Third or fourth book . Something like that. You wrote a book i was interested in because were going to be talking about conservatives and liberals. One of them is you were the coauthor of conservatives in power, the reagan years, 1981 to 1989. Interesting. Were going to talk a bit about conservative politics and liberal politics for that matter. Lets start with this, if we can. Okay. You correct me. You have a thesis for this book, and ill let you describe it obviously, but essentially what you argue in this book is that the two Energy Crises of the 70s, 73, 79, essentially were part of and major factor in the transformation of american politics and, among other things, made americans realize that perhaps government could not take care of them the way we had assumed for a long time, and thus paving the way for a conservative revolution.

And then the republicans standing up. The republicans promised to end the constitution power grab and bring adult leadership and provide the check and balance function. But what have the republicans done instead . Cobbled together a 1 trillion spending bill that makes the National Christmas tree look like Charlie Brown christmas. And pushed on the members desk before they could have read the 1600 page spenda palosa. It was a bill that liberals and conservatives hated.
