Has Big Government Won? Bush-level spending has conservatives increasingly restless. The Republican party’s conservative base is becoming increasingly restless with George W. Bush’s unwillingness to restrain the growth of federal spending in any way. Last week brought another shot across his bow when the Manchester Union Leader, one of America’s most important conservative newspapers, attacked him for caving-in to big spenders. The occasion for the Union Leader’s Aug. 31 editorial was a visit to New Hampshire by newly appointed Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie. According to the paper, Gillespie basically said that the Republicans’ long-time war against big government has now ended. Government won. As the Union Leader put it, “the party’s new chairman, energetic and full of vigor, said in no uncertain terms that the days of Reaganesque Republican railings against the expansion of federal government are over.” nationalreview.com
