[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Notre Dame for undergrad. No. In fact one of the things I liked most about it was that it's very politically diverse. Like, a 50/50 split which is pretty rare at colleges these days. I liked being in an environment where there really was people on all along the political spectrum not just "liberal" to "practically communist."

And then I went to Yale for law school and yeah...that one's gone a little far. No money to them. [/quote]

I really respect the way some ND students walked out at graduation[/b]. They got to protest his policies, but let other students and their families appreciate the special day. Back in the day I saw it as a conservative school, but now I would encourage my children to attend. [/quote]

It was rude and disrespectful.  [b]If you are going to do that, just don't go at all.[/b]  Or do like the rest of us do, sit through interminable boring lefty speeches with a polite look on our faces.  I know a number of ND families thought that move to be just too pointed and rude and I agree.[/quote]

Thank you.

What Pence got at ND was totally in line with the disrespect he's shown the nation and humanity. [/quote]

Oh grow the f up. Vice President Pence is a fine man. You are an irrational person who can't deal with the fact that Hillary lost. GTFU. [/quote]

Are you serous?! Pence is a fine man? Really? He is an[b] ignorant, creepy, heartless and sadistic[/b] jesus freak. That is all he is. [/quote]

His opposition to abortion is a virtual obsession: He pushed Indiana’s new law, stayed by a federal judge, which bans abortion for disabled fetuses and requires women who’ve had abortions or miscarriages, no matter how early, to arrange for either burial or cremation of the remains.

Pence co-sponsored Todd Akin’s infamous anti-abortion bill that would have redefined rape as “forcible rape.” (It would have allowed hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women who would die without the care — and the only exception would have been cases of “forcible” rape.)

In a letter to the editor of Indianapolis Star, Pence argued that households with two working parents are under a spell of "the big lie that 'Mom doesn't matter.'" This expert asserted that having both parents work would lead to “stunted emotional growth” in their children.

As governor, Pence signed a contract to take $3.5 million from the state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides aid to low-income families, and gave it to the Pennsylvania-based anti-abortion group “Real Alternatives,” that lies to women to “actively promote childbirth instead of abortion.” The contract is clear: It says reps from the anti-abortion group should spread its message to pregnancy centers, as well as adoption and social services agencies, "so more women can be served and fewer abortions chosen."

Pence was an up-and-coming politico who accepted campaign donations from big tobacco. He also wrote a short, incendiary op-ed titled "The Great American Smoke Out," which insisted that "smoking doesn't kill," while conceding that it is "not good for you." Here's the key excerpt: "Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer."

In 2002 Pence said that “...condoms are a very, very poor protection against sexually transmitted diseases,” and using condoms as a solution to STDs was “too modern.”

As governor, Pence signed a law to legalize discrimination against LGBTQ people: The “religious freedom” law gave businesses the green light to discriminate against LGBTQ people on religious grounds. The law was criticized around the country: High-profile groups withdrew events from the state in protest, and businesses like Apple and Marriott condemned the law. Pence “revised” the law, but the controversy still cost the state at least $60 million.

In 2011, he led the fight to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood, and as governor he cut Planned Parenthood funding in half from 2005 levels; that resulted in the closing of five non-abortion clinics that provided STD testing, and that helped fuel a rise in HIV infections so staggering it required federal intervention.

Np. I’m in full support of all of this. Still waiting for your claims that he pence is ignorant or evil or whatever else you said, just because he doesn’t agree with little you.

By the way, Hillary lost!!![/quote]
