quade 3 #2 July 14, 2016 "..., says (unnamed) source." As with any politician, actions speak louder than words. If you want to research Mike Pence, you might want to see how he votes on issues. http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/34024/mike-pence#.V4fHYFca2FU Ratings by various lobbying groups; http://votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/34024/mike-pence#.V4fNslca2FUquade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 644 #3 July 14, 2016 He hates President Obama and LGBTQ. He passed a law supporting discrimination. His attempt at a government news organization reeked of Communist control of media. He's repeatedly tried to block the resettling of immigrants in his state. He's a perfect fit for the party of hate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruelpops 0 #6 July 14, 2016 Ya, he's a bad guy because he tries to control the media unlike our current POTUS. Oh wait... never mind. "So how is it that 38 major journalistic organizations have signed on to a letter to the White House complaining about the way the Administration has twisted and manipulated the news?" http://godfatherpolitics.com/news-media-white-house-stop-manipulating-us/ And how dare that Pence guy not want to permit Middle Eastern refugees in his state when they weren't vetted by the State Department, Homeland Security or ICE.

normiss 644 #7 July 14, 2016 It's laughable when a judge has to tell a Governor how to do his job. They were vetted by the way. Why does Pence hate the constitution of his own country? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,476 #16 July 14, 2016 >I could have sworn we were discussing Gov. Pence. To get back to that, comment on this from the White House spokesperson after being asked about it: "I know that Gov. Pence did do some important work with the administration to expand Medicaid in his state. That’s something President Obama has been encouraging Democratic and Republican governors across the country to do." When asked if he thought Pence would make a good VP, he said he would "leave it to the individual candidates to determine who they believe would best complement their skills and could lead their party."
