Chris me boyo…you really have impeccable timing…like really awful timing.

Republican politicians, by and large, almost all of them, and ALL of them wanting to run for president: they ALL just don’t “get it”, do they?

“I just don’t believe any of this stuff is true and to the extent that something needs to be fixed to clarify that no one will be denied service for discriminatory reasons, I’m sure that’s exactly what Mike will do,” the statement continued.

Translation: I don’t see what everyone is upset about. Everyone should have known that this was a cheap political stunt designed to curry favor and pander to the religious right. Mike had no idea this would blow up like a methane gas-fueled sewer explosion. I mean, I didn’t either. Mike and his minions will fix it by making it exactly like the 10-year old Federal version and then it will just be a piece of redundant legislation. No harm.

Geez, it’s not like he closed down several lanes on the JFK Memorial bridge connecting Louisville and Jefferson, Indiana. Now that would have been very wrong.

I’ll say!!

Gov.Crisco lies more than Pence! 30 Legal minds told Pence how bad this was going to be if he signed it. Pence knew exactly that this was discriminatory! He is lying out his a**!

Gov. Fatso also gave Pence all kinds of advice on bridges.

got nothing but love in his heart

Horseshit
Is waiting 3+ news cycles really defending?
The tiny violin’s sound is absorbed by neck fat.

Problem for R’s: The are using the 2004 Anti-Gay Playbook in a 2015 game.

Christie’s statement about Pence that “he’s got nothing but love in his heart for people” is a damned laff riot! With Pence’s history and behavior, it’s also patently untrue!

In a related story, Chirstie is devasted at the news of a pizza shop closing its doors.

How’s that bridge problem going? Maybe you should get your own political house in order before stuffing your foot in your mouth about someone else’s political blunder.

pdxer · April 2, 2015, 2:17pm

An endorsement from Gov. Weeble is the last thing Pence needs right about now.

mantan · April 2, 2015, 2:19pm

They just wanna be elected. (sob!) Is that so wrong???

austin_dave · April 2, 2015, 2:32pm

“But, I can tell you this, I know Mike Pence, and he’s got nothing but love in his heart for people and I just do not believe that in any way Mike Pence would intend for anything to happen in his state on his watch to be discriminatory towards any person.”

Republican “belief”…watch for it. It’s the magic word that trumps fact, history, and action.

Chris who? Oh, yeah, the guy who completely fucked the New Jersey budget. That guy.

rich_in_nj · April 2, 2015, 2:40pm

Pence has so much love that he has to lie about the content of the bill, and he signed it surrounded by people who have offensive views about being gay.

So really, Christie, take the offensive advice you usually give to anyone who dares to call you on your serial lies, and just shut up.

kunk24 · April 2, 2015, 2:46pm

ha, ha, ha, ha …cough (bullshit)

douglashh · April 2, 2015, 2:58pm

"Mike Pence has nothing but love . . . . " Yeah, that’s why is was one of the most anti-gay congressmen in the house.

Krispie is more interested in the anti-gay pizza place. He is anti-gay but not antipasto.
