hmmmm. *checking notes* where? oh, here. oh, ummm, yeah.

You did say that, didn’t you?

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Yeah, let the pro-amnesty RINOs go off and form their own party — the Turd World Party.

Their logo...

I used to be accused of being a bushbot. And I probably was one. I defended his fiasco choice of HM for supremes. On the grounds of giving W the benefit of the doubt.

I took a little bit of shiite for saying it was a game of "old Maid."

I’ve given up trying to understand what people mean when they say neocon.

I don't blame you. You have so many self-styled political pundits redefining the term or worse; denying that there is such an animal or claiming that it applies merely to a half dozen New York intellectuals. It is the hallmark of liberals to run away from the labels that actually indicate where they stand. The neocons being liberal republicans do the same. As for Israel, I'm not a big supporter of foreign aid for anyone. Since that includes Israel, I have had to deal with charges of anti-Semitism for not wanting to carry water for those guys either.

I disagree with you on that one. I believe they are the ones carrying water for us. Canaries in a mineshaft, my friend. Canaries in a mineshaft.

Irving Kristol coined the term "NeoCon" to describe his views and that of other former liberal democrats. They did not want to be confused with small government conservatives, whom they detest.

Their preference is for a big, high-speeding, all-powerful national government with a powerful military that goes out into the world and forces other governments to bend to our will (nation-building).

They are essentially fascists but without the anti-Semitism. Being largely Jewish, they are big supporters of Israel

[TradicalRC]

Are they?

Yup.

Fine. Let someone else feed the canary.

Here's a pretty good description of neoconservativism. It's Wikipedia, so I take it with a grain of salt, but it's interesting if you have doubts about what the word meant, which I did.

[samtheman]

that someone would be me

as a voter, i support military aid to Israel

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Not right now, please!

A Third Party (Perot) is what gave us eight ungodly years of the first Clinton! I can’t stomach even four more of his Bridezilla!

[Old Professer]

Rather like compromise; it’s not so much a word as it is an emotion. (death rattle)

George Bush = The democrats secret weapon.. most republicans are STILL in denial or oblivious about him.. American conservatives are on their way to becoming like Canadas conservatives.. Which are not conservatives at all..

[hosepipe]

The Bushbots seem to be waiting for the lights to go out so they can scamper squeeking like the democrats at heart they are..

They are pretty quiet here on FR.. Fortunatly some were taking notes and names..
