“Memo to John McCain: Please, please READ THIS BOOK. It can
help you win the election and guide Republicans in shaping
the political future. Memo to Democrats: Don’t read this book. It's going to be
THE political book of 2008. Republicans will be better off
if you choose to ignore it.”
--William Kristol, editor, The Weekly Standard In a provocative challenge to Republican conventional
wisdom, two of the Right's rising young thinkers call upon
the GOP to focus on the interests and needs of working-
class voters. Grand New Party lays bare the failures of the conservative
revolution and presents a detailed blueprint for building
the next Republican majority. Blending history, analysis,
and fresh, often controversial recommendations, Ross
Douthat and Reihan Salam argue that it is time to move
beyond the Reagan legacy and the mind-set of the current
Republican power structure. In a concise examination of recent political trends, the
authors show that the Democrats' cultural liberalism makes
their party inherently hostile to the interests and values
of the working class. But on a host of issues, today's
Republican Party lacks a message that speaks to their
economic aspirations. Grand New Party offers a new
direction—a conservative vision of a limited-but-active
government that tackles the threats to working-class
prosperity and to the broader American Dream. With specific proposals covering such hot-button topics as
immigration, health care, and taxes, Grand New Party will
shake up the Right, challenge the Left, and force both
sides to confront and adapt to the changing political
landscape.
