A Jew that votes conservative.
It’s a leftist term that they use instead of the “K” word.

So then, how is Sarah Palin a 'neo-con?' You've admitted by your own definition that she is not.
Ergo, you lose the debate.

It is “other” in their worldview to not have top down control by “elites”.
It simply baffles them that the Tea Parties exist without a central leadership,
and it infuriates them that Palin gets so much attention and isn’t an “elite”.

Palin is a neo-con because she supports John MCCain...an outright Liberal RINO...over a REAL conservative candidate in the AZ senate race....also Palin is supporting Michael Steele as RNC chair....when conservatives want him out. Palin also supports liberal ideas like Illegal Alien Amnesty and put an windfall profits tax on oil companies in Alaska
Problem with Palin supporters like yourself, you are either too stupid to figure out Palin is not conservative and just another neo-con....or your just another of the drooling two-digit-IQ fools who come over from DU.

if Neocons (or anyone else) controlled Sarah she would not have been out there campaigning for McCain.
To: UCFRoadWarrior
So you're saying that Palin is a "neo-con" (even though she's not, by your own definition), just because she is supporting McCain (who is also not a "neo-con" by your definition).
And this makes sense to you??
John McCain is not a conservative now, and never has been, so therefore cannot be called a "neo-con" by any definition. (The "con" part stands for "conservative")
Your whole argument is filled with gaping holes, and btw, my IQ is Mensa level, so you'd probably better give that one up......especially when you spell words wrong as you attack it. :)

Here we go. And Michele Bachmann is a neo-con 'cause Palin supports her, and Reagan was a neo-con 'cause he selected GHWBush as his veep, yada-yada-yada.
And the GOP circular firing squad goes on ad nauseum.
So, you tell me which Republican passes the "purity" test?
And, oh, by the way, we have to be absolutely certain that our 2012 candidate didn't vote for McCain/Palin in 2008.
tick-tock...

just another of the drooling two-digit-IQ fools who come over from DU.That's right. We're thoroughly disgusted by the love-fest for Palin over at DU.
OR, perhaps they're purposely disguising their admiration for her to throw us off the fact that she's "one of them." (/sarc)

Pretty funny when someone is questioning someone else’s intelligence and types “your” instead of “you’re”.

Welcome Back, Dad
I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
~Michael Reagan, talk show host and son of President Ronald Reagan

I just saw her speech at the SRLC and they have reason to fear her. She is not going to shut up anytime soon.That speech was fantastic. If only she had been free and had enough preparation to deliver such a speech during the campaign. She'll be more than ready next time!
