Mike Pence on how presidents should behave

[Cow Poke]

I have said before I almost wish they would impeach Trump so Pence would be President. I think he would make a better one morally. But not so sure if he is aggressive enough to get things done. My only worry is he might end up being another Jimmy Carter.

I think Jimmy was a really intelligent guy*, but simply had no drive. He allowed himself to be shaped by the people around him, and, in my opinion, often yielded to bad advice.



*though he was not, as is often claimed, a "nuclear engineer" on nuclear submarines, and never commanded one.

I just read this again - it sounds like Pence was unknowingly making a case for why he and his wife should be First Family. Could well happen! I pray that it does.

And yet when Pence showed how much morals and marriage meant to him by saying he wouldn't be alone in a room with a woman who wasn't his wife, he was castigated by the press and the liberals for it. They mocked him, called him a prude, a bigot, and a misogynist.

Rightly so. If you can't be alone in a room with a woman besides your wife, your morals and marriage are dangling by a thread.

That's just ignorant. It's not that he (or I) can't be - it's just an exercise in good judgment -- there's a thread here where this horse has been thoroughly beaten.

He will never be accused of making a pass at a woman who works for him or of having an affair will he?

Nor will he be as likely to be charged with sexual misconduct by somebody who just wants to ruin his life.

It’s about keeping accusations from happening and roomers from starting. Can’t be accused of anything if you don’t put yourself in that sort of situation.

Same thing with money - I never allow myself to be in a position of handling church money without a witness (in fact, most of the time I don't handle it at all, and am not present where it is being handled), and I insist that our church secretary do likewise. We have procedures in place to assure that...

A) the temptation to do something stupid is minimized
2) the opportunity for somebody to make false accusations is minimized.

Naturally, you can't keep nutty people from coming up with false allegations.

Sorry. I felt it was my duty to poke fun since another certain poker, who'll remain anonymous, but happens to be my older little twin brother from another mother, was asleep at the switch. Familial obligations and all that.

If he did he would be doing things differently.

Your opinion is duly noted, O self-righteous one.

That isn't a real concern. 99% of men don't follow Pence's policy and have no issue. Even if it were a problem, that would mean nobody should be alone with anyone because they could accuse you of anything.

Haven't you heard about the problem Joseph had in Egypt? He landed in jail for doing nothing wrong.
