Mike Pence may have just shot his Presidential aspirations in the foot.

This is a stupid law. How in the world can people justify in their mind refusing business to gays? Is their money gay? Will their gay-ness rub off on them?

Evangelicals believe that yes.. the more gay people are around them, they higher chance they have of becoming gay. Mike Huckabee is one of them, as is Mike Pence

You have named two people that stand no chance of becoming president.

Yet one won Iowa in 2008, and will again run this year.. the other plans to in 4 years? Both represent more than 30% of the republican party as well. Purple elephants cannot be ignored.

Arizona passes laws to discriminate against against Mexican Immigrants, Indiana passes law to discriminate against "religious freedom", texas and other states try to ban abortion (which violates federal law).... can someone tell me something the Republican / Right is actually FOR? Not just against?

The NRA & Americans Gun Rights.

The NRA & Americans Gun Rights.

I stand corrected... 100% right lol. Republicans recently blocked legislation to expand the ban of Ivory sales in the US.. because the NRA said it infringed on the second amendment lol

The NRA is the GOP kryptonite. If you even slightly flinch against anything they stand for you CANNOT win the primary. I equate the GOP duplicity on the NRA to all politician's duplicity regarding religion. Good otherwise qualified Republicans can't run against the NRA and good qualified candidates of both parties cannot speak freely about religion. And that is sad, almost as sad as the impossibility of a poor person winning office.

Oh and the GOP is FOR something else; their pledge to not raise taxes under any circumstances. Along with the unelected NRA, Grover Norqvist also carries a lot of weight where he shouldn't.

Sadly many democrats are the same way. I would LOVE one politician to stand up and admit we never had a right to keep and bare arms until the 1970's (when the supreme court wrongly said we did). The second amendment talks about milita's, it was meant for protection of the country against the British, and had nothing to do with the individual. One could argue the second amendment actually requires regulation of all weapons.. but that's another topic.

I for one think its a great law. You should be able to turn whoever you want away from YOUR business.

With social media the way it is today good luck staying in business!! I know I would never go to a place that refused to serve blacks or gays.

Just to clarify.. you believe in segregation? That's what you just advocated for. I have no issue with a business throwing out a rowdy customer, posting signs that say "shirt and shoes required", having a sports jacket dress code... those are perfectly acceptable. When you start banning people because you are prejudice against them as a person.. that's when you cross the line. If you do not get that distinction, then I ask again.. do you believe in segregation?
