The Conservative Revolution

My boss Dick Armey has penned a column for Real Clear Politics that contains advice for John McCain. Hopefully his economic advisers are paying attention.

Sen. McCain has already proved his willingness to take bold free-market stances. His attacks on earmarks, despite ambivalence from party leadership, have shown him to be a leader in the fight against government waste. Who else would campaign against ethanol subsidies while in Iowa? Meanwhile, few have defended free trade as ardently as McCain, even as public support for open trade dwindles. Whatever criticisms some might have of the man, no one could say he lacks political courage.
