Mike Pence : "The president should resign or be removed from office"

Permit me to post a quote from the current vice-president

".. If you and I fall into bad moral habits, we can harm our families, our employers and our friends. The President of the United States can incinerate the planet.

Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous. Throughout our history, we have seen the presidency as the repository of all of our highest hopes and ideals and values. To demand less is to do an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms.

So we get to the other, and in my view, only school of thought remaining. For America to move on, and we must.....either the President should resign or be removed from office. Nothing short of this sad conclusion will suffice to restore the institution of the presidency to its former and necessary glory."

"Further, the Presidents repeated lies to the American people in this matter compound the case against him as they demonstrate his failure to protect the institution of the presidency as the 'inspiring supreme symbol of all that is highest in our American ideals'.

Leaders affect the lives of families far beyond their own 'private life'. In the Bible story of Esther we are told of a king who was charged to put right his own household because there would be "no end of disrespect and discord" among the families of the kingdom if he failed to do so.

..The American people may deeply wish to move on and put this unpleasantness behind us. Regrettably, the Constitution does not permit such a national denial. If the President does not resign, the Republican Congress must impeach him even if it costs them their majority because the laws of this republic charge them with the duty to so act. Absent an uncharacteristic act of selflessness by the President, it is left to the Republicans to live up to their label and defend the laws and institutions of this Republic. If our leaders flinch at this responsibility, they would do well to heed the Proverb "if a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked". Our leaders must either act to restore the luster and dignity of the institution of the Presidency or we can be certain that this is only the beginning of an even more difficult time for our land. For the nation to move on, the President must move out. "

Presumably Pence was screwing around on his wife with some dude when he moralized against Clinton, like most of the GOP was doing at the time.

No.  Pence is peckerless.  Gave it to Jesus.

Yeah.  The 'holier than thou' Pence said that during The Clinton years.

And of course he would.  Pence, the consummate christian fraud-pecker is simply what he's always been.  A dolt who views religion as a weapon, an excuse.  He is a Shadow Walker. 

A Pence presidency would like Joel Osteen, except without all of the blinking and the 'young hot wife.'

Pence serious?  Yes.  Absolutely.  Mandatory daily prayers and prison for possession of birth control.

If it was applicable then it is more applicable now.

Except---in my opinion--it was not applicable then.  But, it is applicable now. 

Then, it was a sexual liaison and a lie about that liaison.

Now, it is about lies concerning sex, money, foreign influence, corruption in government, more money, more foreign influence and gawd knows what else.

I know. I was speaking from his likely perspective.

Pence does not have a perspective.  He's a dolt hiding behind the cross.

they demonstrate his failure to protect the institution of the presidency as the 'inspiring supreme symbol of all that is highest in our American ideals'.

Does anyone in their right mind think that Trump's presidency lives up to the "highest American ideals" ?

Only the mindless and those who see...………………..can't think of it...……..believe 'this president' lives up to 'the highest American ideals.'

Murican ideals...…….there are those too.
