Taxes are too high? Libertarians must still be pushing marijuana legalization …
Rainwater was a deeply unserious person in 2020 and after reading his campaign announcement, it’s clear he hasn’t done any more thinking.
“Hoosiers don’t need the government to run their lives. They need opportunity and a small, efficient government will create that. We need Better Government, NOT Bigger Government.””
Yeah, that’s what we are getting in Indiana these days, a government that stays our of people’s lives.
How can you say that the Indiana government is staying out of people’s lives? Indiana government is at the forefront of micro-control of people’s lives on multiple fronts, mostly in the arena of “culture war” issues. the legislature won’t stay out of Indianapolis City-County government business. Abortion bans , school choice, voting restrictions, transgender care (only 0.53% of the population is trans), don’t say gay restrictions, book banning….and the list of overreaching government intrusion and control of our lives is exhibited by the Indiana government.
On abortion specifically, according to Republican’s own poll, 63% of Hoosiers want abortion to remain under previous rules – legal in most cases with some restrictions. Yet the Republican super-majority will not put the question to the voting public in the form of a referendum, as was done in Kansas, because they know the result will not favor their legislation to ban abortions in Indiana. The will of the people? I think not!
Additionally, Indiana Republicans have gerrymandered the voting districts so severely that the Republicans have a super-majority in both chambers (70% in the House & 80% in the Senate). Yet the breakdown of registered Indiana voters is 42% Republican, 37% Democrat & 20% Independent. Tell me how this makes sense, and more importantly how this imbalance can effectively represent the will of the people in any shape or form.
It was sarcasm.
Rainwater is the preferred candidate for people who vote based on feelings, not facts.
Indiana’s Harold Stassen? (But that’s unfair to Stassen, who at least was elected governor of Minnesota before becoming a perennial candidate.)
