Pence and The Revolution: Five reasons he might be the 2016 dark horse to watch

Go here for more information on Pence’s immigration record:

http://www.ontheissues.org/Governor/Mike_Pence_Immigration.htm

Here are the highlights:

Pence -

Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border.

Voted YES on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment.

Rated 100% by FAIR, indicating a voting record restricting immigration

Rated 92% by USBC, indicating a sealed-border stance

Signed on to amendment of immigration bill to End Birthright Citizenship; no more anchor babies.

Co-sponsored bill declaring English as the official language of the US

As a Florida Resident for over 30 years, I can tell you from living experience that Marco Rubio NEVER had an immigration record like that.

So no, he’s not Rubio/Ryan. Can he flip? That is what we always have to watch for. But everything I’ve seen from Mike Pence says he is a straight shooter. He won’t say one thing one day, then change it the next depending on who he’s addressing. He is a conservative.

And all of that wouldn’t make a bit of difference if he had got the amnesty bill that he introduced to and sponsored in Congress passed in 2006.

He was for putting them all onto a path to citizenship as long as they made one quick trip home to sign a piece of paper.

This country would already be done for if he had got that through—and it will be done if something even half as generous slips through either before or after the 2016 presidential election.

more charismatic than Scott Walker, more conservative than Chris Christie

Does the author secretly hate Pence, or why is he using such faint praise? Why not add that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is more patriotic than Barack Obama, more pro-life than Dr. Kermit Gosnell, and more fiscally responsible than Nancy Pelosi?

Id be suspicious of any statewide Republican in that state regardless.

Coats said he would support amnesty if there was more security. Lugar got re-elected by the same people over and over. Pence could be amnesty lite and none of these primary voters would seem to notice.
