“Take heart that there will be a Republican and conservative answer to our bloated government. Democrats (only through implication) will seek to raise taxes as a solution; the Republicans will promise to take an axe to the government and reduce it to what the tax dollars bring in. Guess what position will win? (And why should the public believe the Republicans? Because they will believe a Giuliani or a McCain).
Believe me: a new Reaganism will be borne out of the Bush presidency; and it will be built on the best things that Bush accomplished (he kept us from spiritually becoming a pacifist Canada or a soulless EU, which is what the Left would have produced), and not simply as a reaction to failed presidency.”
