And Kristol laughed and admitted it.

But did you hear what K said about Boener? That was mortifying.

I agree —I don’t think Kristol is really one of us, and I don’t think he likes the Tea Party.

Krauthammer lost all credibility when he became an apologist for John Roberts and his Obamacare ruling.

Kristol—just another fauxcon. Always has been, always will be.

Yep, he goes way back blurring Conservatism so folks don’t know what the heck it stands for, as he passes himself off as our voice.

I’ve more or less despised the guy for several decades now. Kristol

As for Krauthammer, he’s not one of us either, but he is far more capable of stringing a decent thought together and sounding like one of us from time to time. Kristol, not so much.

They both take slots that a really good Conservative should be positioned in. And in this manner, they actually silence our voices. It’s a real shame.

This is a pretty good Socialism-Illustrated view as well, you-tube style (Denish D'Sousa).

Exactly.

They’re both “neo-conservatives.”

While the left likes to hurl around the term “neo-con” very loosely, what they don’t know and don’t admit is that there are real neo-conservatives, and what they really are.

Neo-conservatives are left-wing American Jews who figured out in the early 70’s that their Democratic party buddies are soft on Israel and really don’t like Jews. So these red diaper Jews cuddled up to the Republican party on the subject of Israel.

This has produced strange bedfellows such as Kristol for years - Kristol is no conservative on domestic issues, and certainly not on domestic social issues. Come to think of it, neo-conservatives don’t give a rat’s ass is the US goes broke on military mis-adventures in the middle east trying to triangulate the defense of Israel.

It’s long since past time for the Republican party to eject these clowns and send them packing and get down to what conservatives need to address in the US today - cutting the federal budget, defending the value of the dollar, getting fiscal and monetary policies under control.

If Jews want to defend Israel, then they can pony up the money to do it themselves. It isn’t the problem of the US taxpayer.

Come on folks, think about it. What does Obama mean when he says he doesn’t want to raise taxes on the middle class? It means he doesn’t want to raise taxes on government employees. Who here thinks Obama gives a rat’s behind about an auto repair business or a florist or a C-Store? He doesn’t. Raising taxes on the middle class to him means that a big block of Democrat voters will be going into the 2014 with less money, and they’ll have the Democrats to thank. Don’t even talk to Obama. It’s time his side took a sock in the mouth for voting so stupid. And yes, I’m middle class.

I don't think Krauthammer likes the Tea Party, either.

In fact, I think everybody in Washington hates the Tea Party.

That's fair. I hate them, too.

You are so right. Thanks for saying this. I cannot watch Kristol and CK any longer. They really have misrepresented their intentions. CK is the GOP-e sneaky guy out front, to pull the people the way they want; so clever.
