Book Description

February 23, 2009
A collection of eight essays by Laurence M. Vance that chronicle the failure of the Republican Revolution. The so-called Republican Revolution began on January 3, 1995, after the Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress in the 1994 midterm elections. The last time this happened was the congressional elections of 1952. The Revolution officially came to an end on January 20, 2009, when George Bush s second term as president came to a well-deserved and much-anticipated end. It is my contention that conservatives who think the Republican Party is the party of conservatism are mistaken, Christians who think the Republican Party is the party of God are deceived, and anyone who thinks the Republican Party is the lesser of two evils is ignorant. The Republican Party had a chance to roll back the size, scope, and cost of the federal government, but failed miserably. It is truly the party of Lincoln--the party of war, crony capitalism, pious platitudes, empty rhetoric, big government, and an imperial presidency.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistency, September 4, 2009
This review is from: The Revolution that Wasn't (Pamphlet)
Is a laudatory comment the author has written about his own work considered appropriate under the heading, "Editorial Review"? I would not have thought so.

If Dr Vance feels that the "Republican Revolution began on January 3, 1995, after the Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress in the 1994 midterm elections," how can he claim that, "The Revolution officially came to an end on January 20, 2009, when George Bush's second term as president came to [its] end?"

Surely the so-called revolution ended in the same manner in which it began--when the Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress after the mid-term elections of 2006. In fact, Republican control was tenuous at best through much of the period between 1995 and 2006. The fact that the Democrat legislature kept a very low profile until the 2008 election of Obama, and further advances in both Houses, was a choice motivated by a desire for overwhelming power which they understood would be necessary for instituting the radical changes they planned.

Dr Vance surely is correct about the failure of the GOP to represent the interests of small-government Christian conservatives, but he should use more care. How many similar inconsistencies should readers expect in his text?
