"We asked him three times to explain why President Bush and the Republican Congress have increased discretionary non-defense spending at such an alarming rate, and why the party has embraced the expansion of the federal government’s roles in education, agriculture and Great Society-era entitlement programs. “Those questions have been decided,” was his response. The public wants an expanded federal role in those areas, and the Republican Party at the highest levels has decided to give the public what it wants."

Apparently, conservative GOPers who believe the Federal Leviathan should be looking to devolve power to States, Localities, and Individuals are being shunned by the Republican Party, and the Pubbies have become DemonRATlite!! This is a prescription for disaster at the polls, imho, as Dubyuh's lookin' more and more like his MilquetoastModerateDaddy every day!!

SHEEEEESH...I've never felt this disconnected from the GOP...MUD

Uh mud, if you look at the article there are no quotation marks before we.

All that is in quotation marks are phrases.

The Union Leader has not released the uneditied transcript.

Which they should have done in the first place and not first make an editorial with no quotes and a second one where the questions are not in quotes and only partial phrases are in quotes.

But what the hey I guess you don't care that the Union-Leader is practicing NYT/60 Minutes journalism.

Also remember that Ed Gillespie was an architech of the "Contract with America".
