	What Republican Revolution? by Laurence M. Vance
		Republican control of the White House, we were told, and a larger Republican majority in Congress, were needed to complete the revolution.
		The Republican revolution is a failure, a dismal failure.
		Republicans who voted for Republican candidates hoping that “this time” perhaps the performance of the Republicans might improve are the ones who wasted their vote.

	Republican Party (USA) - SourceWatch
		In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Republican Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Ohio was the eagle, as opposed to the Democratic rooster.
		Republicans also show concerns about having big government in charge of such vital issues as food, shelter, or health care, as they believe the private sector and/or the individual are better suited to control their own lives.
		The Republican Party came to be split along new lines between a conservative wing (dominant in the West) and a liberal wing (dominant in New England) -- combined with a residual base of inherited Midwestern Republicanism active throughout the century.

	[01-18-96] William O. Beeman, Republican Revolution's Eerie Parallels With Iran
		Yet the dynamic that shaped Iran's turbulent and unpredictable revolution is strikingly similar to the dynamic driving the Republican Revolution in the United States.
		Similarly, the Republican Revolution is a coalition of formerly out-of-power politicians and religious leaders who have successfully characterized the government as the enemy -- too liberal, paternalistic and out-of-touch.
		The Republican Revolution will not result in the execution of people, but the equivalent is the "execution" of government programs and departments.

	The Failure of the Republican "Revolution," Part 7
		With the Republican takeover of both houses of Congress in 1994, the Republicans announced that a new "revolution" had swept America, led by Senator Robert Dole and Representatives Newt Gingrich and Richard Armey.
		The Republicans were right about one thing: If the welfare state and the regulated economy had been repealed, it would have been one of the most monumental revolutions in American history.
		Here was where the great Republican "revolution" of 1994 had arrived — the leaders of the "revolution" pleading with the press to report that Republicans were, once again — as always — increasing the size of big government.

	What Republican Revolution? (October 1998)
		Thus, when Republicans called the 1994 election results a Republican revolution, everyone naturally assumed that there was going to be a complete change in the nature of government in America.
		But to gr the magnitude of that revolution, it is necessary to recognize the magnitude of the revolution it replaced - the revolution of 1776.
		With the most hobbled president in recent memory, Republicans had one of the greatest opportunities in political history to overturn the Roosevelt revolution and restore the revolution on which this nation was founded.

	ESR \| November 12, 2001 \| The Republican Revolution has expired
		In 1994, the Republican party swept to power in an unprecedented revolution, taking control of both houses of congress, a majority of governorships and majorities in several state legislatures.
		Republicans in congress folded during a government shutdown, failed to bring an impeached president to account for lying under oath and obstructing justice, allowed the president to abuse the recess appointment process, and failed to stop the uncontrolled growth of government.
		In every election since 1994, the Republicans in congress have lost seats to the point that by 2000 they had lost control of the senate and their majority in the house had dwindled to just 6 seats.

		The Republican Revolution refers to the triumph of Republican Party in the 1994 U.S. midterm elections, which resulted in a net gain of 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and a pickup of eight seats in the Senate.
		Republicans had not held the majority in the House for forty years, since the 83rd Congress (elected in 1952) under Republican Speaker Joseph William Martin, Jr.

	Brazil: Flags of the Republican Revolution (1888-1889)
		It says that in June 1889, members of the "Italian 20th of September Society," a group with substantial republican membership, clashed with monarchists in the streets of Sao José do Rio Pardo, causing troops to be dispatched to restore calm.
		The next morning, 11 August 1889, the republicans seized the building housing the municipal assembly and the jail, hoisting the revolutionary flag of Júlio Ribeiro and proclaiming the establishment of a republic, all to the strains of the Marseillaise.
		Lessa says that the Central Committee of the Republican Party led by Quintino Bocaiuva proposed a design for the national flag similar to the Lopes Trovão flag, with seven green and six yellow stripes and a blue canton bearing a ring of 20 white stars (for the states) surrounding the constellation of the Southern Cross.

	The Badger Herald - Dissecting the Republican revolution
		Coordinated from the center and ideologically pure, College Republicans are independent enough to wage a highly visible insurgency of their own, outside of, but parallel to, the national insurgency.
		It is no coincidence that the revolution arose first, and is still strongest, in rural areas — the “flyover” states are the perfect incubators for revolution.
		The principals of the revolution have not borne the intended fruit.

		Many of the Republicans elected in 1994 pledged to limit their time in office, most often to six years.
		Republicans are demonstrating "a belief that they are going to stay in the majority," says Thomas Mann, a political analyst at the Brookings Institution.
		Republicans cited an "out-of-control" Democratic-led Congress in their 1995 call for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

	AEI - Short Publications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Traditional Republicans, those who learned their conservatism at the feet of Senator Robert Taft and his intellectual progeny, may have been drawn to the idea of a balanced budget by the simple notion that no household--and, by extension, no government--can survive if its outlays consistently exceed its income.
		No, the threat to the revolution comes not from portents contained in the polls but from the fact that strains are starting to appear in the coalition that propelled the Republicans into control of both the House and the Senate in 1994.
		If the revolution's troops fail to march together, they may well lose their majorities in the House and Senate, and theirs may prove to have been a short-lived blip in a trend toward ever-bigger government.

	The failed Republican revolution
		Answer: We found that the Republican members of Congress who took over in 1994 for the first time in 40 years were really more interested in being in power and enjoying the fruits of majority status than in fulfilling an agenda.
		A: One of the Republican leaders said that I was so used to shooting at the enemy that when the Republicans had the ball, I was shooting at them.
		The only reason the Republicans are roughly in equilibrium with the Democrats right now -- and have been for the last several years -- is that, starting in 1980, religious conservatives became a political force and changed the balance of power.

	Some Republican Revolution (December 1997)
		When you consider that the money is taken from people who earned it in order to transfer it to people who did not, the magnitude of the government's imposition is obvious.
		When the Republicans won control of Congress in 1994, their leaders said they had a mandate from the people to drastically reduce the power of government.
		Like the Democrats, the Republicans are career politicians whose chosen line of work is government.

		The aftermath of its demolition, inflicted on Republican lawmakers across the ideological spectrum by voters throughout the country, will be followed, as night follows day, by a titanic shake-up of the party’s lower-chamber leadership.
		The Republican defeat was not as big as that of the Democrats 12 years ago, but the swing away from the party in power was decisive and cannot be interpreted other than as a rebuke to the status quo.
		While Republicans tend to their wounds (whilst inflicting a few more on each other) the Democrats are enjoying their moment in the sun.

	TCS Daily - Republican Revolution Redux
		That he served as the Chairman of the House Republican Conference during the Gingrich era demonstrates that he is familiar with the demands of leadership.
		A Republican Party dedicated to the principles of small government has now embraced large government for at least as long as it can control the branches of that government and use the resources of the state to augment and enhance its own power.
		With this lamentable departure from principles, Republicans who remain faithful to their small government beliefs can be forgiven for wondering why they continue to support of a larger party that seems to have forgotten what it stands for.

	Requiem for a Republican Revolution
		To add to Republican woes, the economy, which started to really click right before the 1996 election, had a very good two years in the 1996-98 period, combining strong overall economic growth with low unemployment and some of the largest gains in real wages seen in several decades.
		Despite the example of the Republican governors who collectively make a good case that the center of gravity of American political discourse is a sort of pragmatic Republicanism, they may simply have too many true-believers to pull themselves back from the brink.
		A successful Republican coalition is therefore going to have to include some of the Democrat's minority/union base, as well as some of the whites scared away by intransigent conservatism.

		But Republicans held their majority in the 1996 elections, a critical first test at the polls.
		But unwilling to abandon the president, Republicans in the House and Senate voted against setting a timetable for the beginning of a troop withdrawal.

		The Republican Revolution refers to the success of Republican Party in the 1994 U.S. midterm elections, which resulted in a net gain of 54 seats in the House of Representatives, and a pickup of eight seats in the Senate.
		With their newfound power, Republicans pursued an ambitious agenda but were often forced to compromise with President Clinton, who wielded veto power.
		The 1994 election also marked the end of the Conservative Coalition, a bipartisan coalition of conservative Republicans and Democrats (often referred to as "boll weevil Democrats" for their association with the U.S. South), which had often managed to control Congressional outcomes since the New Deal era.

	MyDD :: The Southern Undercurrent of the Republican "Revolution"
		Certainly, Republicans have maintained control of the House for the entirety for the past decade, as they have maintained control of the Senate for all but eighteen months during that same time period.
		Combined with a non-southern revolution, being able to pull between seven and nine seats in the south would be enough for Democrats to become the natural governing party again.
		Either way, realizing that the Republican revolution of 1994, which was national in character, has been reduced to a southern Republican revolution by 2005, gives us a better understanding of the current political situation, and serves as a starting point for envisioning a Democratic breakthrough on the magnitude of 1994.

	Reason Magazine - Why Republicans Can't Cut Spending
		With the fiscal 2006 budget completed except for the last formality (the House is expected to make the budget official as soon as it returns from recess), conservatives have declared victory.
		From 1981 through 1998, Republican reformers' thinking was dominated by Dave Stockman (President Reagan's first budget director) and Newt Gingrich (the reform-minded House speaker of 1995 to '98).
		In building their machine, the Republicans had made Democrats hostile and independents suspicious, and the support that remained was far from enough.

		Since 2001, Republicans have passed the pork barrel laden farm bill, an all too expensive education bill, approved a massive new government bureaucracy, the Department of Homeland Security and added an unnecessary Medicare prescription benefit, which according to economist Stephen Moore is “the most financially irresponsible legislation of the last 30 years.
		For example, a true conservative agenda on the pressing issues of immigration reform, the real threats to the English language, or the multi-faceted culture war does not have the support of the GOP leadership in Congress or the White House and is in no danger of being passed.
		Republicans seem more interested in providing voters the security of big government than in effective border security.

	Republican Main Street Partnership
		At that time, there was great concern that a dramatic shift to the right was quickly approaching, given the new congressional leadership.
		The discussion group began to craft a moderate Republican agenda with a fiscally conservative background.
		Addressing a broad spectrum of issues, the Partnership reaches out to disenfranchised Republicans-- people who are distressed by the stridency too-often associated with the Party, and to others attracted by a thoughtful, centrist approach to Republican politics.

		Like many Republicans, I can recall thinking that we could now look forward to changes in domestic and foreign policies that conservatives had yearned for throughout the Reagan years.
		In a collection of commentaries, "The Republican Revolution 10 Years Later: Smaller Government or Business as Usual?" ($13.95, Cato Institute), Chris Edwards and John Samples have gathered together experts on all aspects of government to answer the question posed by the title.
		The Republican product these days is a government that won’t stop spending on failed programs including the Department of Education that its icon, Ronald Reagan, proposed to shut down.

	Which Will Survive: The Welfare State or the Republican Revolution?
		I would like to take a few minutes this afternoon to assess the state of the revolution more than halfway through the first session of the 104th Congress and to speak to the profound and immense challenges now facing the Republican Party as the welfare debate unfolds.
		It was to the Republican Party that the American people turned last fall as they sought someone to help restore the survival values repudiated by the last three decades of government behavior and programs.
		If that occurs, Republicans will have failed, the welfare state will have survived, our pathologies will metastasize, and an America that today stands on the brink of chaos will tomorrow be thrown into an abyss of mayhem.
