Mike Pence in Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto, by Rep. Dick Armey

On Budget & Economy: 2008: Lonely GOP dissent against Wall Street bailout

Pence had risen in lonely dissent against his party's president on the question of the Wall Street bailout in the fall of 2008. Many establishment Republican types pronounced that Pence's political apostasy would cost him his career. But for Pence--and for a number of his colleagues who joined him to vote nay--that vote was defining. That vote was about principle, not party. Mike Pence would later become the House Republican Conference chairman, proving our oft-said adage: Good policy is good politics. Source: Give Us Liberty, by Rep. Dick Armey, p.124-125 Aug 17, 2010
