Mike Pence To Decide On 2012 Presidential Run After 'Seeking Counsel' From Lord

[Melissa]

I hope Pence runs for governor of Indiana. Keep him as far away from foreign policy decisions as possible.

Not sure how I feel about him being Governor and he is my rep but he does need to stay far away from Civil Liberties and foreign policy

Mike Pence To Decide On 2012 Presidential Run After 'Seeking Counsel' From Lord

Mike Pence appeals to a lot of Christian conservatives because he speaks out publicly about his faith. To the average Christian voter, that sort of gesture shows that he is not ashamed of his belief in God. In an important way, that is crucial because it tells the general public where you are coming from when dealing with the issues of the day, and of course, for Christians, it marks whether you are worthy of their support, at a base level.

Admittedly, many Christian politicians are inconsistent about their faith when it comes to foreign policy and economic policy. I only wish Congressman Paul would be more vocal about his faith. Perhaps it would gain the attention of more Christian voters and lead to their following his platform, which I see as a Biblical platform.

Pence will have to wait until after the football season. The Lord is to busy deciding football games.

Hopefully in my favor .

There's nothing wrong with what he said. He's a Christian and he prays regularly. Good for him. Nobody should have a problem with that.

Talking to your God is just fine. Thinking he talks back to you is something else altogether. After all it was "God" who told Dubya to be President and to invade foreign countries and kill him a whole shit load of Arabs.

Theo is right. Whether you agree with it or not, Christians are taught at a VERY early age that elected leaders should only be Christians. Christians don't like atheists ruling over them...take it for what its worth..



Personally, I hate when a politician wears their faith on their sleeve, and then advocate statism. But when a politician advocates LIBERTY, I would LOVE to hear about his faith.

Where the spirit of the lord is , there is Liberty . ( 2 Corinthians , I think ? )

I agree with you!
I have noticed most organized religion are great at brainwashing!! This is the key to organized religion!! I personally do not want a right-winger telling me how to live which they love to do and use big government to enforce their thoughts and beliefs on americans!!

There is a higher law and authority than that of the State. Only a sinful people crave the State to rule them like slaves. Resistence to tyranny is the Christian and social duty of each indivudual, as Hancock said.

What a traitor!
Hey Mike, which God are you talking about?
The one who made you claim that we should stand with Israel until the very end no matter what?

Well, I am sure there are countless thousands of religions, most of which might be local and involve some local demi-god of sorts. I can't say they all worship the same God. But as a Hindu, formerly Christian, I can tell you that I have worshiped the same God all my life, as there is only one God who is Supreme, and though others may wish to push me away, in my heart I know they are my brother under God. I just prefer to worship Him a little differently. I hope that does not anger or offend.

Not at all. We just disagree. But, to each his/her own.

Nothing wrong with what he said. But there's something wrong with his policies. Pence, do everyone a favor and endorse Ron Paul. Thanks.

That is what Bush CLAIMED. Doesn't mean it really happened.

And it is really none of your affair what someone's religion is, or whether they talk to God or not. All you should care about is whether they plan to adhere to their oath of office and follow the Constitution.

Resistance to tyranny is correct .

SB, it's the last statement that I would think is the important one. And it's not really whether they are a right winger, is it? I doubt it would be alright with you if a left-winger used big government to force their beliefs on you, either.

Religion isn't your enemy. Big government is.

Theo, I doubt God appreciates being used as part of someone's political playbook.

religion is man-made and has the same agenda as dems and republicans before there were dems and republicans! I have a feeling many christians will be very dissapointed in the end game! When the truth that is not known to man is known by man!! It is about control and power just ask the vatican and any other religious leaders who control religious sects! they probably will not tell the truth
People should have more faith in a higher being or god or whatever label you want to attach to the creator to make you feel comfy then any controlled religion for power and control!!!! I have no faith in organized religions! God/Creator/Highe Being told me do not trust organized religions dems or republicans except Ron Paul! It is devine intervention that i am a registered republican! Right-wingers are some of the most biggov people alive in our country!!

I will continue fighting for Ron Paul 2012 but the gop will do everything in their power to make sure it doesn't happen! Being a registered republican,dealing with the gop in my eyes is like dealing with the devil!

We should not be focusing on obama but the failed gop leadership! The more i hear from the gop .The more i think i will have to vote 3rd party! The devil is running against the devil is not a reason to vote republican!! We will see what Rand does but i do not even trust rand! Ron Paul 2012 ps we are not only fighting neo-cons but right-winger nuts in the gop most of the time one in the same!!!!

Sb, yes, the GOP leadership sucks. But, every time I see you post this I wonder if you believe that the Democrat leadership is just all hunky dorey? Do you? We are fighting big government statism, amongst other things, and it is in way more than just the Republican party.

I agree but most right-wingers are big government lovers and just as bad as the left! The right-wingers in the republican party are a threat to liberty and freedom right along with the neo-cons and in many cases are one in the same!! i never speak about the dems because they are not gop leadership or republicans and have nothing to do with reforming the failed gop! the problem in the gop is not dems it is republicans!! But most of the right-wingers and neo-cons wear religion on their sleeves which makes it an issue!!! examples are bush and focus on the family(a severe threat to liberty and freedom. i view focus on the family as more of a threat to liberty and freedom then any terrorists!!
