“BTW, I haven’t heard ‘neocon’ used by anyone other than those that hate republicans or any offshoot of republicans.”
I guess you never heard of Lindsey Graham or John McCain, or read what people here think of them.
A large percentage of the Republican officeholders hate the Republican grassroots.
They started this.
They own it now.
McCain is long gone, and Graham is not so relevant. I still use RINO when talking about people like them, but, there has to be a better term for them. Romney, for example, is way left of RINOs.
