Reply To: If you vote Democrat you should just move to Mexico

AZ, you can keep labeling my facts “straw men” if it helps you sleep at night, but that won’t change them. You can’t take the religious values a very devout Xtian man like Pence shares in an address to a solely Xtian group in an effort to relate to those voters on their religious similarity, and conflate that with an election platform. It’s like saying Schumer’s speech to AIPAC in which he says the Torah says Jews own the land of Israel means that he wants to enact Jewish Torah law as the law of the land in the USA – that’s completely absurd and we both know it’s not true and that he’s just pandering to his base, as all politicians are wont to do.

The fact of the matter is that a VP doesn’t dictate policy or legislate, so your point is completely irrelevant. If you want to get into absurd things politicians say in speeches, I suggest you listen to Hillary’s campaign speeches in which she asserted at the 2015 Women of the World summit that, (and I quote) “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” So I ask you, does she deny the freedom of religion protections in the Constitution? I assume not. I assume it’s reckless pandering to her base. Nonetheless, Democrat policies are backward and stupid with destructive ends, and I would never vote for one. Anyone who lists gov’t subsidized contraceptives as a primary reason to vote for the left needs to reassess their priorities.
