Do you trust your governor?

[John F Kennedy III]

Is your governor liberty minded? Is he big government? socialist? neocon? Is he advancing freedom or restricting it?

I am working on a list of Governors we can trust (it may end up being zero). I need some more help. If your governor is on this list please tell me why we should or shouldn't trust him.

Here is the current list:

(By the way, can you spot the trend?)

Robert J. Bentley (R-Ala)
Butch Otter (R-ID)
Jack Dalrymple (R-ND)
Dennis Daugaard (R-SD)
Matt Mead (R-WY)

[emazur]

He's not my governor, but concerning Mitch Daniels:



However, what ultimately dooms Daniels is not his height, his hair, his history or his geographic location. It's not even his suspected distaste for issues dear to the hearts of social conservatives sparked by his talk of a "truce" on them. What has rendered him unelectable, and possibly unfit for the governor's office he now holds, is a recent decision by the Indiana Supreme Court, with the majority opinion written by Daniels's sole nominee.

"Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.

"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest."

– Court: No right to resist illegal cop entry into home, May 13, 2011

This horrific decision by the Indiana judges means that Americans, or at least Americans who happen to be living in Indiana, have fewer rights than medieval Englishmen. The decision isn't merely incorrect, it is a grotesque insult to the Fourth Amendment, to the United States Constitution, to the American Revolution, indeed, to the very concept of America itself. America is not a police state, and it is a travesty to claim that a nation born in violence against the legally constituted authorities does not have a right to resist them in their own homes.

And Daniels has thus far remained silent on the issue, when anything short of an abject apology for David's appointment combined with a demand for David's immediate resignation, and the resignation of the other two judges who sided with David, is absolutely necessary for him to remain a credible governor, let alone a president. And even if he does do as he must, the Indiana court decision raises serious questions about what sort of appointments Daniels would make in the unlikely event he were to find himself in the White House.

Ron Paul aside, the present slate of potential Republican candidates is an insipid and uninspiring collection of political hacks. But unless he acts swiftly to end his judicial appointee's attack on both the U.S. Constitution and the common law, Daniels will have demonstrated himself to be easily the worst of a bad lot.

Mitch Daniels is my govenor. Some Famous LP guy might be running for governor (survivor). I'm split between LP guy and Mr. Wallace. I am definitely not voting for Pence.

[CaptainAmerica]

HELL no. My governor is a fascist. Jan Brewer of Arizona along with senator Pierce rammed SB1070 through the legislature and passed it into law for private prison lobbyists. She claims state rights to strip americans of the 1st ,4th,5th and 6 amendment and then she decides that we don't have the state right to make marijuana legal so she called in the federal government to strip us of medical marijuana.

[anaconda]

Jerry Brown signed legislation recently to give financial aid to students who are illegal immigrants. Shall we keep him off the list for now?

[BamaAla]

Trust is an interesting word. I believe I can trust Robert Bentley as he seems to be a stand up person; I just disagree with him on a plethora of issues.

[kuckfeynes]

Tom Corbett? I mean sure, he's a heck of a lot better than Fast Eddie Rendell, but "trust" is a strong word. Sure, he's fiscally going in the right direction, cutting taxes, cutting spending. But that alone does not make a friend of liberty. He's still got all the typical Republican faults... pro-drug war, pro-regulation, pro-EPA, pro-gov't defining marriage, pro-picking winners and losers, etc, etc.

His tax cuts are primarily corporate tax cuts for the Marcellus Shale industry who practically financed his campaign. Which would be all well and good for business, except that as usual the regulators are insiders raising the barrier for entry and allowing the big players to get away with rampant pollution of streams and groundwater with neigh a slap on the wrist.

One of the first things he did in office was try to subpoena the identities of some of his critics during the campaign from Twitter, without even citing a crime.

So yeah... Do I prefer him over the spend-happy Democrat he replaced or "Big Brother" Ridge or RINO Casey? Of course. He's probably the best governor PA has had in decades (which is not saying much). Do I trust him to do what he says he'll do? Yes. Would I take him over nearly anyone else? Yes. But do I trust him in terms of advancing the cause of liberty? Hell no.

Bill Haslam (R-TN)

He just came out with a big press conference and announced how he is holding Amazon and not customers responsible for paying the sales taxes in TN. From a practical point of view, that means 8.75% to 9.75% higher prices for products from Amazon.com. So HELL no, I don't respect him. He isn't about advancing freedom at all. Plus, a bunch of anti-liberty bills because law in TN this year that he could have vetoed.

Jay Nixon.

What are your concerns? I honestly haven't followed Nixon closely enough to say I don't like him...whereas I know I despise Claire McCaskill (and even Roy Blunt at times).


“Unlike the folks in Washington, D.C., we balance our budget in Missouri,” Nixon said. The Missouri Constitution mandates that lawmakers enact a balanced budget every year.

We have kick-ass Castle Doctrine Laws as well as Conceal Carry Laws.

Missouri feels like America whereas our neighbor, Illinois, feels like Nazi Germany. Actually, Illinois has tougher gun laws than Nazi Germany did. lol

The best governors in my estimation are Walker, Parnell, Sandoval, and Haley.

[guitarlifter]

Count Kasich out of Ohio for trusted governor.

[BamaAla]

Such as?

He talks a good game on fiscal issues and the Tenth Amendment, but he talks an equally disturbing game on anything to do with personal freedom. Also, he used Alabama's premier socialist group (AEA) to get elected and is awfully cozy with them.

He's not the worst on your list (Haley Barbour...trust...whoa,) but we could have probably done better.

Scott Walker is my governor, I dunno if I'd trust him but he's done some good things. Certainly better than Doyle was or Barrett would of been.

Walker is fiscally conservative, but I would like to know where he stands in relation to drugs and Big Dairy. Wisconsin is home to some of the largest drug research centers in the US (big Pharma) and also Big Ag, particularly dairy. The raw milk bill that Doyle vetoed has not come back up yet, and Walker has hinted that although he would pass it, he put conditions on it (safety, etc.) Judges in Wisconsin have basically ruled that private citizens do not have a right to enter into private contracts with farmers to raise their food. Where does Walker stand on this? What about Big Pharma issues, like the overuse of psychiatric drugs being pushed among the elderly in nursing homes and in schools with kids labeled ADD? How about mandatory vaccines? Jerry Brown of California just signed a bill allowing doctors and schools to bypass parents and vaccinate 12 year old girls with the Gardasil vaccine. What are Walker's vaccine views?

My home state has Scott Walker. I haven't that many bad things about him. He seems conservative enough. He cut some spending. I don't think he's lowered any taxes on the people. I live in Virginia now so Bob McDonnell is okay. I guess he's fairly moderate. He apparently has a decent favorability rating which means little anyways.

Well I just found this, and it doesn't look good. Smells of cronyism. The seed company is not organic, so probably tied in to GMO giants like Monsanto (but I don't know that for sure). The other guy has a vaccine start up company. Staying clean from Big Ag, Big Dairy, and Big Pharma is pretty difficult in Wisconsin politics.

-------------------

Madison – Governor Scott Walker named Raymond Dreger, Corey Hoze, and Paul Radspinner to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Executive Board today.

“Raymond, Corey, and Paul are exceptionally qualified to serve Wisconsin on the WEDC board and they bring different skill sets that will add even more diversity and experience to this important new public-private partnership,” Governor Walker said. “The WEDC will play an important role in allowing the private sector to create 250,000 jobs by 2015, and these members will strengthen this board on the road toward achieving that goal.”

Raymond Dreger brings a strong and diverse background in private sector agriculture and business experience to the WEDC board. He owns and operates a 400-acre crop farm in Chippewa and Dunn Counties and a seed and supply farm market in Colfax, Dunn County. In addition to these ventures, Mr. Dreger has over 20 years of farm management experience when he owned and operated PNR Dairy Farms, and over 12 years of corporate management experience with Shell and Mobil Oil Corporations. Mr. Dreger earned his Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota in Agronomy and Plant Genetics.

Corey Hoze will provide both private and government sector experience to the WEDC Board. Hoze is currently Senior Vice President at Associated Banc-Corp. He previously held Health and Human Services positions in Milwaukee County and for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hoze also has experience working as the administrator of the economic development division of the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, and served in management positions at Miller Brewing Company. He has degrees in economics and religion from Pepperdine University.

Paul Radspinner is a pharmaceutical and medical research business professional and entrepreneur who is currently the president and chief executive officer of FluGen, Inc., a influenza vaccine start-up company that staffs world-renowned researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Mr. Radspinner has also served Deltanoid Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as its vice president of business development from 2005-2007, and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation from 2000-2004.

My Governor is basically Barack Obama (Deval Patrick), so no, no I do not trust my governor.

[mortepa]

Walker is great for balancing our state's budget at all cost. However, I don't "trust" him much at all. I feel he is partially bought and paid for. Granted, there are FAR worse governors out there...so I should be somewhat thankful for that at least. My trust rating for him is about 7 out of 10.

- He refused to sign a "constitutional" concealed carry bill. He made training and permitting be a requirement before he would sign.

- He passed microbrew regulations, restricting distribution of beer, one of Wisconsin's honored traditions. This restriction hurts the huge microbrew industry in Wisconsin, while benefitting the large brewers like Miller/Coors. Guess who donated thousands to his campaign?

- He is likely to voluntarily submit Wisconsin to Obamacare this coming week. This will be a travesty. Bill AB 210

- Instead of cutting state agencies where needed, he basically balanced the budget on the backs of the public workers. I am happy that he removed the public collective bargaining, but he is punishing the public workers unnecessarily when he should be cutting/slimming down the agencies from the state level. The reason he did it his way is because he can simply defund the local communities, and leave it up to them to fire or cut benefits, etc...
