Mike Pence Seems to Think Being a Conservative Means Letting the Left Get Away With Everything
PJ Media ^ | 2/22/23 | Robert Spencer

In this era of deep crisis and division in America, Mike Pence wants to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States in 2024, and he wants you to know that a Pence presidency (The Pencidency, you heard it here first) would be a comforting reassertion of the Republican Party’s familiar role as the placid, country-clubbing controlled opposition, never rocking the boat as the Left sets the agenda politically, economically, culturally, and in every other way.

If you want solid, stolid, poker-faced, self-righteous impotence and me-tooism, Mike Pence is your man. Solid, stolid Pence reinforced that perception Wednesday when he called out Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) for being so un-conservative as to do something actually to resist the Left and stop it in its tracks. Good, solid, colorless Men of the Right such as Mike Pence just don’t do such things.

Pence began by defending DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill, which endeavors to stop the grooming of children in primary schools. The former vice president declared that he “fully supported Florida’s initiative to protect kids and protect parental rights.” He even offered an example of why such a bill was needed: “I was just in Iowa last week where literally there’s a school — the Linn-Mar Community School — [that] will allow a student to get a gender transition plan without parental notification or approval.” That’s ghastly indeed, and it’s good to see Pence speaking out against it. But don’t take that to mean that once The Pencidency was up and running Gray Mike would do anything actually effective.

Pence went on to hit DeSantis for going too far:

The entire GOP “establishment” thinks conservative means not doing anything as the Left continues to push our country into a corrupt, Communist / Woke Hellhole.

As Indiana governor Pence was against gay marriage except for the part where he let it happen anyway without a fight.

“I surrender all to the Democrats” is sadly a Republican tradition.

Pence got no balls at a time when we need a president with big brass ones. Milk-toast Mike is the wrong guy at the wrong time and place.

Which is why I knew he would never stand up for Trump in 2020. He had already been tested and found wanting, and we know that he’s the guy who wont stand up when the chips are down. Trump should not have picked him in 2016.

Exactly. There are a lot of Ann Coulter haters who have to admit she was 100% right for criticizing Trump the day he picked Pence as veep.

I’m almost convinced that RINOS like Romney, Pence and McConnell are sent to us by the Democrat party to infiltrate and water down the GOP platform. This allows election cheating to go unchallenged, enables leftist policies to get just enough bipartisan approval to pass Congress, not to mention generating lackluster turnout at elections as most voters can’t tell the difference between the two parties anymore.

Ann Coulter is a moron.

Presidential candidates don’t pick their running mates. The party leadership does.

Having read Phyllis Shlafley’s books, I agree with you.

When they are punching at you, you have to punch back. Pence is what is wrong with ideological purity. William F. Buckley has passed on. Those days are in the past. Now when the Left hits you, you punch back harder, or you die.

DeSantis is right on this one. Tell Disney to get lost. Florida will survive.

"I just had my own physical", Pence declared, "and
the doctors informed me that I have no brain in there."

The ‘p’ in pence stands for something else, imho.

Pence is the type of conservative that wants to conserve every leftist gain—and make it permanent.
