Bill Kristol. He was for INSANE McCain in '00

The same McCain that the demoncrats wanted to run with Kerry.

That about sums it up.

Anyone who thinks that Kristol, Krauthammer, Bennett, and their ilk wouldn't turn with ferocity on Bush in a heartbeat were he to take a more traditional conservative Republican line vis a vis foreign wars is dreaming.

Anyone who thinks that these guys will support a real conservative in 2008 is dreaming even more. Novak's strain of conservatism is more rooted in the Republican base than is Kristol's. That doesn't mean we shouldn't work together -- we should. But enough with the attempts by neoconservatives to do Stalinist purges of those they don't agree with.
