From The American Spectator, March 2011, Jeffrey Lord: The Levin-Wehner Reagan-Bush Debate
"Republican moderates had controlled the party effectively since 1928. The structure of the party was filled with what Barry Goldwater would come to call proponents of the 'dime store New Deal.' . . . The Bush family was, famously, not on Reagan's side. . . . In practical terms this meant an underlying acquiescence in the principles behind the progressive movement and the New Deal." [rdbrewer]
