Mitch Daniels Opposes Arizona-Style Immigration Law (RINO Alert!)
The New York Times ^ | April 14, 2011 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Is Mitch Daniels, the governor of Indiana, going to run for president in 2012?

Mr. Daniels, a wonkish Republican, has not yet said whether he will seek his party’s nomination, but his comments Wednesday about immigration could make it a bit more difficult if he does.

Faced with lawmakers who are considering an Arizona-style immigration law, Mr. Daniels said he did not support controversial provisions that sparked a national debate last year that would provide police officers the power to question and detain people they think are illegal immigrants.

“I think that legislation will be changed,” Mr. Daniels said Wednesday, according to The State Column. “I support this, to drop the law enforcement provisions that have been the ones that have bothered most people.”

My vote is going to the first candidate who openly embraces the Ryan plan (or Ryan himself if we can draft him late).

So, Mitch — should we call a “truce” on immigration issues, too?

Get off the stage. You’re not ready for prime time.

Where is the battle for actually cutting the size of government? I’m talking about the government that regulates and controls practically every aspect of our lives at this point. Paul Ryan who voted for TARP has not got one unecessary govt agency that he would shut down and put the padlock on. I have a few: Dept of Energy, Dept of Educ, Dept of HUD, EPA, ATF, TSA, DHS.

Cutting the so called entitlement programs do nothing to enhance our freedom or restore the constitutional republic. We are all being duped by our own leadership. Nobody is holding their feet to the fire.

Lets stop calling Social Security and Medicare entitlements. Every worker in this country is legally required to enroll in and contribute to Social Security and Medicare. There is no choice. It is deducted from your paycheck every 2 weeks. That is not entitlement it is mandatory enrollment in pension and insurance.

Sorry I’m not buying the BS this time around. You shouldn’t either.
