This is Frank Luntz. A couple of points:
1) I did NOT support John McCain in 2000. I didn't back any of the GOP candidates that year.
2) I am NOT advocating a more liberal GOP. Quite the opposite. I am quite surprised at the interpretation that ending earmarks and balancing the budget without tax increases is "liberal." Hardly.
3) I am advocating a greater focus on "reform" and less overt political and ideological language. The best way to promote your principles is not to hit people over the head with them.
4) I am a communications advisor, not a policy wonk. If you want more of an agenda, you'll get it from Newt Gingrich. But a re-focus on the policy agenda from 1994 would be a great start.
This is the Washington Post Blog. I think you have a greater responsibility to engage in a more appropriate and a more accurate exchange.
