I am so ‘proud’ to live in a state with ‘progressives’ like the author. I am sure he will have a great time getting lessons from Congresswoman Gwen Moore on how to slash republican get out the vote vehicle tires, and from Cindy Sheehan he can get some lessons on dealing with Hugo Chavez. Should be a great time at Fighting BOb Fest..Glad I will be nowhere near Baraboo this weekend.
Ed used to be head of the Football Players Union when they nearly destroyed the game with their strike .....But out of his insantiy he did come up with a good idea. PETRAEUS FOR PRESIDENT does have a ring to it I think. We need a no nonsense kick ass kind of guy to deal with the dimmies like Pelosi and Reid
Maybe. IMHO, It might be the code for a formerly liberal Democrat who suddenly woke up and discovered his politically correct old Left former fellow travelers were hot to sell Israel down the river.
So maybe it's more accurately code for "a Jew who got the wake-up call." In my limited experience, the classic Republican social and limited government agenda may not immediately be their preferred tonic. However, I am a "big tent" Republican and for Israel, so they're very welcome while we work on whatever's left of their formerly Liberal tendencies.
And OTOH, what really matters is winning the fight to the finish against the present phase of the eternal Muslim drive toward conversion of the world. Survival first. Politics later.
Next, Larry Craig will claim he was misrepresented, and that he was actually taping his foot...
Second time in a week I've heard this argument. Are there ANY dims who learned that in 1952 a former general was elected president from the Republican party?
What the hell is a Neocon? You are either conservative, or not. These jerks simply want to drive a wedge between any conservatives. The Paleo Cons that they love were Israel haters (Jew Haters)—that is the distinction...
Moving target.
Today, a neocon is a warmongerer who opposes an immediate, total withdrawl from the mideast.
It's a fascinating arguement isn't it, which GENERAL was more suited to replace the HABERDASHER then occupying the White White House, base on dress.
Me, I'd probably have supported MacArthur.
He was a neocon, after all.
If you look at the history of most of the Jewish neocons usually cited, look to the 80s when we had a neocon President, you'll see that the wakeup call related to the spread of communism, not Israel. This is something that's difficult for the nutballs to work into their conspiracy theories, so they ignore it. You're correct that social issues aren't a factor, it relates largely to foreign affairs.
BTW, IMO conservative is losing it’s meaning as well.
What, no BARF ALERT?
I presume you're not familiar with Berkley-Midwest, but you'll know next time. :>)
And should they be reading this, I commend them for being one of the few (only?) Progressive (capital P, didn't call you guys liberals) publications not to ban posting of their content on FR.
I agree with them on a national issue.
Time for the tinfoil. Break out the secret decoder rings:
“Alpha, Popcorn, Dogfight, Briarpatch, Zulu, Zulu, Seven. That is all.”

Paging Ed Garvey.
You forgot your brain.
We have it here in lost and found.
In a match box.
No. That’s just Ed, LOL! We’ve been mocking him for years.
But correct me if I’m wrong:
EVERY STINKING MEMBER OF CONGRESS voted to approve General Petraeus, did they not?
A MAJORITY OF CONGRESS voted to approve additional FUNDING to support the surge, did they not?
WTF is WRONG with these LibTards? (That’s rhetorical, of course!)
taping our phones????
The horror, the horror
That must be a new form of torture by the eviiilllll neo-cons..... you reach for your phone and discover it’s wrapped in tape and you can do anything with it.
This Ed Garvey is a genuine drooling moonbat.... so how did he manage to come up with such a good idea.....
DAVID PETRAEUS FOR PRESIDENT!!
I joked with John Bolton one time that Neo Con is a word invented to cover up the fact that liberals have not had a foreign policy for 40 years.
He laughed.
He also denies that he is a neo con.
So today it means that, and tomorrow it will mean whatever is convenient? Sorry, I can't buy that. Let's leave relativism to the liberals; they do it well.
Not to mention that your definition uses 'warmonger' in an EXTREMELY broad sense.
I'm not particularly thrilled with the war as it is, but an "immediate total withdrawal from the mideast" would be a disaster in every sense. And if Dr. Paul actually thinks that 'total withdrawal' is a good idea, then he's quickly finding his way off my short list of preferred candidates. If that makes me a 'neocon' by your definition, so be it.
