However, only certain connected people are allowed on it. They can step off and still collect a check one way or another from the State. Mitch Daniels is a good example.

Extraordinary similarities to the power sharing dance being done by Russian Presidents Putin and Medvedev. Because they were subject to term limits which did not permit more than two non-consecutive terms as President, President Putin stepped aside after two terms and let Medvedev assume the Presidency while Putin settled for a term as Prime Minister. Now Putin is back. And Medvedev has stepped down to become Russia’s tenth Prime Minister. This back door power sharing scheme that clearly smacked of collaboration was not without controversy with the Russian people. Medvedev&#39;s stepping aside for Putin&#39;s return was seen by many in Russia as anti-democratic and played a part in the rare protests that erupted in cities around Russia following Putin&#39;s election. Carter and Zoeller should understand that their similar dance of power sharing will not sit well with voters, who may register their dissatisfaction by voting Democrat. When a practice is so ugly that it sends people violently protesting into the streets, even in a repressive place like Russia, then that practice is pretty bad. I’ve always thought Zoeller was a fool. One ridiculous legal position after another. Probably the worst AG Indiana has ever had. But I’m surprised Carter would participate in such shenanigans. This isn’t a fiefdom Steve. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-17199669653438272542015-07-29T09:39:31.506-05:002015-07-29T09:39:31.506-05:00&quot;The purpose of government is for those who run it to plunder those who do not.&quot; Thomas DiLorenzoEric Morrisnoreply@blogger.com
