And people like you judge him for his religious views, even though he doesn't let them impact his job or his interactions with people while he does his job.
Why is your "judging" better than his?
Because my judging doesn’t say gay couples should get benefits that straight couples get. He was against gay marriage. I’ve never been against straights marrying and adopting kids.
Do you see the difference?
gay marriage is a concept that has only sprung up in the past 30 years. His religion considers homosexuality sinful. All he is doing is voting his conscience.
You can beat him at the ballot box without being bigoted towards him.
All the guy did was voice his opinion. Some might say pence is a coward for not verbally defending his position on things. Come on! If you believe what you think speak up.
If he runs in 2024 he will have to tell all. Although some of us already know.
My point is that all the guy did was voice his opinion. That’s why our judging is better than yours. Our judging doesn’t say deny you things that people not like you get.
Pence has only been a politician the last 30 years. Who cares about what was going on 31 years ago. I’m talking today.
Mike pence doesn’t have the power to push his views on us. Give him some Supreme Court picks then we will see.
Or maybe he is able to separate his political life and his personal life, something progressives can't do because they are one and the same.
"Bake that ******* cake, peasant"
No he is not schmuck.
In the run-up to President Donald Trump’s decision last month to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Vice President Mike Pence, a conservative
Christian who had long advocated for the move, did something he does only selectively: speak up.
As intelligence and diplomatic officials warned against the change, Pence made a forceful “closing argument” in favor of it at a White House Situation Room meeting, leading a group that included senior adviser Jared Kushner and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, a senior administration official said.
Pence helped persuade Trump to fulfill a campaign promise and upend long-standing U.S. policy by declaring he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, over objections from Arab nations and many Western allies.
In a year marked by chaos and infighting in Trump’s White House, Pence has been one of the most effective administration officials in advancing his own policy goals.
His behind-the-scenes influence - described in interviews with more than two dozen conservative activists, lawmakers and administration officials - adds another dimension to a man often ridiculed for his public obsequiousness to his boss.
As Pence has put his stamp on policy, he has strengthened his ties with conservative activists, donors and lawmakers - alliances that would serve him well should he decide to launch his own presidential bid in the future.
The sneaky little ******
But while he is a darling of conservative Republicans, Pence is often to the right of mainstream America on social issues like gay rights. In 2015, as governor of Indiana, he was forced to revise a state “religious liberty” law he had signed which opponents say allowed discrimination against gays.
The former congressman staunchly opposes abortion rights and passionately supports de-regulation of business and shrinking the size of government.
While heading up the presidential transition a year ago, he placed several advocates who oppose abortion rights in key positions at the Health and Human Services
department.
HHS has made several decisions that have advanced the social conservative agenda, including broadening exemptions for employers who cite religious or moral reasons for refusing to cover birth control.
Pence led the charge for reinstating the so-called Mexico City policy that requires foreign non-governmental organizations that receive U.S. funding to vow to not discuss or perform abortions. The policy expanded under the Trump administration to apply to the majority of U.S. global health assistance, which totals more than $8 billion.
For months, Pence has pushed for redirecting aid money from the United Nations to the U.S. Agency for International Development so it can be directed to Christians in the Middle East.
Earlier this month, USAID, citing Pence’s remarks, said it renegotiated the terms of an agreement so that $5 million will go to addressing the needs of “vulnerable religious and ethnic minority communities” in Iraq.
Pence has also been central to the administration’s legislative efforts, including the tax cuts passed last year. Several conservative activists said he helped generate momentum by bringing in conservative groups to get their input and support.
While you may approve of all this, we don't. And the point is he is pushing his religious views on us. YOU just dont' know it. Nor do you care.
