What Do We Know About Pence?

Question

I don&#x27;t know much about VP Pence. I know he calls his wife "Mother" which I find creepy. I know he&#x27;s from the religious right &amp; doesn&#x27;t look kindly on the LGBT community. I found these comments below about Pence &amp; found them reasonable. What about you?Mike Pence has exhibited absolutely no behaviors that make one question his sanity. Sure, he lies, he spouts religious doctrine and says he believes it, but after all he is a politician. He adheres to his party line. He is predictable. He doesn&#x27;t say one thing in the morning and the exact opposite at night.President Pence will not suddenly learn how difficult being President is. He knows that he can&#x27;t speak only to people who are "nice" to him. He won&#x27;t be courting favors from dictators and tyrants so that he can add to his personal fortune. He would reveal his taxes. He won&#x27;t bring his wife or in-laws or children in as paid advisers.He is, as we said in Boston when I was growing up, an honest politician: once he&#x27;s bought, he stays bought.And yes, he can be trusted to deal with nations like North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Israel in a serious manner. He has a healthy ego, not a distorted image of himself as an all-powerful, always winning, never admitting wrong god who could shoot someone in Times Square without losing a voter.

Also learned something new today.To replace Mitch "the Snitch" McConnell, only GOP Senators would vote to replace. Democrats would have no say.To replace Speaker of the House Paul "Ratface" Ryan , all members of the House get to weigh in on the vote.Just thinking ahead fellow degenerates.

The last instance where a representative voted for the other party&#x27;s &#xD;&#xA;candidate was in 2000, when Democrat Jim Traficant of Ohio voted for &#xD;&#xA;Republican Dennis Hastert..  In response, the Democrats stripped him of &#xD;&#xA;his seniority and he lost all of his committee posts.Although any Member of the House can vote for any person to &#xD;&#xA;become Speaker...they can also vote for someone who is not in Congress &#xD;&#xA;at all...The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected House Representative ..Don&#x27;t forget the Speaker of the House is second in the Presidential line of succession after the VP...

Pence is an extremely conservative Christian who has legislated and governed accordingly. He rejects the fact of Evolution and says being g*a*y is a "choice." He has been a constant opponent of g*a*y rights and supported the M*slim travel ban.

He has supported the GOP plan to end the ACA, Tax cuts for the super rich are more important than health insurance for 20-25 million people. How fxcking inhumane.

I am not the only person who'd describe Pence as an "intolerant theocrat."

So if someone disagrees with you and the rest of your leftist they are intolerant? The left says if you do not agree with us on this this and that you are this ...ism or this ...ite" Pence lets his faith shape his politics as do I The Bible is very clear on homosexuality. And for the tax cuts you mentioned you are just putting a spin on it God Bless Mike Pence

Pence is the kind of guy who tries to lie to your face and does it with a smile/smirk.  Of course, he&#x27;s not good at it or I wouldn&#x27;t have pegged him like that.
