Donald Trump has “doubled down” on “his most disturbing beliefs” by picking Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate, said Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.In a statement, Podesta called Pence the “most extreme” vice presidential pick in a generation.
According to the statement, Podesta said that Pence: was an early supporter of the Tea Party; “personally spearheaded” a religious liberty bill that “legalized discrimination” against gays and lesbians (which he later revised); and he was a leader in the effort to defund Planned Parenthood as a member of the U.S. House.

Yea, all of that radical stuff like balanced budgets, running surpluses and banking it, more jobs for their people, sold infrastructure, more spending on education, lower taxes on people and business. That is the democrats idea of radical for sure. They do just about the opposite every chance they get.

Scuse me? That list was all over the place. Balanced budget requires at least two things: Eliminate SS/MC and increase taxes. Surplus banking? We had a surplus, then someone we both know started two and a half wars without funding them. Infrastructure? BHO tried to do as part of the economic stimulus to fix the Great recession, but it was voted down. Spending on education? I thought your leadership wanted to STOP federal support for education.

Yes, I also understood that it was what Pence already accomplished as Governor of Indiana and if He can bring those same skills to Washington that seem to something good. As to the Federal Government to mismanagement and budget problems, that has been going on for decades, they didn't all just start with the sitting President ! Also the prior sitting Presidents also doubled the Federal deficit as did President Obama. It nothing new but it still gets worse. Somewhere this has be stopped and put under control !

That is putting it Mildly. This Man "Pence" has a record of Legislation against the LGBT Community and Women's Rights. I Shared a lot of the Crap he did on my Twitter, Pinterest and FB Pages. He is a Far Right Winger. I guess if you want to jump off the edge, Why Not.

Every Democrat that claims Pence authored an LGBT discrimination bill is a bold faced liar and to believe he legalized discrimination just shows ignorance to umpteenth degree.

"The original Religious Freedom Restoration Act came under fire nationally, with critics contending that it could allow businesses to refuse to serve gay and lesbian patrons. Under scrutiny, Pence asked that the language of the bill be clarified, and lawmakers unveiled new language on Thursday morning that explicitly stated that no “provider…may deny service to anyone on basis of sexual orientation, race, religion or disability.”
In signing the revised bill, which was approved by the legislature on Thursday, Pence continued to argue that there had been a misunderstanding about the bill’s intent."

Taking the high road, now, Republicans? Don't forget Nixon lied big time about Watergate and conducted a secret war, too. Don't forget Reagan lied by illegally and secretly selling thousands of anti-tank weapons to Iran for the purpose of funding death squads in Nicaragua. Bush set up an elaborate system to sell lies about WMDs and Saddam hosting terrorists so he could invade Iraq. Now Trump...have you ever fact-checked Trump? Sometimes he tells 9 lies in a minute! And now you're pointing fingers!?
