Timely and True!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great Read!! This book it timely and true as evidenced by this recent election (Nov 6, 2018). As an election judge in a rural town I rarely even see a provisional ballot. This book will help solve the dishonest unethical situation the voting public finds itself in. Hugh should re-publish this every 2 years. I pull out my copy every 2 years.

Whether you are a R or D, this is a excellent read.

This is a well written book. It makes the point quickly and moves on to the next issue. Mr. Hewitt's point that the only true issue in this election is the war, is excellent and straight to the point. He argues that all other issues should be put aside to make sure everyone is safe. Whether you are on the right and being asked to put gun rights behind you or on the left and being ask to put gay rights on the back burner, Mr. Hewitt makes a good point that the nation should be put first. Therefore, elect the people who can best handle the war. Easy read, can be completed in only a few hours.

Affable & Partisan, Book needs work

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2004

Verified Purchase

Hugh is an entertaining talk show host and knowledgeable about many matters political. But this book promises what it does not deliver, evidence of Dem shenanigans and how to circumvent them. Of course, there is a lot to cover but Hugh doesn't choose to do that. This book could have used more research. There are some good lines in this book, mostly quotes from famous people I had not heard before.

In chapter one, Hugh provides the standard disclaimer before his critique that Democrat behavior can still be patriotic. While this is in line with Hugh's intent of being partisan but not sounding shrill, there are many who think Dem behavior both unpatriotic and treasonous ( a la McDermott visiting Baghdad, Patty Murray talking about Bin Laden building day care centers, Al Sharpton saying that we deserved 911). It is amusing to hear Hugh declaim that he is not accusing the left of being self-serving partisan hacks when that is exactly what they accuse him of being.

Hewitt's arguments will be instructive to the conservative reader in that they illustrate the strengths and failings of GOP strategies as currently employed. I don't vouch for or even agree with many of his assessments of Democrat flaws but his assertion that Democrats prefer power regardless of ethics or law is borne out by historical events.

Hugh occasionally makes some rather fatuous assertions. One is the statement that the campaign of Pat Buchanan led to the defeat of the 1st President Bush. While Buchanan was certainly an indicator of dissatisfaction with Bush, Sr., one must not mistake the symptom for the cause which was, to a large extent, Bush's promise not to raise taxes and his breaking faith with the American people. I, for one, found it difficult to support a man who sold his promises so cheaply.

He calls California Proposition 187 which denied benefits to illegal aliens `a disaster' despite overwhelming public support. If it is a liability to the GOP it is only because the inept GOP has allowed immigration activists to cast the law in an unfair light. Does Hugh want to extend benefits to illegal aliens? He does not say. He is merely being politically correct. The best way to beat the left - in fact the only way since they own most of the media, is to win big on an issue, just, like, 187.

What Hugh does not say, and should, is that both the Hispanic and Black communities share family values with the Republican Party, not the Democrat Party. Whether it's school vouchers, homosexual marriage, condoms in schools, parental notification, or partial-birth abortions, they agree with the GOP. Both have been exploited by the Democrat Party. Over 30 - 40 years of Democrat rule the black family has been destroyed. Almost 70% of black children are born to broken families. Perhaps the Democrats believe in non-traditional families but the experiment has not been good for the Black community.

As ways to support the election Hewitt suggests fund raising parties and blithely advocates donating $4,000. He might be surprised to find out that 4K is a lot of money to most of us out here and that no one would come to our `fund-raising parties'. LOL. If I give $200 to a candidate, I have second thoughts on whether I am wasting money (particularly when it's someone like John Thune who won't even demand a recount in a close race).

Certainly the quality of political advertising on the GOP side seems to be lacking enthusiasm. A mere recapitulation of the outrageous and fantastical charges of the left for the past year would be enough to swing the election it seems to me. Tony Snow had a much better suggestion when he brought up videotaping polls on Election Day. This might do much to explain why certain Democrat precincts had Saddam Hussein- like turnouts in the 2000 election.

Hugh's suggestion to buy this book and give it to someone is just what it seems - shameless marketing. I like Hugh but I don't see anything in this book that would change anyone's mind or help the GOP - unless you really can donate $4,000 and just hadn't thought of it :^O. "Unfit for Command' would be a better gift.

Keeps the focus on the most important issue

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2004

Verified Purchase

There is so much that can divert attention from the fact that the one most important issue in this election is how the next administration will deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism and the damage that can be done to our society in this age of weapons of mass destruction. Even those of us who do not support many of the administration's domestic policies can benefit from constant reminders of the importance of this one issue. I do appreciate the honesty of several reviewers who slam the book after proudly stating that they have not read it. I've read it twice and have lived through most of the events chronicled and it does ring true - maybe that's what those reviewers didn't like about it.

Easy-to-read primer on our most important topic

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2004

Verified Purchase

Hugh Hewitt's blog ([...]) is one of my daily stops. With Hugh, you are guaranteed to receive a fresh perspective on the cutting-edge news of the day. His interests and reading are wide-ranging, but his focus on the important topics of the day is clear, focused like a laser. In If It's Not Close," the key is winning. Not "by any means possible" winning, but "controlling the major issue" winning. In this election, the major issue is national security.

The importance of winning grew out of the Californian experience of the recall election. Many people forget how tenuous the recall election was. First, it was on, then off, then on. If it would have been close, it would have been challenged immediately. Thank God, it wasn't, because Arnold has single-handedly rescued us from the brink of disaster.

Sure, the liberal media didn't help Arnold win, but neither did Tom McClintock, one of the Republican "purists." In this book, Hugh makes a great case for the Republican "purists" and "extremists" to give up their pet causes and agendas just long enough to cast a vote for George Bush. Only an overwhelming win, 5% or more, will give the Republican Party the mandate to accomplish its cultural goals.

As a gift, this book is better for Republicans who've lost their way than it is for "girlie man" Democrats. Like John Podhoretz' Bush Country, this book is an apologetic for George W. Bush.
