I see no reason to look to the neoconservatives who don't care about domestic economic freedom for advice after they blew our majority.


Something I've noticed over the years here, so many (fine) freepers seem to think that if you don't agree 200% with what I do, you completely wrong on everthing.
Sources on "don't care about domestic economic freedom"?

"they blew our majority."

So they were wrong on how we should've responded after 9-11? How were they wrong?

Their actions speak for them. Big government conservatism. The Medicare drug benefit. Rapidly increasing domestic spending.

They aren't wrong on everything. They favor tax cuts.

They were doing well until they invaded Iraq. In terms of direct damage to terrorists that wasn't going to provide enough bang for the buck even if it had worked out as they had hoped. I never believed the Democracy Domino Theory, and I'm skeptical about the kind of political parties that will probably win in open elections in that part of the world.

The alternative? A containment strategy.
