INDIANAPOLIS — Before an audience of 400-plus Southern Baptists, former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday raised warnings about the shifting direction of the Republican Party but stopped short of denouncing a far-right religious movement rising amid former President Donald Trump’s candidacy for president in November.

"There’s also a very healthy debate within my party about whether we’re going to stay on the course…traditional moral values, a right to life, an affirmation of religious liberty or whether we’re going to start to move in a different direction," Pence said during a luncheon organized by the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy arm, the Nashville-based Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

Pence warned against a "different direction" and spoke to the importance of the GOP emphasizing certain traditional policy positions such as fiscal conservatism and defense spending. Many in the room nodded and murmured in agreement with Pence's analysis.

I was growing to think rather highly of Pence when he was Veep. Long story short, he needlessly backstabbed and badmouthed Pres Trump in the last few weeks and I was, to put it in a word, shocked.

Trump has been backstabbed, broadsided, or just plain let down by many of his appointees.

From afar, it appears that at least some of them were simply purchased, bought off by the DemoCommieNazi sabotage of President Trump and his effort to drain the WashDC swamp.

I’m wondering whether there’s any way Pres Trump will be able to select more honest people for his second administration?

Most Americans believed their grammar-school civics lessons, that a President, elected in clean elections, represents the people, and has broad powers and control over all the organs of Federal Government, to implement the will of the people, and carry-out the laws of Congress as he deems best.

What really occurs is that the President is a controlled by the vast unelected bureaucracy, either through outright blackmail and corruption, through manipulation by false information, or treachery by corrupted appointees and life-long members of the bureaucracy with their own agenda.

At least we can say Trump certainly succeeded in showing Americans how government really works.

Stay the course, oh you mean carry the water for Libs, clean their toilets, wash their cars, take their kids to school, take their girl friends to the doctor, drive them home when their drunk, hop on their waitress sandwich so the press can’t criticize the sexism of Libs….. That kind of stay the course?

Good Lord Pence - we have sexual debauchery in the schools, religion being infested by deviant ideologies, all in the name of destroying America and you only care about FISCAL CONSERVATISM while bragging about your, so-called, Christian ideals?

F-off.

We don’t need to read this article to know that Pence is an anti-MAGA, Establishment RINO. He’s already shown that numerous times in the past.

Pence is definitely part of the conservative morality police group. The same way he’s who look down their noses at Trump and all of us who will vote for him. They want Christian nationalism, and believe that we can somehow become a moral Christian nation. We are so far past that, there’s nothing short of God alone that can change our course. Being smarmy and dividing conservative votes only speeds the downfall.

He’s pushing Defense Spending.

That’s what he says.

Just like Paul Ryan, they support every kind of spending, and of course, Ukraine other countries, and immigrants - where’s the money for the finest Pride flags and Drag Queen shows?

Pence loved Mark Milley

He didn’t say support sowing the seeds of war to this group. That is Job One to the establishment.

Milley criticized Trump to the glee of the Media, and then Pence and Graham defended Milley.

That old USA Constitution is looking better and better.

Maybe someday a future society might dig it up and decide to try it

“Tucker Carlson just brutalized Mike Pence for prioritizing Ukraine despite a litany of social ills afflicting America:

“Tucker: ‘Where’s the concern for the United States?’

“Pence: ‘That’s not my concern. Tucker I’ve heard this routine from you before. That’s not my concern.’”

Pence is a twat. Wraps himself up in the flag and bible but is just a shill.... a traitor in the enemies camp for the dem/rep uniparty criminals.

He’s worse than Schumer, Biden, anyone.....because he’s supposedly on our side....
