BS; by that reasoning Reagan was a socialist based on the amnesty he gave illegals while president...
how his (Pence) record on gun rights and a host of other conservative issues???
Well... that eliminates the last of the possiblities for me, except possibly for Scott Walker.
Not that it’s going to matter in 2016 anyway.
good on guns...he has sold out nearly every other issue...health care, housing, taxes, spending,LIFE, traditional moral values, creationism,immigration...etc.etc
everything Pence did “conservative” from 2000-2006, he has since REVERSED
no Reagan was stupid on that issue ,not socialist...Pence is socialist as he is expanding government with programs and central planning that is contra to what he ran on.
I withdraw my earlier comment.

Pence inconsistent on abortion position
INDIANAPOLIS – In denouncing U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s comments on rape and abortion Wednesday, GOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence opened himself up for criticism on his own position.
The Pence campaign claimed he has consistently supported exceptions for abortions in the cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in danger.
But a question on Indiana Right to Life’s 2012 voters’ guide survey asked statewide candidates in which circumstances they believe abortion should be legal.
Pence checked B – or life of the mother only.
His campaign was asked by The Journal Gazette via email and phone Wednesday to address the contradiction contained in the survey, but the campaign declined repeated requests.
Instead, Pence spokeswoman Christy Denault would say only that he authored a bill in Congress that includes exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.
“Mike will continue to support these exceptions should he become governor,” she said.
Later in the day, a copy of the 2010 Indiana Right to Life survey was posted on a social media site. That version showed Pence marked A – that abortion should never be legal.

again Pence has not sold out on guns...just almost every other issue...Pence has taken conservative positions in the past but he has recently reversed them..Amnesty for Pence is nothing new...he has been advocating for it since 2006....
Health care socialism is new as the article covers...
So the Federalist, it launching this against Pence, must have another candidate in mind.
no.I doubt it. IT is A BIG deal when the most conservative politician becomes a liberal virtually across the board...google pence and amnesty
What source shows Pence supports amnesty? The date that I posted says otherwise.
These guys are likely being recruited to “stage” a campaign by “the party”, to divide and conquer as in the 2008 pattern.
This pattern will then be followed up with the Mississippi treatment aimed squarely at the conservative survivor of said pattern.
I just did... Here’s what he said:
“The only way to deal with these twelve million people is to insist that they leave the country and come back legally if they have a job awaiting them.”
How exactly is that “amnesty?”
But then again... the Republican side of the 2016 campaign is going to be an afterthought anyway.

Hey Mike Pence! Amnesty Is The Absence Of Punishment—Not The Presence of Reward!

Mike Pence amnesty lite
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1660779/posts
confusing? Pence,Paul Ryan, Boehner,Cantor,etc are pro liars...it is what they do...you have to stay sharp..
his plan was an unworkable “touchback” where they would briefly go home and pick up there green card and come back permanently. NOT ONLY THAT but all of latin America would be eligible with immigration levels determined by employers...so legal status to those here illegally plus millions more on the way...
I’m seeing those, but just about every other candidate has a similar “solution,” save for Ted Cruz.
Well you would think that Republicans would be smart enough to not go there after the way Reagan was double crossed on amnesty.
Guess not.
You don't like Pence because he's too opposed to abortion?
Pence is now pro choice...he supports exceptions for rape and incest...Pence threw murdoch and the pro life movement over board as soon as things got a little tough
