Mike Pence’s Chicago Ties: His Irish Grandfather Settled On South Side
CBS 2 CHICAGO ^ | 15 JULY 2016 | CRAIG DELLIMORE

Posted on 07/15/2016 4:59:30 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

(CBS) – Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was raised in the Hoosier state, but he says he has a strong, personal connection to Chicago.

WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports from the Loop.

Pence says his grandfather emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in 1923 and came to Chicago, where he drove a bus for 40 years.

In a speech to the City Club of Chicago in December 2014, he said his parents grew up on the South Side.

He will help Trump make AMERICA great again too

The fiasco with LGBT was actually a misstep by our state legislature.
Because Pence is a leader he stood up and basically kept it out of the judicial system. Think how Row vs Wade made it to the SCOTUS and is now settled case law. Our AG and other legal experts realized it was doomed for failure. So he took the fall. Never blaming the legislature who actually screwed it up
A stronger case with a more conservative court will right the wrong later

I think the two states often work together
They have joined on more than one lawsuit.
They also have similar attitudes toward industry so employment rates are similar

It is amazing how many FR members do not seem to know any recent history ... Pence carried the ball for the inane GW Bush Amnesty plan — Step out and Step back in ... Pence sponsored it ... worked for it... How can Trump promote Anti-Amnesty when his VP is Pro Amnesty ... total idiocy ...

No he didn’t Do some research. He opposed the Bush amnesty presented a straw amendment to make sure it would fail
His plan included
1 was secure the border
2 send all illegals back to Mexico (come back in if they qualified legally)
3 stop funding medical expenses for illegals
4 no more anchor babies

"Audrey is Audrey...."

Yep, that she is.

A self-described "political independent" and a "social liberal", Mike Pence's youngest daughter, Audrey, age 21, is majoring in "international affairs" in Northeastern University, is into Arabic, votes a split ticket, and, of course, wants to get "into Journalism".

Don't they all?

(...reminds me of the defiant ideology of the Reagan ballet son).

The idiocy of the Pence Amnesty Ploy... Mike Pence proposed an Amnesty Sell Out that would have required the illegal aliens to just Step out of the U.S. and then immediately Step back into the U.S. Out new VP ... What a fricken disappointment ...

http://www.vdare.com/articles/hey-mike-pence-amnesty-is-the-absence-of-punishment-not-the-presence-of-reward

Our attention must now turn to the Pence Ploy—the alleged “compromise” miraculously proposed at the last minute by Congressman Mike Pence and widely whooped-up as a way of outflanking immigration patriots in the House.

http://www.vdare.com/articles/congressman-mike-pence-and-the-amnesty-lobby

Two days before the United States Senate passed S.2611, Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) delivered a speech on immigration policy at the Heritage Foundation. Pence offered what he called a “middle ground” proposal, a “no amnesty immigration reform” in which “securing our border is the first step.” [Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform, May 23, 2006]

The timing of Pence`s speech and his position as chairman of the House Republican Study Committee combined to get his proposal the maximum media attention. So, what is the “middle ground” Pence wants to occupy?

Pence is / would be a idiotic disappointment ... Pence is a budding Republican Establishment minion... Pence is PRO AMNESTY... Pence is a nobody ... Pence is a flip flopper has been who never was...

That’s right. Under Gov. Pence, Indiana has a balanced budget. We even have reserves.
Pence reduced our debt by 11.6 million and no new debt.
We have added over 100,000 private sector jobs since he took office and Indiana is ranked #1 in the Midwest for doing business.
He’s not flashy, but we’ve had 8 years of “flash”.
