Pence: "No Compromise" In Next Congress
Politico reports:
The third-ranking Republican plans to tell an audience in Florida on Thursday that GOP congresses of yesteryear compromised “too much” — a warning to Republicans who are signaling that they’d be willing to work with the Obama administration on some issues.
House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana, in a clear jab at a Wall Street Journal story that indicated the GOP would look to avoid gridlock, plans to say that “there can be no compromise that allows more borrowing, more spending, more deficits and more debt.”
“Now, the last few days there has been some talk about how Republicans could avoid the ‘mistakes’ of 1995 by seeking compromise with this administration,” according to an excerpt reported by the conservative blog Redstate. “The last Republican Congress didn’t suffer from too little compromise, it suffered from too much. Republicans lost their majority because of too much compromise on spending and deficits and debt.”
