Twice in the past generation, the Republican party has proclaimed a
"revolution" in American politics. In 1980, Ronald Reagan won a
landslide victory on a platform of tax cuts, smaller government,
and a stronger defense. And in 1994, Newt Gingrich took up the
revolutionary mantle, tossing out the Democratic Congress and
proclaiming the end of "business as usual" in Washington.
As the 2000 presidential election draws near, the optimism of
those heady days seems like ancient history. The Reagan years are a
dim memory, and the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill after
five years in power has failed to enact the Contract with America.
In 2000, the GOP faces not only the possibility of a third
consecutive presidential defeat but the prospect of losing its
House majority as well. The time for dithering is over, and the
time for action is now.
"Completing the Revolution" is Robert Novak's manifesto for a
Republican victory in November and for implementing a conservative
vision for government in the years to come. He brings to his
analysis the combativeness familiar to those who watch him on CNN's
"Crossfire, " and the insight and perspective that have helped to
make him one of America's leading political columnists. He is not
afraid to criticize the various presidential candidates or the
Republican leaders in Congress, especially those who fail to stand
up for the party's principles -- whom he calls "Clintonized
Republicans."
At the center of "Completing the Revolution" is Novak's bold
proposal for a new Republican agenda, one that remains true to the
party's core values and can command a majority in the country. He
offers surprising and original perspectives on taxes, Social
Security, abortion, campaign finance, race and gender politics, and
term limits, among other issues. He also lays bare the fault lines
that have emerged in the 2000 presidential race and shows how they
offer the party a stark choice: division and defeat, or principled
victory. The road to the White House, Novak admonishes, requires
one thing above all, from candidates and supporters alike: the
courage to stick to real Republican principles.
For any conservative who cares about the direction of public
life in America, Robert Novak has provided the essential guide to
our nation's millennial election.
