Pence: 'A clarifying time'
November 14, 2008| By Nathaniel Ward
This is "a clarifying time for the conservative movement in America and a clarifying time for the Republican Party," Rep. Mike Pence told a Heritage Foundation audience Monday.
While the Indiana Congressman said he believes conservatives are "in the wilderness" politically, they should not be demoralized or discouraged.
Instead, he told members of Heritage's President's Club in Washington, the election results provide conservatives the opportunity to recommit to their principles.
There are reasons for optimism, he explained. Liberals prevailed in the recent elections in part because "had better organization this time. But we have better ideas."
"The Heritage Foundation is going to play a mission-critical role" in helping conservatives articulate these values and spread a common-sense message of reform to the American people.
