From what I know, dude hits all the right spots-I shall learn more about him but I'm happy!

What do you know about him? I know little other than he is a Roman Catholic and personally against abortion. He favors reducing abortions with abstinence focused education and promoting adoption as an alternative to unwanted pregnancy. He opposes capital punishment and supports the ACA (Obama Care).

Other than this, I know little more about him but plan to do some research. Can you share what you know?

I only know a little as I have said-I need to learn more.
Re: Abortion or pro choice as I like to call it-
"Since joining the Senate in 2012, Kaine has tried to cultivate an image as an abortion-rights champion. He’s pleased reproductive rights’ groups with a perfect voting record. He’s railed against GOP attempts to defund Planned Parenthood. And he’s celebrated in their legal victories, including last week’s Supreme Court ruling tossing out a Texas law that tried limiting a woman’s access to abortion clinics.

so back when he ran for governor in 2005-He pledged in his 2005 gubernatorial campaign to reduce the number of terminated pregnancies in the state by promoting adoption and abstinence-focused education.

So did he evolve? Personally, if he continues as he has done in the senate-I'm good. He upholds Roe v Wade 100%

He has 0% rating from the NRA which is wonderful for my beliefs. (me personally)
I oppose capital punishment so again-good for me personally.

Thanks for responding. You're right, we both need to do some research. At this point, based on what I know and what I learned from your reply, he looks good but the jury is still out for now.
 

 
Thanks! I think I heard something as I was falling asleep about the environmental ideas he has which may not be favorable-again, have to look it up LOL

In a perfect world he would not have been my choice, but in this current world? I want her to win and I think he is the best for that to happen.

I have never listened to any acceptance speeches.  As an Indy...I learn from the news and research....

But today I had time, so.... after listening to Kaine's acceptance speech...all I can say is WOW! Excellent choice by HC!

"Bienvenidos a todos"

I missed it  Now I have to go find it on the magical internet . I saw a clip where he was speaking Spanish-that's so awesome LOL. I *think* I heard that he is a member of a predominantly African American church (must look this up). When my body temp drops to normal I will start looking this dude up but so far I am liking him

"Bienvenidos a todos" is sooooooooooo much better than everybody get out

Hi NESunrise,

I happened to be home and watched Hillary introduce Kaine as her chosen VP running mate. Not an acceptance speech just yet but have no doubt that will come. 

I also did a bit more research and think that Kaine has much to offer as VP (so much more than Pence) as evidenced by his background and his real action to make the world a better place. Looking forward to learning more about him and how he stands up in the debates. I honestly think that this is going to be a very close race.

Would rather have a more viable candidate for POTUS but we are stuck with Clinton or Trump  Whoever wins you should be sure to vote for the legalization of recreational marijuana! This might be the only thing to get us through this without killing each other. 

I agree NE and Brave...Pence seems a bit afraid of the ....almost like he's unsure of this step he took to be his VP..
