The book plays off the Young Guns policy group, of course, and generally provides a full-length explanation of everything that is good and right in the political world. Unfortunately, it's not light on platitudes. I say this with a heavy heart; these guys are the ultimate conservative trifecta, and I truly believe WFD's entitlement reform plan is the way to save America. Unfortunately, his literary skills may not be.
America is on a dangerous downward path, but its not too late to get back on the upward road to security and solid growth. We have a handful of years to save our children and grandchildren from a life of economic decline and insecurity.....we also have a handful of years to tell them that no, there aren't any monsters under the bed.
Don't get me wrong: the book is full of true statements — statements that need to be heard, and statements that probably should be put down in a book somewhere. These politicians are still rock stars. But talking points do not a novel make. I'm a conservative diehard, and I had trouble getting through it.

Perhaps the most interesting twist to the book was the exclusion of Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference. The book neither mentions him, nor mentions why they don't mention him. The Young Guns and Pence were not willing to comment on the matter yesterday, making the Young Guns / House Republican Conference differences seem all the more dramatic. I'm in the mood for a paintball fight — with red paint ball pellets, of course.
