"NeoCons = conservatives/Tea Party

Actually, the term NeoConservative aka NeoCon was coined by the dems in the 1970s as a derogatory term of contempt to describe a group of liberal Jewish foreign policy hawks who left the democratic party to become conservative Jewish foreign policy hawks.

The leader of the group at the time was Irving Kristol(father of Bill Kristol) and he accepted the term to name his group.

Today, the group NeoCons includes other than Jews and they are still hawks but are also known as unilateralists, idealists, or empire builders, to name a few. One of their organizing principles is the Wolfowitz Doctrine.

On domestic issues they are sometimes called "big government" conservatives or compassionate conservatives.

And yet the very Republicans you continually cite and applaud for supporting this horrible “treaty” are ALL considered big government “conservatives” or “compassionate conservatives”. That would make them “NeoCons” by your OWN definition. But you then turn around and lament these same people for being “realists” when in actuality they are doing nothing more than selling the sovereignty and national defense of this great country down the river, rather than wait until the next Congress is in session to analyze the treaty more thoroughly so that it gets done right.

Your self-contradictions are only making you further twist in the wind as you shamelessly continue to expose your anti-conservative colors.
