Also I wonder why the Union-Leader is afraid to publish the whole interview.

Just the straight transcript of the interview.

"These questions have been decided." (years ago)

And the socialists won the day!(and the month,year,and decade)

You know it, D. Those slick lawyers have done us in.

This does not quite pass the smell test with me either. Pay close attention to this paragraph...

“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.

Unless there is a typo, everythinng after "was his response" is paraphrasing by the paper, due to the lack of quotation marks.

That said, I'd feel a heck of a lot better hearing Gillespie clarifying this himself.

Why doesn't Gillespie and the RNC move to either dispell or confirm this?

The evidence bears out what this editorial suggests, that the doors to the treasury are flung wide. It's up to Gillespie, after one news cycle, to set the record straight.
