOP’s problem is people don’t like Republicans.

    No Mitch — the problem isn’t liking. The problem is trust. Trust got Reagan elected in 1980. It boosted the GOP to control of Congress in 1994 because of the perceived contrast with Clinton, and then it cost the GOP its majorities in both houses in 2006.

    I don’t expect great things from a politician who doesn’t get this.

  5. I agree with McGehee. And for the “herd” which votes, but is politically uninformed, he’s not sufficiently prepossessing.

  6. How can the voters trust a man who helped DeLay and Bush/Cheney lie to us for years about the real value of the Federal deficits? He was the chief functionary who set up those lying reports, working with the Congressional budget committees to fund two wars through “supplementary appropriations”, then Daniels omitted those supplements from the deficit reports to us peasants.

    BTW, ending this massive fraud was a campaign promise of Mr. Obama’s, one he acted upon in early 2009, with his new OMB director.
