Bill Spadea Sees Mitt Winning One For The Gipper By Bill Spadea 11/1/12 Our friend Bill Spadea, a frequent guest on New York City area Fox affiliates, who knows politics as a candidate and as the Bush campaign’s national youth director, has an interesting take on what a Mitt Romney victory would mean. Bill’s take is that a Mitt Romney administration will take up where Reagan left off, unlike the three other Republican administrations that have been elected since Reagan left office. Here’s Bill’s take: Mitt Romney is on his way to a decisive victory on November 6th. He’s got momentum and has closed the polling gap in just about every swing state with less than two weeks to go. The incumbent President has failed in three attempts to make a clear case for his re-election. Instead he’s used his time in our living rooms to spout the tired rhetoric of class warfare and the welfare state, while the economy and our position in the world crumbles. One of the signs that victory is near is the grumbling of some movement conservatives in the blogosphere about the ‘moderate Mitt Romney’. They're seemingly resigned to the fact that we’re about to elect another George Bush – either one or two – pick your big government President. Don’t you believe it! It’s true that Governor Romney was elected in liberal Massachusetts and fathered his own version of government health care. It’s also true that he appeals to independents and some disaffected Democrats because he’s not a Tea Party conservative. What’s important now, however, is that he’s going to win. When he does it will usher in a new era of conservative leadership and governance. The Movement comeback began with the congressional victories in 2010 and continued with the recall victory of Scott Walker. Beginning in January 2013, the Republican Party will be dominated by free market, liberty-minded, value-voter conservatives all responsible for the Romney election. In 1980, conservatives were energized with Reagan’s victory, but unfortunately with the selection of Bush as Vice President and the influence in the cabinet by the Neo-Cons, victory was short-lived. Unlike Reagan, Romney looked Right and selected a strong, leading conservative as his running mate: Paul Ryan, whose political identity was based on a budget that is essentially the antithesis of the Great Society. The die was cast immediately upon that decision. Given the prominence of the Republican Study Committee in the House and the rising conservative leaders in the Senate, such as Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Pat Toomey, future President Romney will very likely keep a center-right course regarding nominations and government spending. When Mitt Romney takes office the GOP conferences in the House and Senate will be far more conservative than we've seen in decades – including the 1994 Contract with America Members. It’s taken the better part of the past two years since the 2010 victories to refocus the party on nominating candidates that have two critical qualities. First that they can grasp core conservative principles and second that they can win. Spectacular Tea Party losers, like Christine O’Donnell, were the product of a very angry and motivated grassroots movement focused first and foremost on ridding the GOP of liberal, compromising big government, shoulda-been-a-Democrat office holders like Mike Castle. That was Phase One. Phase Two was to replace them with thoughtful, electable strong conservatives. Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Pat Toomey are all cut from the cloth of reining-in government. They also have enough broad appeal to be elected, in the case of Pennsylvania and Florida, in moderate, swing states. In 1992 I worked for then President George H. W. Bush as the campaign’s national youth director. It was increasingly difficult as the campaign recovered from the President’s debate performances and an administration that saw him go back on his “no new taxes” pledge to energize young conservatives for the incumbent. Higher taxes, new business regulations, increased government spending, were all signs of a weak Republican incumbent governing to the center-left and ready for the exit. The national GOP never seemed to fully recover, nominating moderate Bob Dole in 1996 and then when a Republican regained the White House, eight years of vast increases in domestic spending under George W. Bush, and the nomination of moderate ‘maverick’ John McCain, effectively re-branded our party until the Tea Party re-energized it in 2010. This year however is very different. The party today stands on the precipice of victory, with a united front and a focused clear message about limiting the size and scope of government and bringing about the prosperity that only a free market can deliver. As much as Mitt Romney’s experience is to get along across the aisle, there’s a good chance – despite the negative press surrounding Todd Akin – that the GOP will not only hold the House, but possibly take control of the Senate. We’re potentially less than a week away from having a President who clearly understands the need for free markets and American strength abroad. He’s also unique in his appeal to the center because of his experience and demeanor. Combine that with a conservative dominated House and Senate and you have a true recipe for the final winding down of the 1960’s welfare state. This win and subsequent ascendancy of free market conservatives represented by new Vice President Paul Ryan will solidify the dominance of conservatives at the helm of the GOP for a long time to come. And all this at a time when state voters are throwing out the big government leaders and electing GOP governors like Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Bob McDonnell, and Chris Christie. The future is indeed bright and this year provides the perfect opportunity, not only to win one for the Gipper, but to truly finish what he started when he first ran for the White House more than thirty years ago.
