Mitch Daniels on Indiana “right to work” law: This isn’t the right time
posted at 5:40 pm on February 22, 2011 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: “Apparently, Mitch Daniels not running for president.”
Gov. Mitch Daniels signaled this afternoon that Republicans should drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures.
Daniels told reporters this afternoon that he expected House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. It would be unfortunate if other bills are caught up in the turmoil, he said.
He will not send out state police to corral the Democrats, the Republican governor said.
Daniels claims the Star mischaracterized his comments, insisting that he didn’t tell the legislature to drop the bill but merely said that, in his opinion, they should wait until next term. Why wait? Because, according to Daniels, the right-to-work bill is a big enough deal that it shouldn’t be taken up unless voters are expecting a debate on it. And because the GOP didn’t campaign on it last fall, voters aren’t expecting it this term. Which … is an interesting “good government” principle, but not a convincing one. If you have a legislative advantage, why not press it to advance your agenda and let the public deal with you at the polls next cycle? That’s precisely how the Democrats passed ObamaCare. And yes, they paid dearly for it, but while congressional majorities may come and go, our new health-care law will quite possibly be with us forever. Mitch the Knife, as he’s known for his budget-slashing ways, should be especially prepared to act on big-ticket items when he has the chance, whether they’ve been fully debated in a campaign or not. If he faces off with Obama next year as the nominee, there’s no telling what issue will drive the election: Maybe it’ll be entitlements (in which case we’ll lose) or maybe it’ll be the Middle East or maybe it’ll be something else entirely. If the Medicare debate gets crowded out during the campaign, would a President Daniels refuse to address it because he and The One didn’t talk much about it on the stump?
Mind you, one of Daniels’s very first acts as governor in 2005 was to strip state workers of their collective bargaining rights, which is proof enough that he’s not a squish on labor. (He also expressed support for Scott Walker just yesterday.) Still, it’s unfathomable to me that he’d decline to press hard on unions at a moment when (a) conservatives are hoping to build nationwide momentum against PEUs and (b) the Democratic caucus in Indiana has decided to skip town to obstruct the process there too. At the very least, he could have phrased this as, “I’d prefer to wait until next term to take this up, but if Democrats can’t be bothered to show up, let’s go forward.” Instead, you’ll hear him promise in the clip not to send any state troopers after them, which already has Geraghty (among others) questioning his toughness. Does this guy want to be nominated, despite his apparent willingness to alienate social conservatives and now fiscal conservatives? Or is this final proof that he’s not running after all?

I meant in policy matters, but I have said numerous times before, If Palin washes out or doesn’t run, I could get on the Cain train. Not my #1 choice, but probably in my top-three. I am not the kind of rapid Palinista who even refuses to consider the fact that she may not run. I’ve thought about that. Long and hard. There are even other candidates besides Palin and Cain that I’ve seriously considered the possibility to vote for. That’s why I take the whole “mind-numbed slathering Palinista” meme just a touch personally.

Your opinion is quite defensible. I took it differently, but may well be wrong. Supposing that he meant it the way you stated, I wouldn’t be happy either with that sentiment. However, I could still see it as an attempt to soothe some feathers to get them to get back to work so he can get his pending legislation passed.
I like but am not sold on Daniels, nor anyone at this point. I don’t see today’s actions or statements by him as a reason to discredit him. Basically I see him as trying to defer the right-to-work fight so that he can get some other priorities accomplished. If anything, I admire his pragmatism.
MJBrutus on February 22, 2011 at 8:49 PM
I won’t speak for him but I have always assumed that he thought the devote are a bit hard on the uncommitted.

gryphon202 on February 22, 2011 at 8:47 PM
…and you’ll get my honest thoughts on the 2012 primaries. Palin happens to be my favorite. She’s my #1 pick. I have never thought, nor have I claimed that she is perfect nor is she the be-all and end-all of presidential politics.
gryphon202 on February 22, 2011 at 8:50 PM
I heard about that, nonetheless, Danielians punted by the words (yeah, just words) he used when he could have been more assertive.
Juxtapose his “now’s not the time…” with whatever 3 AM call comes in if he was POTUS? Thanks but no thanks. I’ve seen the future and it’s not gonna be gentle to a titular head that just wants civility for the sake of being nice.
I wasn’t too impressed with him — figuring him to be Bush-esque, tho I’d be inclined to pull the lever for him if he were the nominee. But after today, he can forget about my vote if he were the one. That goes for Huckleberry & Mittens and any other RINO. I’ll vote down ticket, but not for any of the aforementioned.
Give me the likes of Palin, West or Cain, the rest can take a hike!!!
AH_C on February 22, 2011 at 8:50 PM
Pragmatism kills, buddy. A lot of people said that about McCain between 2006 and 2008. 2012 will be a backlash against “pragmatism,” and I say that not as a Palin supporter, but as a newly-minted primary voter.

They/we have certainly gotten defensive from the constant attacks that much I concede.
The problem I have is that what Sarah Palin didn’t say is supposed be a legitimate criticism?
Does it seem that way to you?
sharrukin on February 22, 2011 at 8:53 PM
Yeah I know. It’s going to be 2008 for me all over again most likely. Oh well, I see little possibility of anything fundamentally changing prior to near collapse so it doesn’t make too much difference.

In the interest of precision in language, indulge my clarification here:
Sarah Palin is the presumptive nominee I would most like to vote in the primary for. That sentiment, though I don’t imagine it changing, just might.

It’s like the governor of Wisconsin. He has to watch how hard he pushes on the demonstrators. I don’t think he should push action on the fake doctor notes. After you beat these people on an issue, you still have to live with them.
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 8:55 PM
Seriously??? You’re gonna accuse somebody else of ‘putting words in your mouth’, hot on the heels of actually changing my quote. If I’d meant “spin”, I wouldn’t have said “clarification”.
I don’t know what the guy meant when he said “legitimate part of the process”. Was he talking about the protesters or was he talking about Democrat legislators who don’t want to take part in the democratic process? I’m waiting for clarification.
Murf76 on February 22, 2011 at 8:56 PM
Sure seems that way to me. One could almost extrapolate every one of her policy positions simply on the basis of every law that was never signed into the books in Alaska’s history!
gryphon202 on February 22, 2011 at 8:56 PM
This is the RINO that many think will save the world?
When the going gets tough, Mitch Daniels gets going … toward the nearest exit.
Just like the truce on social issues. Imagine the Democrats declaring a “truce” on social issues: not supporting Planned Parenthood, “abortion rights,” global warming, environmental causes, affirmative action. It will never happen.
As long as the GOP is led by gutless losers like Daniels, Romney, etc., it will be a party of losers.
Stand up Mitch. Oh, you are standing up. Sorry about that.

I believe I actually am passive aggressive when it comes to her. While not totally sold on her, I can’t help but come to her defense when stupid things or fibs are promoted about her. She has been treated very badly but I don’t want that to be the basis of my support.
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 8:58 PM
No, don’t misunderstand me, please. I think what you’re going to get is spin. The only way you’re going to get any sort of real clarification is if Mitch Daniels doesn’t care that he’s torpedoed any real chance he has at the Republican presidential nomination.

To be fair to Daniels, I don’t know if that’s what happened. But it sure looks that way to me. Either way, the man has no spine.
gryphon202 on February 22, 2011 at 9:04 PM
I’d have to look into a bit more. From what I understand a huge portion of Alaska’s population are public service workers of one sort or another. I think unions are huge there and maybe given the terrain, distance and ability to monitor workers, unions are the viable answer. Most of the current governors wouldn’t be involved in this union business if it wasn’t bankrupting their states. I don’t think we are seeing profiles in courage but necessity.
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 9:05 PM
Hey, Kiddo!!
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 9:05 PM
That would be fine if he was running for Congress.
Executive level politics are quite treacherous. That’s why Governors are almost always successful, where anyone else isn’t.
Executives in government are very different than executives in business. In business, if things are messed up a CEO can just start firing people and hire better people.
In government, one has to know how to SUCCESSFULLY work with legislators, as well as constituents.
How to navigate those treacherous waters and get things done. That’s a skill set that few possess.
As we have seen with Mitt Romney, good in business does NOT=good in government.
Cain’s a good man, but being President is much more than being a good man.
He talks money, but we also have a world wide melt down. We have an energy issue. We have a multitude of incredibly complicated issues. Where does Cain even stand on any of this?
The other problem with Cain is electability. He’s comes from the reddest of red states, and couldn’t beat a RINO there. Couldn’t even make a good contest of it.
We need someone with a record of excellence in leadership, a solid grip on what the hell is going on, and what needs to be done. Someone with a long, distinguished record of REAL accomplishments.
So far Sarah Palin is the only one who fits that bill.
She’s got the proven fiscal chops.
She’s a recognized authority on energy issues, and knows EXACTLY how to move us toward energy independence.
She’s been Commander-in-Chief, has been privy to high level national security briefings, and understands the what is going on around the world.
Past that, she has balls. Something the rest of the GOP lacks completely.
We can’t trust the world to someone with ZERO experience. Especially when we have the best woman for the job ready and waiting.
gary4205 on February 22, 2011 at 9:07 PM
I truly don’t. But as I have stated here before, I don’t expect to have two Reagan’s within one lifetime. I like Liz Cheney but I don’t think she is interested in politics.
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 9:07 PM
Alaskan unions, particularly in the private sector, also seem to be heavily involved in safety enforcement and innovation. Timber cutting and oil drilling tend to be inherently dangerous occuptions.

Maybe Daniels can take some pointers from gov Palin on how to fight unions:

Dire Straits on February 22, 2011 at 9:09 PM
There’s time. Regardless of individual feelings for or against Sarah Palin, I’d encourage you and all undecided voters to find someone to pull the lever for in the primary election. Primary turnout will be a huge determining factor in 2012′s outcome, I think.

He isn’t. Unfortunately Palin has been successfully “Borked.”It will really be tough for her to overcome. That being said, she is young and could run in the future. Sorry, because I really like her.
sandee on February 22, 2011 at 6:16 PM
That’s bullsh!t. She hasn’t been “borked” by any stretch of the imagination.
The fact is, the GOP nomination is already hers, if she wants it. She will destroy Obama, so the WH is hers as well.
She was just in Long Island, New York. They usually invite Presidents to this deal. She outdrew Bill Clinton, who had spoke before.
These were mostly democrats. It was an hour long, anything goes, Q&A session moderated by a democrat. She had the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand. She was very well received.
The question is NOT whether she will be our next President, she will. The only question left is how BIG the landslide victory will be.
Your “concern” however, is noted.
gary4205 on February 22, 2011 at 6:29 PM
I love reading your “comebacks” to some of these annoying
comments! You have far more patience than I do I must say!
What is really funny is that while Palin is up in Alaska
at her man’s annual sporting event, her competition is
disintegrating. This woman doesn’t have to lift a finger.
They self implode before the repub estabs have time to shoot the “anyone but Palin” candidate of the week out of the gate. Aren’t they running out of potentials by now?
We should start a contest – Vote for who you think the next
“ABP” candidate will be! Probably Huntsman.

Well, this bill didn’t really do much fiscally. So it probably wasn’t hard to give up, but giving into the tactic seems like a mistake.
Maybe not. Maybe they’ll be so happy he let them win one that they’ll give him some votes on important issues.
We’ll see. I thought it would be nice if non-union people didn’t get docked for the fees, and it would really open things up a bit.

Pathetic argument from a pathetic person.
Alaska doesn’t have a runaway pension problem.
BTW, oil jobs are PRIVATE industry, not public.
Anyhow, much like she made the largest budget cuts in Alaska history, and not only balanced Alaska’s budget, but put billions in a rainy day fund, Sarah quietly, with little fanfare made sure the public union pensions were solvent.
You might try actually looking into her record instead of just lurking around here.

And the fire ants.
AnninCA on February 22, 2011 at 9:55 PM
Fire Ants are actually a type of wingless wasp.
I have major problems with any wasps that aren’t White Anglo Saxon Protestants or Italian motorcycles.

the mental defect is one of the main reason s why I think most of the hate towards Palin has to do with her being female.

Cindy,
How many in Libtardia would you estimate have the same opinion, as opposed to, kick them while they are down so they will remember what’s coming if they do it again!

I didn’t know that! My brother says I have to call them “fur ant” if I want to be accepted. :)
All I know is that stinkers sting and leave blisters.

From what I’ve read, the Archdiocese of Lubbock is like Chicago with all the PC/’social-justice’ garbage.

Texas is BIG. Only Sarah gets away with calling it “Alaska’s little sister”! Alaska is several times larger.
Verizon has cell service almost everywhere, but West Texas is pretty vast, and open, so …
For some reason I had you living in Austin. More hippies there than cowboys there. But the ones you see are real. (both hippies and cowboys!)

I know and I try to look at it that way but I just can’t think like that. I don’t want to be like them and I don’t want people I admire to be like them. And Republicans might as well act like them or worse since that’s what the media says anyway.
Cindy Munford on February 22, 2011 at 10:09 PM
It’s almost time for Sarah to come forward with her energy plan for America !
