Ed Gillespie the RNC chairman has said Republicans aren't still for limited government...

[The UnVeiled Lady]

Rush was just talking about the RNC Chairman who was interviewed in the Baltimore paper and he has said that the Republican party is no longer for limited government. Now the party will take a poll of what the people want and then will throw money at that special interest.

Let's give this guy a poll!!!

[Pikamax]

If thats the editorial, Rush pretty much wasted his time, there are no quotes, this is all the writer's assertions.

[Dane]

And the Editorial had ZERO Quotes in it from Ed......

Yep, and Rush mentioned that for a millisecond.

[The UnVeiled Lady]

sorry I didn't get the paper right and saw there was another thread about this, I did a search but it didn't include RNC or Ed Gillespies name in the title.

Which ever, if Ed wants to take a poll about what we want, there are the contact numbers and let's give him a poll.

Thanks, I have called and emailed.

[webstersII]

What's there to poll about? He's correct.

We are out of the mainstream here. We are some of the few people in this country who still want smaller gov't.

[Reagan Man]

Looks like Rush did overreact.

There's not one quote from Gillespie, or from anyone else. This is pure hearsay, nothing more. If someone can find actual quotes form Ed Gillespie, PING me. Otherwise.....

funny way to get bigger government but with less tax money coming in.

It's called huge deficits, higher interest rates, and eventually a stagnating economy.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He might as well be in the DFL side of the Minnesota legislature.

[cksharks]

For one thing your title is a lie. He said no such thing. The Manchester Union leader (Who endorsed John McCain in the last election) Thinks that is what he said.They even say that much.They enfer that is what he said.

[swarthyguy]

No big surprise now, is it?

[rwfromkansas]

This is being taken out of context for sure.

Anyone who has read Gillespie on the GOP Team Leader would have a hard time believing this BS.

Give me a break. What a bunch of hooey.

[rwfromkansas]

and my assertion is proved right by reading the article that started this whole mess

I hope some of you will apologize to Gillespie. He is a good guy.

[FreeInWV]

Most likely hearsay. But this is a very good time for Gillespie to get his name and the party position in the news by refuting this. He can be very concise and let everyone know exactly where the party stands.

[RinaseaofDs]

I don't think he overreacted. If only to say to the RNC, "Don't even think about it," it would have been worth it.

[Redbob]

Time for a change at the top.

[taildragger]

Never mind the rnc, if it is true I'm out of here. Libertarians or some other party that believes in limited gov't. is were I'll hang my hat.

[At _War_With_Liberals]

"He can be very concise and let everyone know exactly where the party stands."

Don't hold your breath...

[Dan from Michigan]

That's why I don't give money to the RNC. I have a membership with the state party, and I'm active with the county party, which
A. Is for limited government.
B. Where I can have the most influence with tomorrow's reps.

[Redbob]

It's not merely Gillespies' quote, or alleged quote: it's this entire administration's legislative agenda, from the Dept. of Fatherland Security to the "No Child Left Behind" invasion of state educational systems.

Doesn't matter what was said - judge them by what they DO!

The article was written after a meeting between the Union Leader editorial board and Gillespie, based on what he said.
