Kevin Phillips first became well known in 1969 with the publication of his book "The Emerging Republican Majority" which Newsweek described as "the political bible of the Nixon Administration."

After Ronald Reagan's election in 1980, Phillips was generally acknowledged as the Republican Party's principal electoral theoretician. In 1982, the Wall Street Journal described him as "the leading conservative electoral analyst -- the man who invented the Sun Belt, named the New Right, and prophesied 'The Emerging Republican Majority' in 1969."

He has since become a prolific writer and a critic of the current state of the Republican Party. Among his books are "Wealth and Democracy" and "The Politics of Rich and Poor."

"His latest book is "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush." It examines how the Bush family has been consolidating its power for four generations and how the Bushes have been staging their ascent to national power since World War I. "



This is not to be missed. Best of the month, IMHO.

1. He is good and an old time Republican

Bush's party is not what the party was in Ike's days.Be tween the right wing Christians and the war lovers it is hard to find a real Republican.
