If the Republican Party is no longer the
party of Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan,
Newt Gingrich, small government, or fis¬
cal restraint, then what is it? And what s a self-
respecting, less-government, fiscally conserva¬
tive voter supposed to do? Has the GOP lost
its mind?
Yes, says author and rising star New York Post
columnist Ryan Sager in the surprising new
book, The Elephant in the Room. Outspoken
and fed up, Sager, a conservative and a liber¬
tarian, foresees major upheaval ahead for the
Republican Party. As the long marriage of
convenience between the social conserva¬
tives (a.k.a., the Religious Right), primarily in
the South, and the small-government conser¬
vatives (a.k.a., libertarians), primarily in the
West, is unraveling and the coalition that has
put and kept the Republican Party in power
faces disaster, the possibility of a Democratic
resurgence is on the horizon.
Not only would infighting cripple the GOP,
but the people ready to jump ship control
much of the campaign cash (on Wall Street
and elsewhere) and crucial swing votes (in
leave us alone states such as Arizona,
Colorado, Nevada, and Montana). As the
nation s population and electoral map shift
South and West, the current Republican Party
increasingly favors Southern values (religion,
morality, tradition) over Western ones (free¬
dom, independence, privacy). The result? The
party is in danger of losing its Western base.
Provocative, and by turns hilarious and sober¬
ing, the book deftly traces the rocky and
colorful path the Republican Party has taken
to bring it to its present, precarious position.
Sager saves his sharpest arrows for the
current administration
—
flag bearers of big-
government conservatism, which Sager
interprets to mean that free-spending big
government is not so bad, so long as it s
Republicans doing the spending and intrud¬
ing into the lives of Americans, instead of
Democrats. In short, Sager says the GOP has
adopted the political philosophy that any¬
thing goes so long as we stay.
All hope is not lost, however, and in The
Elephant in the Room Sager offers a way out
of the mangled mess. He calls it a renewal of
fusionism, a better blend between liberty and
tradition, freedom and responsibility; one that
emphasizes small government instead of
Republican-controlled government, morality
instead of
moralism,
and principles instead
of politics.
