Newt: The Era of Reagan is over. FUNG!

It has been over since 1988.

Reagan put us back on the right track. GHWB, Clinton, Bush II and Obama have all pulled the train off the tracks. We can be nostalgic about the Reagan Era, but it is over. We need a new era and Reagan isn't going to lead it. He set the example for the next Conservative Era.

[Reagan Man]

This has nothing to do with nostalgia and shouldn't. It has everything to do with politics and the conservative agenda. If the era of Reagan is over, then the era of conservatism is over as well. Its akin to saying the era of the Founding Fathers is over or the era of FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society are over. I don't buy it for a second.

Reagan laid the foundation for conservatives to follow. So far no one has stepped up to grab the mantle of leadership. We just need to find the right candidate to sell it to the masses as Reagan did so well. Reagan may not be leading the charge but his voice can still be heard from beyond the grave. Conservatives can ignore Reagan at their own peril.
