Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) said Tuesday he will back an amendment to the state's new "religious freedom" law clarifying that it does not allow businesses to deny service to anyone, and insisted that he never intended to discriminate against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

These days, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised....
It’s blackmail pure and simple. If Pence tries to enforce this law, all the liberal governors will ban flights or business with Indiana.
How is that Constitutional to force a boycott on your state for what you personally believe??
It’s not a “mistake”. The guy is quivering in fear. You know what. Scott Walker would do the same thing. I smell fear in Scott Walker also, the same fear I sensed in Pence months back when I heard him in a friendly interview on some radio show.
That didn’t take long. Since he has shown weakness, there will be nothing short of repeal that will satisfy the sodomy crowd. He should just repeal it now. His enemies smell the blood in the water.
There’s a Uniparty in this country that bows to the corporate elites, Republicans and Democrats giving them Common Core, Amnesty, Obamacare and Gay Marriage which is leading to a society that persecutes those who object.
IT WAS BIG BUSINESS INTIMIDATION THAT LED TO GOVERNOR PENCE CAVING......
The people at the grassroots don’t have a say in what 95 percent of Republican politicians do anymore.
Third Party?????????
will his legislature cave too?
I like how this worked out. One more so called conservative who was promoted beyond their competence level level shows what they’re made of. He folded like a cheap suit and it didn’t even take two days.

And even with the bill there are still not civil protections for gays based on sexual orientation which is how it is different from other states that have similar legislation.
G-d is not an opinion and G-d is not a trinket of somebody's outdated ethnoculture. G-d is G-d, and we have to begin to proclaim this publicly as well as in our homes and in our worship services.
Of course, the ultimate implication of all this is that we no longer have the luxury of subscribing to a multitude of religions based on subjective opinion or family/national traditions.
It's time for the Noachide Laws for the entire human race!
You and Ned Flanders will be sued out of business, directly.
Sodomy
Pence is so disappointing.
I have to admit that Pence was in my top tier of possibilities for 2016. No longer. Sorry, Mike. This was your moment. This was your time to show your true colors. Unfortunately, you did.
I’m officially down to Cruz, Palin, Santorum, and Jindal.
I don;t disagree with your comment.
I only wish to add that this was an orchestrated campaign to take out Pence from any 2016 consideration in any role, and it succeeded in less than five days.
Just shows how the left, the Dems, and the media conspire to Alinsky anyone they are to nail.
Textbook case.
Where can we apply for employment?
He was winning yesterday. Fell like a rock today. That was one of the quickest losses I've ever seen.
Forget Pence leading the country. Maybe he can lead the next homo parade instead.
EVEN NASCAR WIMPED OUT!
Notice how Cruz and Rubio differed on their responses
Cruz: Im proud to stand with Mike, and I urge Americans to do the same.
Rubio: Nobody is saying that it should be legal to deny someone service at a restaurant or at a hotel because of their sexual orientation. I think thats a consensus view in America The flip side is, should a photographer be punished for refusing to do a wedding that their faith teaches them is not one that is valid in the eyes of God?
you decide.......
Jan Brewer showed this same kind of cowardice on similar issues in liberal McCainland.
