Christopher Malagisi Urges GOP to Remember the True Lessons of 1994

Posted on | October 5, 2010 | Comments Off on Christopher Malagisi Urges GOP to Remember the True Lessons of 1994

The president of the Young Conservatives Coalition offers constructive criticism at the Washington Examiner:

As Republicans ready to lead at least one chamber of congress in 2010 it would be wise for them to revisit the unfortunate mistakes of the 1994 “Republican Revolution.”  There is no doubt the 1994 revolution changed congress and passed important legislation such as welfare reform and the first balanced budget in over a generation but the revolution was incomplete because it did not accomplish what it set out to do.  In order for Republicans to be successful in the upcoming congress they should learn from their prior mistakes in order to avoid costly setbacks again for their party.
Read the whole thing. Of course, my friend Chris hasn’t listed everything that went wrong for the Republican Party after 1994, but that would be a very long list . . .
