  • I hate this cocksucking motherfucking son of a bitch. I'm a proud Indiana born American citizen, and this prick has sold my toll road, he has come close to putting a dump in my back yard (he would have done it if it wasn't so heavily protested), he almost built a superhighway through my back yard, and he signed the "right to work bill", a bill which threatens to make my proud home state one of the most impoverished in the country. I can't believe you idiots voted him in.

  • Mitch is a bitch as McConnell is!

  • mitch is a communist. He made it legal for warrantless searches in indiana

  • free tyell morton

  • On September 15, 2002, Lawrence B. Lindsey estimated the high limit on the cost of the Bush administration's plan in 2002 of invasion and regime change to be about $100–$200 billion. Mitch Daniels, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, subsequently said this estimate was "very, very high" and stated that the costs would be between $50–$60 billion. This lower figure was endorsed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld who called Lindsey's estimate "baloney".

    Vote for this douche !

  • Run Mitch Run!

  • seriously.... you people would vote for him with indiana's unemployment still at 8.8% (higher than the national average) yeah he's doing such a good job.

    i know someone who works for the state who says he's robbing the school system blind, and isn't fulfilling his contractual payments which is why indiana seems to have an excess of money right now, but projects are ceasing everywhere. road construction has all but come to a halt, and our infrastructure is falling apart.

  • @jeremalaria: By that rationale NO ONE should EVER vote for a politician from Chicago, EVER!

    Crime ridden corrupt hell hole inhabited by recipient class parasites.

  • @espada9 ha ha you're probably right :)

  • I see alot of positive comments out here about Gov Daniels.

    I'm only 3 minutes into the thing, and I've seen a campaign add, and heard him say he wouldn't run for any other office, yet here we are hearing about his 2012 presedential run.

    So he's already going back on his word.

    Be careful of the RINO. We saw what happened last time we let the liberal mainstream media pick our candidate.

    Mr Moderate McCain got his ass whooped, and look at the mess we're in.

    Now I'm gonna keep listening.

  • What a wet sock. "I'm not going to second guess anyone's decision." Come on. These wars have been a complete disaster.

  • GOD DAMN!

    FINALLY!!!!

    The first person in a loooooonnngggg time that seems genuine.

  • I like him we is very honest.

  • I don't understand all the negative comments that Mitch Daniels gets about his demeanor. There is nothing in the constitution that says our president has to be an egomaniac. I find his understated approach refreshing and the limits to spending incredibly impressive. In addition his dedication to school choice shows that he is willing to stick up for principle even if it may not help him that much politically.

  • Doesnt have any charisma, but seems sensible and decent man. Id vote for him.

  • @jimmbo13 actually, he is charismatic, but in a modest way...if that makes any sense lol. Obama on the other hand, is a classical narcissist as was defined by Sigmund Freud.

  • so he was Senator Dick Lugar's little bitch for 20 years and he thinks he knows how the real world works?!

  • Comment removed

  • I think either Daniels or Huntsman would make the most promising candidates for 2012. I don't think a Romney or Huckabee could make it a real race against a personally still well-liked President Obama.

    Not that I'd be in any danger of voting for any Republican. In the days of Eisenhower or Roosevelt, perhaps. But the 21st century GOP is a far cry from the moderate and in parts progressive GOP of old.

  • @charlesf Daniels reminds me of one of my favorite presidents,Calvin Coolidge in the way he contrast so sharply with Barack "too cool for you" Obama . Unlike, Obama who is in love with the sound of his own voice and truly believe the nation would be a better place if we would all just shutup & follow orders,Daniels is quite,modest and understands that a good government has limits. Although,my first choice now--as it was in 2008, is Ron Paul,he or Gary Johnson are decent alternative choices.

  • "so you're mitch daniels?" "Yea, you know who I am?" "No." hahaha had to replay that atleast 5 times!

  • He is probably a fine governor, but I don't think he's presidential material.

  • @JImmy4336 What presidential qualities do you think he lacks? He may be a bit of a "gray mouse," but I think that'd be refereshing after the self-aggrandizing President Obama. Humility is a fine quality, even for a President.

  • He'd be a fine presidential candidate.

  • I'm honestly not impressed with Governor Daniels. It's a shame that the public is fed complete lies from the media and will not stand up to defend what is right. A majority of the public actually believe the words pooring from the Governors mouth (and not just this one,its many government officials). The people are conditioned to believe through comercials and magazines that government officials will do as they promise. Maybe,"We the people will wake up and realize something needs to be done.

  • I think he's one of the few Republicans who could win in 2012 because of his ability to attract independent voters and not just turn out the hardcore wing of the party and turn-off voters in the middle (A la Huckabee, Palin). He could win back states like PA, OH and IN. BUT, he needs a serious image makeover to run a national campaign because people will eventually see that before his great policy decisions as Governor.

  • He waited until his Republican friends got elected yesterday to ell us this.

  • This Callous butt whole is planning to cut unemployment for our state! We have over 10% unemployment and he is trying to cut it? For 1 billion dollars? Hello ONE billion dollars Republicans are trying to look good on the BACKS of their citizens, he had not problem with giving 600 billions to the colts and hundreds of billions to the pacers! But the unemployed he says 1 billion is too much, go homeless fools! Go homeless!

  • @indyman77 The fact that your stats are childishly erroneous seems to take away from any serious implications you were attempting to make. Besides, quit sucking the government tit and get a job.

  • @estermoffat My stats where from a news report, and they are incorrect it should be 600 million not 600 billion it was a typo that I passed on. I now have a job, how does that change ANYTHING about what the Governor is doing? It is still sickining, and wicked. Callous just like your statement, humans are sheep. That is why Republican followers act as callous as their leaders.  Even though there are a LOT of them that are in the same situation they judge everyone else but excuse themselves.

  • @indyman77 You know he was one of the few who brought Indiana out of debt. Indiana was and is one of the FEW states out of debt.

  • Is this the brother of Deborah Daniels? She just bought some of my horror. I have to wonder if it was for her, or him?

  • The GOP is ridiculous if it does not make Gov Daniels a possible Presidential contender in 2012. I would like to see him run. I dont care what certain crazy television pundits say, I find this guy incredibly interesting, capable, and very Presidential.

  • @Calsummersishere You have NO idea....this guy likes outsourcing jobs. I am very close to loosing mine. He is pro illegal.

  • @glenpj2 The problem isn't outsourcing, it's that our govt schools extract over $10k per student-year on average, but supply the kids with an inferior education, one that leaves them with skills that don't even help them be more productive than an Indian, Chinese or Mexican whose schooling cost much less. We're being forced to pay for an inferior product, and govt schools aren't adequately using our superior educational resources to amplify the kids' productive ability to keep jobs here.

  • @hughtub Wrong, the problem is outsourcing. School reforms are needed, yes. But the solution isn't privatizing education like the criminal element would have us believe.

  • @Antiks72 Privatizing education means we can choose, just as we choose which brand of computer to buy, or which car to buy. Are you defending the monopoly that govt holds on educating our children? Privatizing it will provably lower cost (by increasing competition) and increase quality (by forcing schools to prove higher value to its customers). In the end, we get what we pay for, except when dealing with govt. Then we only get what they choose to give us, with money they stole from us.

  • @hughtub Privatizing education will result in vast inequalities across the board, because profit is the main motive. Costs will also go up as huge corporations gouge us in the name of profit. Furthermore there will be some areas in which corporate America doesn't build school, leaving those areas SOL for education. Now it's true with the current system, poor areas still get shafted while richer areas have better teachers and public schools. Common sense reforms would change all that.

  • @Antiks72 Do costs go up when competition is increased? No, it's an economic truth that when an existing service provider is exposed to new competition, they HAVE to either: 1) increase quality 2) lower cost or they WILL lose customers. Govt schools are a monopoly. They cost MORE than private schools, but provide inferior education. Los Angeles public cost taxpayers $30,000 per student. Obviously letting people choose where to put their money would greatly reduce that cost! FEW would pay that!

  • @hughtub That's capitalism on paper, but the fact of the matter is corporations hate competition, and so we've seen merger after merger to control more and more of the market place in everything imaginable. This is what freemarketeers like this douchebag advocate, which is ZERO regulations on big business. Example: the health insurance scam. Medicare is WAY cheaper. Ditto for higher education. Private colleges are way more money. Reforms, not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

  • @Antiks72 The less regulating there is, the EASIER it is for new competing businesses to draw customers from existing ones. Regulations and minimum wage laws are like obstacles. A giant (corporation) hops over easily, while small businesses are hurt much more since they don't have the benefit of the same economy of scale as the big business to make up the loss.

  • @hughtub Not true. Giant corporations should not be allowed to "hop over" regulations if you have laws in place, and people enforcing those laws. If they do it now, it's because their cronies in Congress have been bought off and staffed the SEC with people sympathetic to big business. The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down campaign contribution limits is proof positive of this. Deregulating the banking industry was the worst thing we've done ever. Ditto for NAFTA.

  • @Antiks72 hahaha. medicare is "cheaper" only insofar as the government in effect steals from health care providers by refusing to pay more than half (much less in many cases) what the care actually costs. Those costs then get passed on by the providers to the shmucks still dumb enough to have private insurance.

  • @helm8969 Many companies don't except medicare patients. See the ever so compassionate Kaiser Permanente for instance. So much for your claim that they "steal". That's a tax payer funded program. But yeah, if medicare was funded more we might be able to pay out more. Or, we could just take profit out of it altogether and tell those rich execs to take hike, like Europe and Canada did decades ago.

  • @Antiks72 A few things here: 1. You are correct that many providers now no longer accept (except would be to make an exception for) medicare patients because they will lose a shitload of money on those patients. 2. Please go google medical tourism and then report back to us on how awesome the health care systems are in the EU, Canada (America's hat) etc.

  • @helm8969 Sorry, but I'm not your bitch to take orders from you on what to google. I've spoken with plenty of people that the EU and Canada's health scare systems are fine. Not perfect, but good.

  • @Antiks72 I'm Norwegian. Our health care system has decent quality, though long queues. The problem is that it doesn't seem to be sustainable in the long-term. We've got large oil reserves here though, so it can be propped up for at least a few more generations. I think you'll see big problems with the public health care systems of the other Scandinavian countries in the near future. Liberalisation and large spending cuts will likely be necessary for them.

  • Very impressive

  • He reminds me enormously of my favorite President, Calvin Coolidge. Appearance, demeanor, virtues, politics, the full package.

  • @ErikNikolai I agree Daniels does remind me of Coolidge, also one of my favorite presidents, and he sounds like he can get the job done. The only difference is the culture. Daniels is a Heartland, Midwestern biker. Coolidge was a dry-witted, faithful new england academic. I hope he runs in 2012. Name-recognition is a problem of course.

  • @Willredd94

    Yeah; it's a shame he's still polling in the single digits in most straw polls. Here we have an experienced policy wonk, and more people prefer demagogues like Palin and Gingrich? Come ON.

  • @ErikNikolai I agree 100%. my favorite president is also Coolidge.

  • Makes you wonder/think. YouTube -

  • I know Mitch said he won't run for Prez, but his very reticence, to me at least, is a great quality for a potential leader. I'm from NC and we are dealing w/ Bev Purdue (dem....sigh). Governor Daniels seems like a genuine and thoughtful man. Very different from what we have in the White House now. I'm gonna keep an eye on this guy.

  • @bluknight99 yes, keep a eye....he's not what you think

  • IA is Iowa dummies! Mitch Daniels is Governor of Indiana. That would be IN.

  • @blicious187 You have NO idea....this guy likes outsourcing jobs. I am very close to loosing mine. He is pro illegal.

  • The person who posted this made a mistake labeling Mitch as a Governor from Iowa (IA). He is the proud great Governor of Indiana.

  • Imaginepeace 3, no offense, but if Daniel's humble attitude doesn't show you that he isn't "bought and paid for", then you're either blind or just plain ignorant. He is clearly the epitome of what an elected official should be and how they should approach the job.

  • You have NO idea....this guy likes outsourcing jobs. I am very close to loosing mine. He is pro illegal.

  • And also the governor of Iowa (IA) is a Democrat. Ooopsie, CSPAN!

  • Indiana, not Iowa.

  • Doesn't IA stand for Iowa? Indiana is IN.

  • Not really, we really like him, hes great with the budget-- and i'm a democrat.

  • @uptownxgirlx This man is costing jobs.....what budget....in his pocket

  • @glenpj2 explain. are you a hoosier?

  • @uptownxgirlx yes
