I was initially very upset with the whole social issues “truce” talk.

Daniels is very active in getting absentee fathers to be responsible. That's a social issue.

It's at the Federal level he's leery. And rightly so. The liberals dominate social issues there.

Return social issues to the states and many social problems will be solved. This is anathema to liberals because they will lose.

Dear Siena Dreaming,

“It's at the Federal level he's leery.”

Then he should be very happy to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal level, in that it's inappropriate to deal with the issue of funding abortion at the federal level.

He should be enthusiastic about defending the Defense of Marriage Act, since all that law does is preserve the ability of the STATES to legislate about marriage as they see fit.

He should be outspoken about overturning Roe, as the states are barred from even asking fundamental questions about abortion “rights” by this decision, and can only legislate around the edges.

We'll see.

I'm open to his candidacy, but if he really wants to call a “truce” on social issues, then I won't be voting for him.

At this point, though, his [good] actions speak louder than his [bad] words.
