I have already explained where neo-con came from.
I want to know what YOU think it is not what someone else thinks. You brought it up. What do you mean with it.
Kristol is nothing and has no influence on Sarah and never did. He is NOT “tied” to her in any way.
She has not “distanced” herself from either of them. NO one pays any attention to a “neo-con” since it means nothing and never did. What politician is a “neo-con”.
If you are going to bring up terms you need to define them and not take refuge in a “common” view or understanding. Your refusal to do so shows that it has NO real meaning and you have been caught using a media generated term.
Irving Kristol was Billy’s father and he has as little influence on her as his son.
Bill Kristol does seem to want to take some credit for discovering Palin.
But whatever “discovering” seems to have taken place in 2007, after she became Governor, so that’s not really hard. If Bill Kristol was there telling Palin to enter the Miss Wasilla contest, I’d be impressed.
Bill Kristol is a neocon.
I will agree that RINO and neocon are not synonymous.
Neocon is a political philosophy. A RINO can agree with a neocon on foreign policy, and then simply dump the neocon philosophy when it becomes too unpopular (like it has been since 2006).
