Well NeoCons are 1-5 in the popular vote.
Thank goodness Dubya was a wartime president running against the pompous Thurston Howell III or we might be 0-6 in the popular vote since the NeoCons seized the party control.
1-5 at a time when we often controlled the house, senate, more governorships, and more state houses than the Dems. The NeoCons managed to nominate wishy-washy, crap candidates. Now they are pissed because they lost control of the party.
Hey Bill Kristol. WE ARE THE ESTABLISHMENT.
I wouldn’t give too much thanks for that. We may have had 4 years of Kerry instead of 8 years of Obama if Bush lost in 2004.
Actually Dubya surrounded himself with neocon advisors. It’s why he pushed for amnesty. It’s why he wanted to go on the nation building adventure in Iraq. Natan Sharansky’s book ‘ The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror ‘ was seminal in convincing Bush of the ‘Democracy Project’ lunacy.
“In the book, Sharansky and Dermer argue that the primary goal of American foreign policy, as well as that of the free world, should be the expansion of democracy. The book advocates a moral foreign policy based on belief in the universality of freedom and human rights. Sharansky and Dermer argue that nations that respect their citizens will also respect their neighbors. The book is sub-titled, The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror. The authors express passionate and controversial arguments against any compromise on the road to freedom.
It has been read and famously endorsed by former United States president George W. Bush. Other members of his administration, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, have also read the book.”
“George W. Bush offered praise for the book:
“If you want a glimpse of how I think about foreign policy, read Natan Sharansky’s book, The Case for Democracy. ... For government, particularly – for opinion makers, I would put it on your recommended reading list. It’s short and it’s good. This guy is a heroic figure, as you know. It’s a great book.”
