Governor Mike Pence, a christian, conservative, Repealican, has his popularity numbers in the sewer and is facing a challenge from Democrat John Gregg who he barely beat in the last general election.
And, he may even face a Republican challenger in a primary a year from now. Pence was once the GOP's rising star until be revealed himself to America as a homophobic bigot by surronding himself (in secret) with other homophobes when he sign the most discrimatory anti gay legislation in the country. The backlash was tremendous and the GOP controlled legislature was forced to issue another bill to try and but a squelch on the outrage. That didn't work worth a shit and now the GOP is blaming it all on Pence but still trying to figure out a way to pander to their far right evangelical christian base and keep from losing seats this next election.
It ain't gonna work...

Lets see if this hurt him or not. I hope so, but the right will rally behind some of this nonsense sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNo, Pence and the Republican General Assembly have a serious problem with this issue. While they wish to pander to their evangelical christian base; they have an election coming in in eighteen months. I look for a statewide bill against discrimination against the LGBT group to move through the legislature and end up on Pence's desk where he has three options: Sign it, Veto it, or let it become law without his signature. Look for the third of the three to occur. He is desperate to salvage his political future but can't as he has become branded as a religious bigot homophobe.
DeleteJohn Greer barely lost the election to Pence last time and will unseat the asshole in 2016 with my vote...
