3. Hillary is a neocon. I no longer feel she belongs in the same party as me.
Democrats do not saber rattle and threaten to obliterate countries.

We just don't.

4. o Yea sorry...
I forgot neocons want UNIVERSAL health care, and an end to the war in Iraq, and an end to big tax cuts for oil companies, and and end to the Bush tax cuts, and a growth in Green Collar jobs, and a logical, international approach to global warming, and a sensible approach to trade deals, and an end to No Chile Left Behind, and a progressive path to citizenship for immigrants...I guess I just forgot that that is what neocan want. It's time to stop this vitriol. If we want to debate the merits of Democratic candidates thats fine. But stop senseless name calling.

9. Neoconservatives come out of the liberal tradition...
"New" conservatives initially approached this view from the political left. The forerunners of neoconservatism were often liberals or socialists who strongly supported the Allied cause in World War II, and who were influenced by the Great Depression-era ideas of the New Deal, trade unionism, and Trotskyism, particularly those who followed the political ideas of Max Shachtman. A number of future neoconservatives, such as Jeane Kirkpatrick, were Shachtmanites in their youth; some were later involved with Social Democrats USA.

Some of the mid-20th century New York Intellectuals were forebears of neoconservatism. The most notable was literary critic Lionel Trilling, who wrote, "In the United States at this time liberalism is not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition." It was this liberal vital center, a term coined by the historian and liberal theorist Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., that the neoconservatives would see as threatened by New Left extremism. But the majority of vital center liberals remained affiliated with the Democratic Party, retained left-of-center viewpoints, and opposed Republican politicians such as Richard Nixon who first attracted neoconservative support.

8. Load o' crap.
And you shovel it into your gut with both hands.

They are two peas in a pod and the only decision is black man or white woman.

7. In reality though... I think we should act as if that rumor was true
and start voter registration drives in 50 States

with an emphasis on outreach to progressives, independents and previously non-voting cynics

that's my plan anyhow
