As the 2000 presidential election drew near, the optimism of those heady days seemed like ancient history. The Reagan years were a dim memory, and the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill after five years in power had failed to enact the Contract with America. In 2000, the GOP faced not only the possibility of a third consecutive presidential defeat but the prospect of losing its House majority as well. The time for dithering was over.
"Completing the Revolution" is Robert Novak's manifesto 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.
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.
