Remember when a lot of FReepers were giddy about Mitch? I asked then “do we really know much about Mitch? he is fiscal in some areas but he is unknown in a lot of other areas
I like the guy..
First and foremost, HE IS A REALIST...
And if you had lived through Gov. O’Bannon’s corrupt reign, you would understand exactly what I mean by that.
You just cannot take away many of the handouts Democrats have procured without massive civil unrest, which would be even more harmful to the economy. Greece anyone?
You have to wean them off of them slowly, like you would a heroin addict, a little bit at a time, and as the economy can absorb the workers.
The problem is that there are a few anti-Christians among the “fiscal” conservatives. They hate everything to do with social conservatives and will latch on to anyone that seems to be one of them. Ol’ Mitch thought social conservatives should be quiet and move to the back of the bus. These fiscal so-called “conservatives” thought they had a champion.
You have to be leery of anyone who claims to be conservative in the fiscal area only, because if they don’t support all of conservatism fiscal, social, and constitutional “smaller” govt., chances are good they are not really conservative at all. Looks like Mitch has outed himself completely.
