A living example of our Uniparty system in Washington, working for Dick Cheney, GWB’s NATO ambassador, then for Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
I'm wondering if the real Trump effect isn't that the voting class is waking up. Here in OH, as an example, there was some real complicated stuff up as amendments to the state constitution and locally some pols and some issues that really needed to be defeated.
The media seem speechless. It looks like the voting public actually read through and past all the garbage and got it right.
The arrogant, elitist, and don't-give-a-damn about little folk pols are mostly beyond redemption. But voters, whose well-being is threatened? I haven't given up hope.
Some of the more hawkish Liberal Interventionists such as Joe Lieberman were often called leftwing NeoCons, which is why NeoCon John McCain and Lieberman were good buddies.
NeoCons and Liberal Interventionists are Idealists. Both are big on humanitarianism and nation building.
But, Liberal Interventionists are multilateralist while NeoCons are unilateralists.
When Victoria Nuland worked for George Bush she was a NeoCon. When she went to work for Obama she was a Liberal Interventionist. Today, Nuland is best known for the Benghazi talking points memo.
Some may recall from 2011, after Obama agreed to intervene in Libya, Bill Kristol(King of the NeoCons) proclaimed Obama to be a "born again NeoCon".
The reality is that the NeoCons were hell bent on unilateraly intervening in Libya, and Obama agreed to intervene only after the multi lateral agreement was reached.
The dirty little secret out there is that if Trump, Cruz, or Rand Paul get the GOP nomination, the NeoCons will be voting for Hillary.
It's no coincidence that this country's military campaigns and foreign policy initiatives all seem to benefit major donors to the Clinton Foundation and real estate investment partners of the Bush family.
Rand Paul is a flaming moron.
You need to focus on the two brothers Fred and Robert Kagan and their wives, Kimberly Kagan and Victoria Nuland.
Kimberly Kagan ran the Institute for the Study of War. Elizabeth O'Bagy worked for Kagan. O'Bagy took McCain to Libya to meet the moderate Syrian rebels and after she was fired for padding her resume, she went to work for McCain.
go away Paul....
Neocon does not mean neo-conservatie. Never did.
There’s only one kind of con she should be.
Fortress America Ron Paul Jr. has spoken. To him Neville Chamberlain would have been a warmonger.
Forum.... forum my @ss... it was three powder puff interviews back to back
You are right Ben. I have a lot of research to do. Thanks for the “heads up.”
