As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.
I am for our not having any discrimination in tax legislation.
I voted for the Defense of Marriage Act but I do not believe we should institutionalize a form of discrimination against any minority by amending the Constitution.
I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires.
My legislation would cut off all funding for trials of anyone from Guantanamo in any court in the United States of America. This bill would help stop the misguided plan to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists on trial in Downtown Manhattan.
I am very much opposed to forcing anyone to violate their conscience or their religious beliefs, and of course, I'm very much opposed to discrimination.
I'm not in favor of any discrimination of any form.
I will veto any tax increase.
In New Mexico... I may have vetoed more legislation as governor of New Mexico than all the other governors in the country combined.
I'd like to think I would have signed the Civil Rights bill and wouldn't have had any issues with it.
