Please help me jog my memory and find a link (or several).
I seem to recall a Republican National Committee chairman several years ago saying that there is no place in the GOP for limited government people. I can't seem to find that, however, no matter how I do the search.
Can anyone help me with this?
I’m guessing it was Michael Steele.
Here’s a link to all of their names, if it’ll help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_National_Committee
I’m guessing it was one or more of these people.
54 Lee Atwater 1989–1991 South Carolina
55 Clayton Keith Yeutter 1991–1992 Nebraska
56 Richard Bond 1992–1993 Missouri
57 Haley Barbour 1993–1997 Mississippi
58 Jim Nicholson 1997–2001 Colorado
59 Jim Gilmore 2001–2002 Virginia
60 Marc Racicot 2002–2003 Montana
61 Ed Gillespie 2003–2005 Virginia
62 Ken Mehlman 2005–2007 Washington, D.C. Stepped down at end of 2006
63 Mel Martinez 2007 Florida Served with Mike Duncan as general chairman.
63 Mike Duncan 2007–2009 Kentucky Senator Mel Martinez served with Duncan as general chairman before stepping down in October 2007.
64 Michael Steele 2009–2011 Maryland Only African-American Chairman.
Jan Larimer served as co-chair.
65 Reince Priebus 2011–present Wisconsin Sharon Day serves as co-chair.
More suspects here....

No, it was earlier than Steele.
It would be someone like Fahrenkopf, Gillespie, Mehlman, that era.
Inigo: Fezzik, jog his memory.
Fezzik: I’m sorry, Inigo. I didn’t mean to jog him so hard.
I think it’s Ed Gillespie...this may be of help....

I remember hearing that.
TBP, was that what you were referring to?
There’s no room in my life for the GOP-e.
That is helpful, but I don’t think it’s quite what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Gillespie runs in my mind, but I recall him saying so more directly.
So I tried the search another way and guess what happened!
