Gov. Mitch Daniels Needs To Be Bitch-Slapped*

It is amazing how some people like the current governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, does not get the conservative Republican base wanting NOT to forget who got all of us here, former President Ronald Reagan. Yeas & Nays - Gov. Daniels: People need to get over Reagan, already - Examiner.com
After all, Gov. Daniels began his public service in the Reagan administration and has been a conservative all of his political life. He has fallen into the trap that we just want to return to the Reagan years.
Well, we would have to turn back the clock and our enemies would have to be adjusted somewhat and the Democrats would have to control a lot more of the government than they do now.
But seriously, what Mr. Daniels and his ilk need to understand, we want to understand the way that Mr. Reagan governed and how he would address the current situation domestically and internationally.
It is learning from our past. I for one do not look to Mr. Reagan just for nostalgia's sake, I look to the vision that Mr. Reagan had.
So, what does Gov. Daniels think we should jettison? Should the Republican party give up on being a pro-life party? Should we be for more government? Should we negotiate with those who wish to destroy us, the Islamofacsist terrorists?
This is another in a long line of conservatives that support Sen. John "F--- You" McCain saying it is unfair to keep comparing the senator to the former president. Well, Sen. "F--- You" McCain does that himself, constantly reminding anyone that will listen that he was a "foot soldier" in the Reagan Revolution. He always is talking about the issues that have not been resolved that still need to be dealt with. The tax code, the size of government. And, like Mr. Reagan he calls our enemy what they are, Islamofacsist terrorists. He has not backed down.
Every Democrat who runs for president reminds the American people about their heroes, FDR, Truman, JFK. No one says that they should not do that. It is how they pull the wool over the people's eyes on occasion and sneak into the presidency, a la Carter and Clinton.
So, there is no reason not to compare Sen. "F--- You" McCain to the Great Man. After all, President Bush ran under the Reagan mantle-with the "compassionate conservative" pablum mixed in.
So, I think that Gov. Daniels needs to be taken to the woodshed, slapped around a little and reminded why we look to Ronald Reagan's leadership, not in a nostalgic way but as a guide to the way we want to see the current GOP standard bearer, Sen. "F--- You" McCain govern.
