So I waited, and eventually, Shepard e-mailed me this passage from her transcript. Keep in mind that this was the basis for her declaration that Ron Schiller had said he “is” a Republican:
“It feels to me as thought there’s a real anti-intellectual mood on the part of a significant part of the Republican Party. It’s not all Republicans. In fact, I grew a Republican and, you know, proud of that, even though I voted most of the time (unintelligible). I like the Republican Party, in terms of fiscal conservatism, but where – and the fact that the Republican Party of old really believed the government has no role in personal lives, family lives, and that government is really about other things. The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people’s personal lives, and very fundamental Christian.”
