Why they felt a need to pull this crap on Pence over the whole RFRA non issue is a mystery to many. But at least the RFRA blowup has shown that the Libertarian Party is especially in Indiana no longer a group of dedicated constitutionalist.

He ignores these movers and shakers at his own expense. Mike Pence was once the 4th ranking Republican in the House. He's no fool. He will determine whether he can buck the State's major corporations and still keep his job. If he has the votes he'll back the Christians and throw non-discrimination under the bus. If he's worried, he'll cross party lines and get something done. Mike Pence doesn't believe in advancing any gay protections. Period. Not on his agenda. If it happens it will be because he can't risk the downside. John Gregg is perfectly palatable as a Governor to a lot of people, and already the corporate community is moving his way. My bet is that Pence will fall in lock step with the conservatives, and it will cost him the election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-65304619077664039002015-11-05T11:05:51.066-05:002015-11-05T11:05:51.066-05:00This is funny.

We've been hearing whispers of how Pence was polling in the low 30s and or high 20s and now the actual numbers come out if anything Pence's numbers have improved since June. <br />Being at 47% is not good for any incumbent, but since John Gregg is tacking to the left on social issues ( in order to avoid a primary from the "Pence must Go" crowd) this gives Pence some maneuvering. <br />What is more we just saw Coal Country completely reject Democrats due to Obama. <br />At this point Gregg will outperform his 2012 numbers in Marion County, but he'll underperform in the Wabash R. and Ohio R. Vallies, without Which Gregg can't be Governor. <br />(Romney won that part of the State which gave him his 54% victory, Donnelly also won, and Gregg did even better then Donnelly, which is the reason the race was close) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-9473131618208283852015-11-05T09:54:17.742-05:002015-11-05T09:54:17.742-05:00good leaders make strong plausible arguments for t...good leaders make strong plausible arguments for the things they decide to do, mostly in advance of doing a given thing, and almost always get themselves on the front of the bus that's already moving.

I am not at all a Mike Pence fan; I will never vote for this establishment "R" ever again although the phony RFRA issue is not at all the reason for my distaste with Mike Pence. And that's what Freedom Indiana and the "Pence Must Go" people are all about... advancing a phony issue to push a cause. "Isolate a target and then destroy that target non-stop." Pence and his BFF Jeff Cardwell are typical establishment Republicans who do not understand how to fight extremist left of center liberal Democrats.<br /><br />The guy leading this total Saul Alinsky-style assault in Mr. Pence should first look in his own closet. What I can tell you from personal knowledge is that you will find an intolerant bigot so full of acrimony and hatred against even his own community members who do not agree with him that you might not even believe he is the same guy his persona alleges to be. He is using Mike Pence, a man who is easy, low hanging fruit- a politician so wooden and cold and without all a deep love from "the people"- to bash and thus to create what I believe is this leader's campaign of hatred to his own political advantage. There is more to this story but for now I've put forth enough.<br /><br />These left liberals are typical in that the truth does not matter at all. It is their means to an end, their ideology, their single minded "you are either with us or completely against us" mentality. It is so sad. And it hurts the overall cause. Sadder still are that people actually are following this pied piper.<br /><br />As for Jim Shella... the guy is an industry joke and has been for years. If there is anyone the failing Channel 8 should have let go... it is this hack Shella.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-72998023700731945382015-11-05T08:37:04.192-05:002015-11-05T08:37:04.192-05:00The lesbian mayor of Houston is an example of taki...The lesbian mayor of Houston is an example of taking "equality" too far for two-thirds of that city's voters, who voted to repeal their local human rights ordinance because the mayor was using it to go after the speech spoken by Christian ministers to their parishioners at church. This mayor is an embarrassment to the LGBT community, but its leaders are defending her outrageous intolerance towards the exercise of other people's free speech rights every step of the way. Gary R.

They project this hatred and assume that others hate as they do. In fact, I suspect their obsession with tolerance comes from the very fact that they themselves are not tolerant and therefore assume that nobody else is as well. Pence is simply roadkill to people who think like this.<br /><br />The great tragedy, for them if not for the rest of us, is that such hatred tends to destroy the carrier. The LGBT movement is its own worst enemy. It's like watching a train wreck unfold. Amazingly, very few of them see it. Some of my gay friends do and they are terrified. This is what happens when you place your movement in the hands of mental midgets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
