I'm hoping Ms Noonan was just having a "bad day" when she wrote yesterday's piece.
She did write that wonderful narration for "The Pitch" (the short film, narrated by Fred Thompson that was shown at the Republican convention right before GWB gave his acceptance speech.)
I expect to see a separation between the Republicans who believe that economic policy should dominate and those who believe social policy should dominate.
Some of us understand they are intertwined.
The country club Republicans are a bit steamed that Bush talked about divine providence and the right of all humans to experience freedom instead of tax cuts and how to grow the economy.
