Mitch Daniels is running for Prez - drug history and all

The clearest sign? Pandering and fence-straddling.

Calling for a "truce" on social issues, immediately after signing into law an Indiana bill cutting off money for Planned Parenthood make the running, pandering and fence-straddling all clearer.

Now, given that federal Medicaid money is NOT fungible like Daniels and the Indiana Legislature would like, what happens if the feds cut off all Medicaid money to the state? Does Daniels adopt a Rick Perry pose? Or does Team Obama saw off the horns of the former George W. Bush director of the Office of Management and Budget for knowing better?

That said, what if Daniels, former Eli Lilly president for North America, tries to attack Obamacare? He's vulnerable, especially if many voters forget how much Obama sold out Obamacare to Big Pharma, etc.

And, speaking of pandering, the Religious Right, etc., how will Daniels' college-age possession, and presumed use, of not just marijuana but LSD, per Wikipedia, play within the GOP?

Add in the fact that he could have been charged with distribution, or intent to do so, given repeated buys from him by a narc, but that he got lucky to cop a much lower-level plea, the hypocrisy here could bite him, too.

  1. The Eli Lilly *Viva Zyprexa" scam occurred 1996-2003 so Mitch Daniels was 4 years in the thick of it.
    Eli Lilly Zyprexa can cause diabetes I took Zyprexa a powerful Lilly schizophrenic drug for 4 years it was prescribed to me off-label for post traumatic stress disorder was ineffective costly and gave me diabetes.
    Eli Lilly's #1 cash cow Zyprexa drug sale $40 billion dollars so far,has a ten times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes over the non-user of Zyprexa. So,here we have a conflict of interest that this same company also is a big profiteer of diabetes treatment.

    The Zyprexa antipsychotic drug,whose side effects can include weight gain and diabetes, was sold for "children in foster care, people who have trouble sleeping, elderly in nursing homes."
    Five at Five was the Zyprexa sales rep slogan, meaning 5mg dispensed at 5pm would keep patients quiet.
    Google * Eli Lilly Zyprexa * and read the links. I took Zyprexa it gave me diabetes and was as addictive as tobacco.How so? Because withdrawal is accompanied by severe insomnia for 6 weeks.
