I heard Newt clearly state that the era of Reagan conservatism is dead. Rush was stunned, as I was. Newt is positioning himself to be acceptable to the leftist leadership at a brokered convention.
Fey on him and his liberal friends!
“I heard Newt clearly state that the era of Reagan conservatism is dead. Rush was stunned, as I was.”
I guess what I’m asking is what does he mean by this? Does he mean that we have to get over talking about Reagan this or that? If true I would agree.
Reagan did not invent the conservative movement. For that matter neither did Barry Goldwater. What both of them did is successfully espouse the principles that our founding fathers believed in and founded this country on.
I think that what Newt may be saying is that we (as conservatives) should not be continually looking for the next Reagan. He was a one of a kind. What we should be looking for (as conservatives) is a candidate who can successfully espouse and advance the conservative principles to answer the needs of the American people today.
Is that what Newt could have meant?
