QUITE a few Republicans in Washington are scampering around trying to figure out what the GOP should stand for in the post-Bush era. Despite all the data, these hand-wringers still wander around in an ideological fog.
Last year, under the direction of Haley Barbour, the Republican National Committee (RNC) sent out more than 800,000 survey questionnaires to party donors, elected officials, and grassroots activists nationwide. To the RNC’s surprise it received more than 130,000 responses. And while these findings aren’t scientific, they certainly track what we’ve found in our professionally administered polls: that the Republican Party is the party of conservative principles.
