[Always Right]

Ronald Reagan’s last run in 1984, is the last time the left in the United States was seriously confronted with the small government less intrusive doctrine.

It was revived for a couple years in 1994 with the Contract with America, but after that small government conservatism was not a major theme of the GOP.

I think you’ve got a point there. Thank you for the mention. I don’t remember each of Newt’s points, but I do believe small government was in there.

Thanks.

BTW: When our founding principles are heralded as part of a campaign, the campaign is generally quite successful. Unfortunately the RP leadership never seems to realize this.
