He sure was right to raise a ruckus over Reagan’s appointment of James Baker III. Howard Phillips was the kind of fella America needs...to borrow Nixon’s ‘72 reelection slogan, “Now more than ever”.
I met him once in 1982 in College Station, where he was warning of the liberalism of Houston’s Jim Baker. He had also warned of the liberalism in 1981 of one Sandra Day O’Connor, but his prophecy was unheeded by Reagan.
