Did the movement conservatism of Buckley, Goldwater and Reagan die on November 4, 2008--a victim of its own excesses and ideological exhaustion? Join us for a provocative discussion with Sam Tanenhaus, editor of The New York Times Book Review and Week in Review, whose new book The Death of Conservatism considers the past and future of the right in American politics. http://www.newamerica.net/events/2009/death_conservatism
No, Tanenhaus, conservatism did not die. The Republican party shot itself in the foot. Obama is simply a third Bush term. Now he and his party are on the out because the voters didn't want more of Bush. Most people in this country for years now have not voted for anyone, but against the incumbent. Republicans will not learn that lesson after next year and will be losing again to Democrats in no time. Conservatism is weak and really matters little to the average voter.
