24. Mike Pence is a lot of things, but competent isn't one of them.

You obviously didn't see the stunned, uncomprehending look he had on his face for weeks after the backlash began from his Discriminate Against Gay People All You Want Act. He tried to get people to call it the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but it was pretty obvious what the intent was.

He just couldn't understand why anyone could possibly be upset, I mean, freedom, and christians can't be bad or do the wrong thing, 'cos they're christians, and everyone hates gay people, right? They're unnatural, doncha ya know? Plus, also, freedom, and christians are being oppressed if they can't discriminate, why do you hate christianity!?!


He is also waging an all out war against our public schools. He tried to create his own version of Pravda - Indiana GOP Edition. He has cost the state millions between turning down federal money for schools, roads, and healthcare, to creating problems that encouraged businesses and individuals to boycott the state for months at a time. He turned Indiana into both a national laughingstock and a pariah.
