Daniels simply has never looked at the issue of abortion, except as something insoluable politically. Much as Steven Douglas could never get his head around the issue of slavery. Men like Douglas could never understand that the war came about because too many Americans were in love with evil or indifferent to it, until it came around and bit them in the butt.
In practice ,there probably isnt a more conservative governor out there right now.
I think his political tack here is a mistake, but for you to call him a Rockefeller Republican, you must be on drugs.
Evil deeds have real consequences. For instance, the fifty million dead babies if allowed to grow to maturity would be doing the jobs now filled by fifteen million immigrants, and most of them doing the jobs better.
God will not be mocked - these issues may not matter to you, but they matter to God.
God will continue to remove His hand of protection from America as long as she keeps slaughtering babies and winking at the abomination of homosexual lewdness.
We will never regain our economic footing if we don't heed His warnings.
Daniels is not correct. We have a fiscal problem precisely because we have a severe morality problem. If we don’t take on both problems at the same time, we solve nothing.
Promise:
No candidate that supports either abortion or same sex marriage,etc will ever get my vote. I don’t care what else the person has to offer, they are unfit to serve.
I saw him on Fox News Sunday and FWIW, I wouldn’t take alipundit’s word for anything.
I don’t know enough about the governor to offer an informed opinion, but I’d sure like to hear what hoosiermama, Miss Marple and other residents of Indiana think about him.
Dirk Kempthorne is a conservative who was a U.S. senator from Idaho, 1993-’99; governor of Idaho, 1999-’05; and U.S. Secretary of the Interior, 2005-’09.
He is politically tone deaf if he think he can win the election without the energetic support of social conservatives. It was they would twice elected George Bush.
Sounds to me like what he’s really saying is that we should accept the status quo, whatever it may be, on social issues until entitlements are back on the path to solvency.

Sounds like the past five decades, at least.

There will always be criticism of any decent candidate. It is FAR too soon to make a determination like your article tries to do.
A nation’s greatness and soundness are directly tied to its goodness in the sight of God.

Which is why we are presently tipping into the crucible.
Agreed. The only way such a deal could possibly work would be for all laws and court rulings to be reversed until we get back to what they were in 2000. Then absolutely no movement in either direction until we solve the debt problem.
The left would never agree to such a deal. Their idea of a truce is just like the jihadists. It is an opportunity to re-arm and flank your enemy. Truce to them means surrender by us.
You will not lead conservatives by telling them that you only support a portion of what they vote for and why they are conservatives.
Have you ever looked at who the conservative movement is?
I wasn't aware that he ever tried.
(Or were you talking about Stephen Douglas ?)
We have a major problem that must be fixed if we want the country to survive.
To fix it will require focus and sacrifice from many. It will require a UNIFIED front.
If you continue to fracture the electorate on social issues we all lose.
Deal with the financial and we can then try and deal with the rest.
What good is character if you have no country left?
****************
What good is a country which is utterly corrupt?
Well clearly thats your opinion, I just thiink it a failed position. Of course thats just my opinion.
I’ve met the man several times, shook his hand and talked to him. (In fact when he came to speak to our county’s Lincoln Day dinner I had to quick build him a small platform to set behind the podium for him to stand on, but if you vote on his height you should be too stupid to cast a vote anyway.) All I can say is I will campaign for him, donate to him and vote for him if he decides to run. People here who post this nonsense about him really need to see what he has done for this state and what he really stands for before they spout off on him.
No one will be the perfect candidate that is accepted by all here, but put him on the ticket and Sarah as the VP again and it will be our best chance to save this nation financially of all the candidates I have heard are looking to run now IMHO.
So you prefer no country then?
