Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Page 10 of 10 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHI N G TON Administratively Confidential March 10, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: H.R. HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN <:i SUBJECT: McCloskey The UPI wire on McCloskey's news conference is attached. Although he will not continue to run for President, his name will remain on 10 ballots as a symbolic protest against the Vietnam War. McCloskey will run for Congress in the 17th District, which is in Santa Clara County, south of his old district. His only competition is Bob Berry, a former congressman from New York, who has almost no chance of beating McCloskey in the primary. The only potentially strong challenger is Dr. Royce Cole. He is young and conservative and could win if Berry were out. Nofziger recommends that Berry be asked out of the race and that money be put into Cole's campaign to accelerate the attack on McCloskey. According to Nofziger March 24 is the deadline for McCloskey to file a list of delegates for the California Presidential Primary. Nofziger thinks McCloskey is just unpredictable enough to file. Even if he doesn't file, Nofziger believes some Democratic group would be well advised to spend the money to get a slate of McCloskey delegates and then run an ad campaign to increase the anti-Nixon vote. Nofziger is trying to find out if this is happening. Magruder believes that the mere fact that McCloskey will probably have an easy primary and general election is attributable to the factionalism in the California Republican Party. In particular, Nofziger has not implemented his assignment to counter McCloskey. • THE WHITE HOUSE y. WASH NaTON ~\t\ Date: Decemb er 20 , 1 9 71 \" TO, H . R.

  • Conservative Movement
    Conservative Movement How did the conservative movement, routed in Barry Goldwater's catastrophic defeat to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential campaign, return to elect its champion Ronald Reagan just 16 years later? What at first looks like the political comeback of the century becomes, on closer examination, the product of a particular political moment that united an unstable coalition. In the liberal press, conservatives are often portrayed as a monolithic Right Wing. Close up, conservatives are as varied as their counterparts on the Left. Indeed, the circumstances of the late 1980s -- the demise of the Soviet Union, Reagan's legacy, the George H. W. Bush administration -- frayed the coalition of traditional conservatives, libertarian advocates of laissez-faire economics, and Cold War anti- communists first knitted together in the 1950s by William F. Buckley Jr. and the staff of the National Review. The Reagan coalition added to the conservative mix two rather incongruous groups: the religious right, primarily provincial white Protestant fundamentalists and evangelicals from the Sunbelt (defecting from the Democrats since the George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign); and the neoconservatives, centered in New York and led predominantly by cosmopolitan, secular Jewish intellectuals. Goldwater's campaign in 1964 brought conservatives together for their first national electoral effort since Taft lost the Republican nomination to Eisenhower in 1952. Conservatives shared a distaste for Eisenhower's "modern Republicanism" that largely accepted the welfare state developed by Roosevelt's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal. Undeterred by Goldwater's defeat, conservative activists regrouped and began developing institutions for the long haul.

  • Patrick Joseph Buchanan, “Culture War Speech: Address to the Republican National Convention” (17 August 1992)
    Voices of Democracy 7 (2012): 47‐59 Miller 47 PATRICK JOSEPH BUCHANAN, “CULTURE WAR SPEECH: ADDRESS TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION” (17 AUGUST 1992) Eric C. Miller Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Abstract: Patrick Buchanan's speech from the 1992 Republican National Convention is frequently cited as a definitive artifact of the culture wars of the late twentieth century. After challenging President George H.W. Bush in the Republican Primary, Buchanan agreed to endorse Bush in exchange for a primetime speaking slot at the RNC in Houston. Having attacked Bush over tax policy, Buchanan drew on social issues to stir passions and unite the GOP behind Bush's candidacy. Keywords: Buchanan, Bush, culture war, family values, Republican National Convention On August 17, 1992, conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan addressed the Republican National Convention, delivering a speech that would long be remembered as the definitive statement of the American "culture war." Diagnosing the national condition as one of spiritual decline, Buchanan neatly divided the American populace into two competing camps— one that was traditional, patriotic, and conservative, and another that was radical, deviant, and fiercely liberal. A vote for George H. W. Bush, Buchanan declared, was a vote for the former; a vote for William Jefferson Clinton was a vote for the latter. If Americans were to emerge from their spiritual descent and return to the "Judeo‐Christian" values upon which the nation was founded, it was vital that they support of the Republican ticket. Couched in the language of warfare, the stakes of Buchanan's vision were unmistakably high. But in order to understand Buchanan's argument—indeed, to understand why he was afforded a speaking slot at the RNC in the first place—one must first understand a few things about his life, career, politics, and the context in which these events unfolded.

  • The Tea Party and American Populism Today: Between Protest, Patriotism and Paranoia
    The American State – symposium Michael Minkenberg The Tea Party and American Populism Today: Between Protest, Patriotism and Paranoia Abstract This article takes a closer look at the Tea Party by adding a transatlantic perspective. Its aim is to show that the Tea Party is a genuine right-wing movement with strong affinities to the Republican Party which revives par- ticular American traditions of conservatism and the radical right. Its support base is not ‘the mainstream’ but a particular cross section of the white middle classes. In this, it is the American mirror image of many European parties and movements of the populist radical right which share the Tea Party’s anti-establishment message, its ultra-patriotism and ethnocentrism. It also shares some of its characteristics with the Christian Right with which it competes and cooperates when aiming at influencing the Republican Party and Washington while marking the merger of the Christian Right with Southern conservatism. Key words: Populism, American conservatism, radical right, Christian Right, Republican Party 1. Introduction “Keep your government hands off my Medicare!” (at a town hall meeting in South Carolina, quoted in Zernike 2011a, p. 135) After more than one and a half years of its existence and unmistakable presence in American politics, and of its accompanying scrutiny, the Tea Party movement remains a deeply ambivalent phenomenon. Ambivalent in terms of its independence as a movement or and its relationship to the Republican party, conservative business elites, or right-wing media; ambivalent in terms of its message, the kind of change it advocates in explicit de- marcation from the change its adherents attribute to President Obama; ambivalent about its social base as a true grass-roots or an elite-driven network of organizations and activ- ists, a middle class or cross-class movement (see Rahe 2011; Rasmussen/Schoen 2010; Williamson et al.

He was the first member of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society to serve in the body.

    FOR RELEASE: MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1996 FORBES DRAWS EVEN WITH DOLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Kohut, Director Robert C. Toth, Senior Associate Kimberly Parker, Research Director Margaret Petrella, Survey Analyst Pew Research Center for The People & The Press 202/293-3126 http://www.people-press.org FORBES DRAWS EVEN WITH DOLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Political newcomer Steve Forbes has moved into a statistical tie with Bob Dole for top honors in the New Hampshire primary. A Pew Research Center poll of 543 likely voters taken January 25-28 finds the millionaire publisher leading the Senator 29% to 24%, but the lead is within the poll's margin of sampling error. Well behind the two front runners are Lamar Alexander (11%), Pat Buchanan (11%), and Phil Gramm (10%), all in a statistical tie for third place. All other candidates register less than 5% support. Despite the big margin that separates Forbes and Dole from the second tier of candidates, voter attitudes in New Hampshire are highly volatile. Only a tiny minority of respondents describe themselves as strong supporters of any of the candidates (Dole 6%, Forbes 7%, Alexander 2%, Gramm 2%, and Buchanan 5%). There is also widespread discontent among New Hampshire voters with the Republican field, which is currently working to Forbes's advantage. A 64% majority of likely voters gave the Republican candidates as a group a negative rating of fair or poor. Forbes leads Dole by a 30% to 22% margin among these disaffected voters, while Dole leads 32% to 26% among voters who view the Republican field as good or excellent overall.
