It's not amazing. You NeoCons lost.
The Republican Foreign Policy Realists support the treaty and the NeoCons such as yourself opposed it.
It is a big powerplay, the NeoCons trying to assert themselves and say that they control foreign policy positions taken by the GOP.
While I suspect there is more to this, you make a very good point.
Dude, your ignorant use of “neocon” speaks volumes. Which neocon school teaches that we should sh*tcan 70% of what the federal government does and return to strict constitutional conservatism? Which neocon school wants us to get the hell out of the World Bank, the WTO, NAFTA and cut foreign aid down to the bone? Which neocon branch supports my contention that SS and Medicare need to be ditched altogether? Which neocon group is pushing for the re-indutrialization of America instead of the utopian wetdream called “free trade”? And which neocon is out there demanding that we shovel ALL the illegal aliens out the door?
You presume that because I don’t trust Putin or Obama to do ANYTHING in the best interests of the United States, that I’m a neocon? LOL. Try anti-communist.
Hey, pal, your gross and misguided use of the word “NeoCon” as some sort of a pejorative to negatively label the sensible among us who have VERY legitimate reasons to strongly oppose the START treaty as a genuine threat to American sovereignty and national defense makes you sound like nothing more than a DU or Daily Kos troll. Perhaps Mr. Robinson should look into your comments a little further to determine if you should even be posting on Free Republic in the first place.
ROFL!
This was a stinky, lousy give-away by Obama, the most anti-reality President in our lifetimes.
Estaliblishment types that went along were just being kind to the ‘leader’.
If you want to own this turd deal, go ahead. It does nothing for the USA but it does a lot to put Putin and ex-USSR on a pedestal they dont deserve.
And Putin fans are *NOT* for the USA.
