“Im wondering about Pences chances for a second term as Governor of Indiana? Hes had two major controversies and backpedals just in 2015. He had to publicly kill the ill-conceived state news site a couple months ago, and now hes stumbled in defending the RFRA law in Indiana.”
He has shown himself to be not of the right stuff. He got his opportunity, he blew it. Oh well. Next.
“Fortunately for Pence, the GOP has taken over state elected offices so extensively the dems dont have any really viable candidates at the state level. That might be the only thing that saves Pence in 16.”
He probably needs to be primaried. The worm turns eventually and it would be better for him to lose to a comservative than to a leftist.
I guess you think he did a great job.....
I think he means well but is just not very smart. Ironic that Dan Quayle was just on a news clip saying Pence didn't have a clue that the religious freedom bill would have such repercussions and now it's a firestorm.
That is the position he should have taken, and he should have repeated it over and over and over.
thanks kaehurowing- i’ll check those out- I missed it when it aired I guess
Well considering my point WAS: involved more groups (church, social, etc) to get something done....
the way to solve this... every business should accept any customer, from all walks of life... BUT, the business should make it publicly known that any profits from work they provide to select individuals or groups will be donated to political action committees that rally for the business’ beliefs.
In other words, take the business and money from the gay/lesbian customer, but let them know the profits will go to groups in support of the defense of marriage.
The problem will take care of itself.
and the Republican establishment is in the process of saying “me too”.
I have a business of my own and haven't run into that problem as yet, but that would differently take care of any future problems....
“he should have turned the tables on them. This law is to protect people from being forced to commit acts or participate in events they find morally objectionable.”
That’s the crux of the issue. And by waffling Pence failed to come to the defense of the targets of the Gaystapo.
The GOP establishment wants to have it both ways. They want social conservative Christian votes but they also want to be on good terms with sodomy culture. Not a surprise considering how comfortable the GOPe has been with the likes of David Dreier in leadership.
