Sorry John, the so-called neo-conservatives are still around in the D.C. area as they have been for decades. Of course neoconservatives aren't conservatives at all, but militarists seeking an ever expanded military establishment and more wars to justify it. On the other hand there are also plenty of liberal Republicans still in the party establishment. Would someone please explain to me why flaming liberal Republicans are called "moderates."? The liberals and militarists keep shoving in the face the demonstrably false myth that real conservatives and libertarians can't win. Just as they have been since they tried to block the nomination of Barry Goldwater. There is a really big fight going on for the soul of the Republican Party.

Most Republicans are not conservatives and do not have a clue what our founding fathers were doing or why. They are just pee their pants excited that they have been elected into a powerful position in our federal government. They are full of themselves.

You just described all the politicians in Washington, Democrat or republican. I do not use the terms liberal and conservative. I voted this year for the lesser of 2 evils. Not so much FOR Romney but AGAINST Obama. I am leaning more right, and this is definitely not how I was for 49 of my voting years. Only reason for this is because I disagree with the left's platform lst election and this election. Neither party defines their plan for the next 4 years, so we just coast into oblivion as a nation??? Unless it furthers their cause, no one really cares about us peons and what is best for our nation.

The neocons do the thinking for the Republican leadership on all matters of strategy and morality in politics. Boehner wouldn't take a dump if the neocons told him not to, and if they told him to do so, he would strain for hours. Neocons want tax increases, because paying higher taxes is a sacrifice. Neocons believe that the little people have to be forced into sacrificing for the "collective self," i.e., the state, because that is the only way to preserve the social order. What they...
