There do not seem to be many 'Gil Carmichael and Thad Cochran' conservatives remaining in this modern-day GOP., Readers will be treated to Bill's detailed and thoughtful descriptions of a period when Mississippi emerged from the vestiges of an openly segregated society., Bill Crawford's 'Lament' is a cautionary tale of the failure of Republican leaders to get Mississippi off the bottom of every national metric in education, healthcare, and other essential services needed by all people in our state. It is also a clarion call for all Mississippians to heed his cry for responsible leadership, Republican and Democrat. A must-read for leaders in government and business and for all of us who want Mississippi to succeed., A Republican's Lament mentions a lot of names of people I think about often and miss a great deal.

There do not seem to be many 'Gil Carmichael and Thad Cochran' conservatives remaining in this modern-day GOP.--Brian Pugh, author of Chaos and Compromise: The Evolution of the Mississippi Budgeting Process Bill Crawford has preserved a pivotal era in Mississippi political history, and we are in his debt for it.

Synopsis
Bill Crawford thought his modern-day Republican Party would lift Mississippi off the bottom, a notion born of Gil Carmichael's vision for good government conservatism. A Republican's Lament tells of Crawford's dedicated efforts to implement Carmichael's vision, his keen observations of Mississippi's struggles, and his critical commentaries over the past half century. For more than fifty years, few people have had a better view or a wider variety of roles in the ups and downs of Mississippi and its communities than Crawford. The Canton native has been a daily newspaper reporter, a crusading small-town weekly editor, a Republican Party leader, a reform-minded Republican state representative, an influential Institutions of Higher Learning board trustee, a successful banker, a community college administrator, a state economic development official, a community development leader and nonprofit founder, a mentor of developing community leaders, and a syndicated political columnist. From Gil Carmichael's vision for good government and Haley Barbour's pragmatic conservatism to starve the beast and truth management politics, poverty and the Cycle of Prosperity, Faulkner's curse and other behavioral shadows, the Ayers case, and more, Crawford weaves a unique and eventful story about his home state's enduring dilemmas and a clarion call for its better possibilities., Bill Crawford thought his modern-day Republican Party would lift Mississippi off the bottom, a notion born of Gil Carmichael's vision for good government conservatism.
