It must be said that Mike Pence is a very eloquent man, an
excellent communicator who, like Reagan, got his start as a
broadcaster. Herewith some quotes from his meeting earlier today
with a large group of conservative bloggers, held (as are ongoing
appearances by all the candidates for Republican leadership posts)
through the good (and neutral) graces of the Heritage
Foundation:
"I believe that fundamentally the foundation of public
confidence in Republicans [was lost] when we departed from limited
government and fiscal discipline and reform."
"We simply have to have the ability and the credibility to speak
to millions of Americans" on behalf of limited government and
traditional moral values.
He believes the Minority Leader and the GOP caucus should be
"vigorously opposing the big-government and socially liberal
policies... of the Democratic majority."
"I bring a certain cheerful pugilism" to a "target-rich
environment." And, he hopes, "a substantive, thoughtful, mainstream
conservative alternative--and a smile.:
To fight outrageous earmarks, he advocates "greater
transparency, greater accountability, and greater
challenge-ability."
...There. That's a pretty thorough overview of what he said.
Decide for yourselves, dear readers.
