President 2012 Video: Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels Responds to Social Issues “Truce” and Defense Cuts Critics

The entire interview will air next Monday and we have heard Daniel’s before explain his rationale.

“If you don’t believe that the American republic is mortally threatened, as I do, by this one overriding problem we have built for ourselves [the debt], then of course I’m wrong.

But if that is the case, then all I was really saying was: I don’t want to lose one person — you keep talking about how hard it’s going to be, and it is — to make the kind of changes that will restore America’s greatness, and all I was saying was [that] we’re going to need to unify all kinds of people, and freedom is going to need every friend it can get.”

But, it appears that Mitch is going on the offense now and there really is only one reason to do so.
