Invasion of the party-snatchers how the holy-rollers and neo-cons destroyed the GOP

Summary: Victor Gold wants his party back. Having served as press aide to Barry Goldwater and speechwriter and senior advisor to George H.W. Bush, Gold is absolutely furious that the Neo-Cons and their strange bedfellows, the Evangelical Right, have stolen his party from him. In this blistering critique not only of the Bush-Cheney administration but also of the Republican Congress, Gold is ready to tell all about the war being waged for the soul of the Republican Party, including the elder Bush's opinion of his son's work domestically and abroad, the significance of the 2006 Congressional election, and how Goldwater would have reacted to it all. Gold reveals, among other explosive disclosures, how George W. has been manipulated by his vice president and secretary of defense to become, in Lenin's famous phrase, a "useful idiot" for Neo-Conservative warmongers and Theo-Conservative religious fanatics.--From publisher description.
