Indiana Governor in Israel, Refuses Abbas Invitation to Dinner
Breitbart ^ | 27 Dec 2014 | Paul Miller

Posted on 12/27/2014 5:35:14 PM PST by Ooh-Ah

Republican Indiana Governor Mike Pence spent Christmas with his family in Israel, part of a nine-day trip that includes a three-day jobs mission to meet with government and business leaders to discuss expanding economic ties between Indiana and the Jewish State.

According to a Facebook post by Caroline Glick, senior contributing editor of The Jerusalem Post:

As a visiting dignitary, Pence and his family were invited to PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas’s annual Christmas dinner, where he was notified that a car would be sent to fetch him to Abbas’s office for an unscheduled and unsolicited meeting at 10:45pm.

Governor Pence in his inimitable wisdom, politely and firmly declined the summons.

Pence’s support for Israel is not new.

During his tenure as congressman, representing Indiana’s 2nd and 6th Districts, Pence was regarded as one of Israel’s staunchest supporters.

“His support for Israel and the safety and security of her people is genuine, not politically motivated in the least,” said Protect Our Heritage PAC Co-Chair, Peggy Shapiro. “I have always been impressed with his knowledge of the region and the threats against Israel’s existence. He is a truly genuine friend of the Jewish people.”

He should have told him to pound sand.

He did by turning him down.

I thought I saw Mike Pence at a Christmas Eve Mass in Bethlehem at St. Catherine's. I guess I'm not crazy. :)

Precisely.

Every single Conservative should make it their life mission to make one liberal howl every day.

Consider it our little way of “Giving something BACK” and “making a difference”...

“Either way, they’ve no business in any positions of power or authority.”

In my lifetime that would be The Clintons, et al, ANY Kennedy, Jane Fonda and John McCain.

WHY are these people not called to task? I’ll never understand it.

There is very little accountability left nowadays generally in society. And less personal responsiblity - it’s bith reflected in many politicos and promoted by same back into society. Too many people want expect and demand free rides or others to pay for their failures. The D “welfare base” and the Obama $17 trillion debt and the GOP-e USCofC lobbyists and and and a number of additional groups could be mentioned. I don’t have a particularly sanguine view where this pandemic irresponsibility will lead us, if not somehow checked soon

I would think that a last-minute thing like that could be a serious security risk for the governor. I would bet his own security team nixed the idea!

Mike Pence would certainly make an acceptable President.

PLO. Mahmoud Abbas. "Christmas Dinner." Right.

Governor Pence proved he ain't no fish-eyed fool!

I don’t know much about Pence but I like what I hear. He’s big on taking power away from our central government and giving it back to the states. That’s about the only way this nation is going to make it.

The rest of the field are Lilliputians.

IMHO we need to focus on Walker, Pence and Cruz and that is in no particular order. Two of the three on the ticket is manna from heaven.

Pence's quotient of gravitas went up in my book with this one.

IMHO with this move, he is running...
