Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is expected to announce his decision regarding the 2012 Republican presidential nomination in the coming weeks.

Allen County Republican Party Chairman Steve Shine says, “The Indiana Legislature will be adjourning at the end of this month and that is the Governor’s timetable to make his decision on whether or not to run for President.”

The Republican county chairman also noted that he expects Mr. Daniels will enter the 2012 Republican presidential race.

Overall, he is not perfect, he is a proven fiscal conservative.He has put fiscal conservative principles into practice in Indiana. And, although a moderate in other areas, unlike Romney, he is not saddled with the Achilles heel of Romneycare.

Ooh. He’s...yawwwww-w-w-w-nnn... going for the... zzzzz... dramatic ..yawwwnnn.. moment.

No guts, no glory.

Anybody here want to make a video performing “RINO Cowboy”?

RINO Cowboy
(Sung to the tune of Glen Campbell’s Rhinestone Cowboy)

I’ve been walkin’ these streets so long
Singin’ the same old song
I know every lyin trick in every dirty-trick little book
Where hustle’s the name of the game
And patriots get washed away like the snow and the rain
I’ve done a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where my lies are shinin’ on me

Like a RINO cowboy
Riding on my high horse pretendin’ I’m a good ol’ boy
Like a RINO cowboy
Losin’ votes and money from people I don’t even know
No offers comin’ over the phone

Well, I really don’t mind the stain
And a smile can hide all my feign
But you’re blue when you’re ridin’ that train that’s goin’ down the tubes
And I dream of the things I won’t do
With token promises and tons of your tax dollars tucked aside too
I’ve done a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where my lies are shinin’ on me

Like a RINO cowboy
Riding on my high horse pretendin I’m a good ol’ boy
RINO cowboy
Losin’ votes and money from people I don’t even know
No offers comin’ over the phone

Like a RINO cowboy
Riding on my high horse pretendin’ I’m a good ol’ boy

FADE
Like a RINO cowboy
Losin’ votes and money from people I don’t even know

RomneyObamaCare just made an announcement that Obama passes his citizenship test.

The guy is well know for his statement pushing for a "truce" on social issues before the last election.

These miscreants who say we should wait on defending conservative social issues in deference to sound fiscal policy issues will, in fact, never get around to fighting for conservative social issues. Ever. Because they aren't really conservatives.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I am now singing LIKE A RINO COWBOY in my head LOL

[JSDude1]

YUCK- He and Romney why DO these rinos always believe that America “needs them”?

[Antoninus]

Personally, I hope this bum runs. He'll help dilute the RINO vote.

We've just got to make sure we get a good conservative and UNIFY behind that one candidate.

A statement that shows you have no clue what Daniels actually said.

[JSDude1]

Backed off Right to work (and school choice) as well, and he is no “social conservative”..the conservativsm is weak with this one.

[fwdude]

I, as well as everyone else who was paying attention, know perfectly well what Daniels said. It was inexcusable. Stop running interference for this RINO!

I do know perfectly well what Daniels said. And you've got your blinders on.

[jersey117]

Is he another go-along-to-get-along guy? We have enough of those. We need someone who is going to take it to Obama.... starting now!

[fwdude]

"To clarify whether Daniels simply wants to de-emphasize these issues or actually not act on them, I asked if, as president, he would issue an executive order to reinstate Reagan's 'Mexico City Policy' his first week in office. (Obama revoked the policy during his first week in office.) Daniels replied, 'I don't know.'"

[fwdude]

He couldn’t even “take it to” the Indiana Fleebaggers. What’s he going to do against Obama?

[fwdude]

Sounds like no one is just jumping up and down that this guy is jumping into the race. Mostly milquetoast reactions. That’s why he doesn’t need to be the candidate.

[r9etb]

Oh, yeah, there’s a telling statement. (rolls eyes)

[fwdude]

Good, we’ll use the FIFO method (first in-first out).

[fwdude]

Do words mean anything to you?

[libsrscum]

Daniels isn’t my first choice. But, if it comes down to him or 0bama, he will be.
