THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - October 30, 2009

Newt, Sarah and a New GOP
by Pat Buchanan

"Sometimes party loyalty asks too much," said JFK.

For Sarah Palin, party loyalty in New York's 23rd congress-
ional district asks too much. Going rogue, Palin endorsed
Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman over Republican
Dede Scozzafava.

On Oct. 1, Scozzafava was leading. Today, she trails
Democrat Bill Owens and is only a few points ahead of
Hoffman, as Empire State conservatives defect to vote
their principles, not their party.

Newt Gingrich stayed on the reservation, endorsing
Scozzafava, who is pro-choice and pro-gay rights, and
hauls water for the unions.

Scourged by the right, Newt accused conservatives of going
over the hill in the battle to save the republic, just to
get a buzz on. "If we are in the business about feeling
good about ourselves while our country gets crushed, then
I probably made the wrong decision." How Scozzafava would
prevent America's being "crushed" was unexplained.

The 23rd recalls a famous Senate race 40 years ago. Rep.
Charles Goodell was picked by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to
fill the seat of Robert Kennedy in 1968. To hold onto it,
Goodell swerved sharp left, emerging as an upstate Xerox
copy of Jacob Javits, the most liberal Republican in the
Senate.

In 1970, Goodell got both the GOP and Liberal Party
nominations, and faced liberal Democrat Richard Ottinger.
This left a huge vacuum into which Conservative Party
candidate James Buckley, brother of William F., smartly
moved.

Assessing the field, the Nixon White House concluded that,
with liberals split, Goodell could not win. But Buckley
might. Signals were flashed north that loyalty to the
president was not inconsistent with voting for Buckley.
To send the signal in the clear, Vice President Agnew
described Charlie Goodell to a New Orleans newspaper as
"the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican Party."

The former George Jorgensen, Christine had undergone the
most radical sex-change operation in recorded history.

Liberals went berserk, calling on New Yorkers to rally to
Goodell, who began surging, at Ottinger's expense. Buckley
scooted between them both to win. Hoffman may also. But
even if he does not, Palin, a conservative of the heart,
did the right thing.

And the GOP has been sent a necessary message.

For, according to Gallup, 40 percent of Americans now
identify as conservatives -- only 20 percent as
Republicans. If the GOP is not the conservative party,
it will never be America's Party.

But what does "conservative" mean in 2009? And where do
conservatives come down on the great issues? For what the
right is against -- any repeal of the Bush tax cuts, the
$787 billion stimulus, Obamacare -- is much clearer than
what the right stands for.

In 2010, this may not matter, as the Obamakins rule the
roost and will be held accountable, and Republicans can
unite around what they oppose. Year 2012, however, is
problematic.

Then the party must declare itself. And the reality is
that the GOP remains a house divided.

What, for example, is the conservative view of the war in
Iraq and the Bush economic policies that cost the party
both Houses of Congress in 2006 and the White House in
2008?

Why did President Bush leave with 27 percent approval? Did
Bush policies the GOP once applauded have anything to do
with it?

Was Bush free trade responsible for the decline of the
dollar and the loss of one in four manufacturing jobs?
Is globalization still good for America and NAFTA the
deal of the century?

What is the conservative position on reaching out to
Russia, as BarackObama has done, on bringing Georgia and
Ukraine into NATO, and on canceling that anti-missile
system Bush planned in Poland?

"We're all Georgians now!" John McCain declared. Are we?

What is the party position on a "long war" in Afghanistan?

For if America has soured on the war and opposes more
troops today, will America be enthusiastic about soldier-
ing on in 2012, after 1,000 or 2,000 more American dead
have been shipped home?

Do Republicans support negotiating with Tehran, or cutting
off gasoline and starting up the escalator to air strikes
on Iran's nuclear facilities that are today under U.N.
inspection?

Will the GOP propose to stimulate the economy with tax
cuts after four straight trillion-dollar deficits? Will
the Bush line, "They'll pay for themselves," still be
credible after Bush's deficits?

If the largest federal outlays are for Medicare, Medicaid,
Social Security, defense and interest on the debt,
followed by education, housing, homeland security and
transportation, where would the GOP use the knife to
balance the budget?

According to Gallup, America is moving closer to the
Republican position on regulations, abortion, guns and
union power. But half of all Americans now favor cuts
in legal immigration. Are Republicans willing to call
for a moratorium on immigration to tighten the labor
market and force wages up? Or does the Chamber of
Commerce still call the tune?

Ronald Reagan arrived with new ideas that fit the needs of
his time. Where are the Republican ideas that fit the needs
of this time?
