The TOWERING HYPOCRISY of Mike Pence

[Martin Eden]

Mike Pence actually did the right thing on Jan 6 but I doubt it was a matter of principle, because he was and is as big a HYPOCRITE as anyone else in the Party of Trump ass kissers.

The excerpts below are from a July 2016 column by Chicago Tribune columnist Steve Chapman. He quotes a speech Pence made at The Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention in 2010, in which his intended target was then president Barack Obama's supposed ego and lack of moral character.

Given the degree to which Pence has eagerly licked the scrotal sack of the most morally corrupt egomaniac to ever cast a shit stain on the American presidency, the quotes below demonstrate the moral hypocrisy at the core of the former VP:

The presidency's "powers are vast and consequential, its requirements -- from the outset and by definition -- impossible for mortals to fulfill without humility and insistent attention to its purposes as set forth in the Constitution of the United States," declared Pence, his gaze steely and his jaw firmly set. Of power, he said, "Those who are entrusted with it must educate themselves in self-restraint."

"A true statesman lives in what Churchill called a continuous 'stress of soul,'" Pence informed his audience. "And that's why you must always be wary of a president who seems to float upon his own greatness."

Pence told a story to illustrate the humanity and humility of Calvin Coolidge. "A sensibility like this -- and not power -- is the source of presidential dignity, and it must be restored," he said. "It depends entirely upon character, self-discipline and an understanding of the fundamental principles that underlie not only the republic but life itself.

"It communicates that the president feels the gravity of his office and is willing to sacrifice himself, that his eye is not upon his own prospects but upon the storm of history, through which it is his responsibility to navigate with the specific powers accorded to him and the limitations placed upon them not merely by man but by God."

6. Remember when he used campaign funds to

pay mortgage, personal credit cards, golf fees, groceries, and his wife’s car payments during his 1990 Indiana congressional run.

FEC changed ethics rules barring use of campaign funds for personal needs as a direct result of his ethics failures.

Leopard doesn’t change his spots.
