It's a little more involved than that. Most of these "neo-conservatives" aren't really conservative at all, which explains why this dope Podhoretz has been shilling for Rudy Giuliani as the Republican candidate of choice in 2008 -- even to the point of "jumping the shark" last week when he suggested that a radical left-wing ticket of Giuliani-Lieberman would be the ideal GOP ticket.
If you go back through the writings of people like Podhoretz, Kristol, etc., you'd probably be quite surprised about how little (if anything) they've written in support of most of the issues that define conservatives in this country.

I'm not sure, but I think you might be mixing up the father (Norman Podhoretz) with the son (John). The former is no dope.

Excellent points. Much more eloquently stated than my definition in post 104.
