Say what?????

.... keep in mind Governor Daniels is a Republican (at least on paper) - I'll save my comments for the bottom!

People need to get over Reagan, already !!

(Gov Mitch Daniels)
April 21, 2008

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels elicited several hushed gasps and raised eyebrows late last week as he lectured a conservative crowd that it was “time to let Ronald Reagan go.”

The governor delivered his remarks to a room full of fellow red-staters at the Fund for American Studies’ annual conference and donor retreat at the Newseum.“Nostalgia is fine and Reagan’s economic plan was good,” Daniels said. “But we need to look towards the future rather than staying in the past.” Daniels added that the GOP needed to work on uniting behind Sen. John McCain instead of constantly comparing the Arizona senator with the Gipper.

While he prefaced his remarks with the disclaimer that his thoughts were “somewhat controversial,” he hoped that he “would not be misunderstood.”

Incidentally, applause was somewhat less enthusiastic as he left the stage than when he began by poking fun at Barack Obama.

Here is a question Pardner's: When was the last time you heard a prominent elected Democrat stand up in front of their party faithful and tell them that it is time "to get over FDR, let JFK go, put LBJ behind them!" He'd be run out of town on a rail! (I guess he'd get away with Jimmy and Bubba)

Daniels' remarks may not be pegged as "Insanity of the Year" but it sure does qualify for "Inanity of the Decade"! What an absolutely RINO inspired statement for a sitting governor to make. What he means is; "Strive for Mediocrity" or "Don't try to Achieve, just settle for less"!
