Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) today introduced — along with 75 other Republicans — a resolution to officially commemorate the 9/12 taxpayer march on Washington.

I noticed something odd in Rep. Mike Pence’s (R-Ind.) floor speech today about conservative pundits, and Politico transcribed it.
As evidenced by the hundreds of thousands that filled town hall meetings this summer and the nearly a million Americans who gathered here in Washington in September, millions of Americans, Republicans, Democrats and Independents are worried about [...]

A major theme of last night’s speeches at Americans for Prosperity’s “Defending the American Dream Conference” was, ironically, out-and-out gloating about Chicago’s failed bid to host the 2016 Olympics.
“R-I-O!” said conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham, speaking the a ballroom of almost 2000 conservative activists. “May this be the first of many defeats for Chicago-style [...]

In a telling, but non-scientific, survey of the Republican Party’s social conservative base, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) won the 2009 Values Voter straw poll with a 28 percent plurality of the vote. Five-hundred and ninety-seven people voted.
In October 2007, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) won the first straw poll held by this young event, [...]

It’s hardly a surprise now when Republican leaders align themselves with the Tea Party movement, and the Values Voter Summit has been full of it. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) got closest to the spirit of the crowd — which had heard wildly diverging estimates of the 9/12 march on Washington all day.
“If the national media [...]

Here’s a quick wrap-up of today’s health care news.
Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) today presented his long-awaited proposal to overhaul health care. While Baucus calls his $856 billion plan (though in a letter to Baucus, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would cost a total of $774 billion) a “good” and [...]

At a breakfast sponsored by the American Spectator, I asked Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the House Republican Conference chairman what I thought would be a yes or no question: Would all Republican members of the House vote against the eventual, Democratic-sponsored health care bill? Pence spent nine minutes talking about Republican ideas.
“I think you will [...]

With an assist from Politico, which has completely bought into Glenn Beck’s campaign against “czars” — on Monday, the publication sketched out a “GOP czar revolt” that consisted of work by Michelle Malkin, a joke by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and a comment from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — conservatives are arguing that the [...]

… Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the third-ranking Republican in the House, who has mastered the art of making full-bore partisan attacks in the measured tones of an oatmeal salesman. Via Major Garrett of Fox News:
Van Jones should resign and if he is unwilling to do so, the president should demand his resignation.
