The Future of the Republican Party

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
President George W. Bush’s former speechwriter, Michael J. Gerson, shares his vision for the Republic party. He says the party must adopt what he calls "heroic conservatism" with more focus on promoting human rights and ending poverty. Gerson’s new book is Heroic Conservatism: Why Republicans Need to Embrace America's Ideals (And Why They Deserve to Fail If They Don't).

Heroic Conservatism is available for purchase at amazon.com
