Pence is full handicap. As in, more full handicap than his partner in politics, I didn't even think that was possible to be honest. I'd be amazed if his performance isn't even worse. Clinton's pick is by and far a moderate Democrat. I don't see this going well for him.
"In 2000, Pence stated "Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homoloveuals as a 'discrete and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities."[106] He called for "an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus"
and instead advocated for resources to be directed toward conversion therapy programs, "[for] those seeking to change their loveual behavior.""
"Pence opposes both same-love marriage and civil unions.[117] While in the House, he said that "
societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family".[118]
He has advocated a constitutional same-love marriage ban but did not champion such a proposed ban for his first year as governor.[119]"
And no, these views have not changed.
"In 2002, Pence criticized a speech by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell where Powell stated that it was "important for young people... to protect themselves from the possibility of acquiring any loveually transmitted disease" through the use of condoms.[99][100]
Pence called Powell's comments a "sad day" and expressed his support for abstinence education.[99][100]
Pence asserted that "condoms are a very, very poor protection against loveually transmitted diseases" and that Powell was "maybe inadvertently misleading millions of young people and endangering lives".[99][100]"
"In a 2002 statement on the floor of the House (reported in the Congressional Record), Pence told his colleagues "... I also believe that someday scientists will come to see that
only the theory of intelligent design provides even a remotely rational explanation for the known universe."[95]"
In other words, he thinks evolution isn't real. The most well-accepted scientific
fact ever.
"
Pence supported the USA Patriot Act on its passage in 2001,[90] and in 2005 called the act "essential to our continued success in the war on terror here at home.""
So he's in favor of Orwellian government as well, how pleasant!
He also supported the iraq war, like his colleague Donald: "
Pence supported the Iraq War Resolution, which authorized military action against Iraq."
"While in the House, Pence "
voted to eliminate funding for climate education programs and to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions."[64] Pence also "repeatedly voted against energy efficiency and renewable energy funding and rules" and voted "for several bills that supported fossil fuel development, including legislation promoting offshore drilling.""
"In 2001, Pence wrote in an op-ed that "
Global warming is a myth,"[66] saying that "the earth is actually cooler today than it was about 50 years ago""
He only recently admitted "Yeah, I guess I was incredibly stupid to say that global warming is a myth." Except he didn't say he was stupid at all and then went on to support Donald's plan to completely eliminate any effort to reduce emissions that are currently in play.
