President Bush and Senate Republicans have given conservatives little to cheer about lately, but over in the House of Representatives, a band of conservative Republicans have held firm in conservative principles. Thanks to the hard work and determination of Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.), chairman of the Republican Study Committee, conservatives still have hope for the future of the GOP. Pence, the 2005 HUMAN EVENTS Man of the Year and the first member of Congress to start a blog, spoke to a group of 16 conservative bloggers during our weekly bloggers’ briefing today in Washington.

TD class="containerrow2_blue">  The Case for Pence Mike Pence is the personification of a Reagan Republican. Pence believes in a strong national defense, traditional moral values and limited government. For him, government is too big, Life must be protected and our border must be secured, period. No gray areas and no compromise for the sake of political expediency. As a freshman, Congressman Pence voted against No Child Left Behind simply because “Education is not a federal function.” As a sophomore, Pence was named part of the whip team, meaning that as a part of the leadership team he would round up...

Well now, it’s the beginning of 2006 and the 2006 election cycle has barely begun. Normally, I would have mercy and write on some issue, or on this election. However, that’s not going to happen this time. Right now, we have an amazing opportunity. For all of us who are sick and tired of the Republican Party nominating compromised, weak and moderate candidates for President, there is now a solution to that problem. The solution has served in Congress for three terms, is a former Congressional Deputy Whip, and the current chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the strongest and...

His star is rising so fast on the national political scene that there's even talk of a possible presidential run. For now, however, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence just wants to keep his sights on his duties in Congress. He's moved into the limelight by pushing the Bush administration and the Republican leadership in Congress a little farther to the right side of the political spectrum when it comes to trimming the federal deficit. He and his conservative bloc in the House, the Republican Study Committee, have forced House leaders to accept some proposals to reduce federal spending in response to...

Over the past few weeks I've discussed the prospects of 14 potential presidential candidates. Now its my turn to say who I believe should be chosen to lead our nation in 2008. The next president of the United States needs to be unquestionably pro-life and for the sanctity of the family. He also must fight the war on terror including securing of our border. We also need a President who understands the importance of fiscal responsibility and limited government. This is perhaps the most neglected part of the Conservative agenda these days. We need a President who doesn't think veto...

(WANE-TV, Washington, D.C.) Indiana Congressman Mike Pence says some conservative leaders have talked with him about possibly running for president in 2008.

. Pence and the RSC quickly launched Operation Offset, aimed at cutting spending to make up for the cost of Katrina cleanup. More broadly, Pence jumpstarted a debate about the future of the Republican Party. "I think 2006 will be the most difficult year for the Republican majority since it was minted in 1994," Pence told me last week. "If those who care most about a Republican majority perceive that we are walking away from our principles, then there could be a very disappointing outcome for many members of the House and Senate come Election Day." What's more, he says:...
