1. IMO.....

...as soon as he contacts Ted Haggard and gets the name of the place that makes gay men straight in two weeks or less.

2. You mean like Republican Rehab on Randi Rhodes...

Check out this thread on her forum:

Psychology of a neocon, these people are like alcoholics, as they mess up their lives there needs to be a program

Republican Rehab is not too far fetched, my husband had to have an eval after 10 years in a Fundamentalist neocon cult and this what they told me, he has:

1. no sense of responsibility
2. no sense of remorse
3. thinks he is cool because he does not fit in society
4. deep rage temper tantrums
5. fascination with guns
6. frustration that he did not have more children, wanting more children at age 46
7. paranoia thinking the government is doing things to him
8. mentality of a child, unable to think or act for himself without another person helping
9. addictive personality disorder
10. avoidance disorder-fails to act, work or do things
11. possible ADD inability to finish college
12. lying, omission of facts, pretending to have other personalities, intentional to decieve
13. no sense of privacy, thinking other peoples affairs and private relationships are his business, thinking that he has to stop people from writing things about the bible that "are not accurate scripture sense," no sense of family privacy, no limits, no boundaies,sending outside people harass his own family members, visiting people who are unmarried and living together to tell them they are in sin, coaxing a woman to go in front of a group to admit she had an abortion

There is no cure for a neocon right now. Psychology people need to set up rehab clinic for neocons. The current method of dealing with neocon family members is to tell relatives to set limits, to fight back, to refuse to talk to any of their loon neocon relatives or friends, to also accept that the person is a neocon loon and will go on like this forever. The neocon actually cycles, actually repeats same things over and over, as part of the addictive personality, so you see them do the same weird shit over and over.

10. thanks for the link to Randi's board

interesting stuff - but I don't know if I would use the word "neocon" to describe the pathology.

Sounds like a combination of narcissism, sexual insecurity/immaturity (gay denial?), lack of emotional controls -- which rather nicely fit the current Repub. scheme -- but could be triggered by things non-political.

But they now have a "home" with the right wing with its bigotry, misogyny, and violence. If Ike were still the Repub. example and ideal, they would have no political home that seems to be accepted by a goodly segment of the population.

I think it needs a new non-political name -- but I also agree that there needs to be avoidance, escape and management strategies for all who find themselves enmeshed in a relationship with one of these creeps.

3. And his first question will be, "Where are the restrooms?" (nt)

[malaise]

4. No need for that

Larry Craig merely had 'restless leg syndrome' hence his stance.

All he needs is Requip. :rofl:

[grytpype]

5. Maybe he can check in with Ted Haggard.

Actually, it's better not to think about that...

[volstork]

6. Did he find Jesus yet? n/t

[sandyj999]

9. No, Michael Vick has dibs................. n/t

[Stephanie]

7. He'll probably go tomorrow.

He'll be treated for depression and/or prescription drugs.

[thereismore]

8. He would have to admit to being gay, which, in his mind, is devious and can be "cured". nt

[goodhue]

11. I doubt he will ever admit his conduct

much less seek treatment

[Sukie1941]

12. I wonder what was in Craig's pockets

Haven't read or heard that during his interrogation by the police that they did any body searches.

If he had condoms, for example, that would be an eye opener.

For use where? Most likely not at home.

13. Bits of paper he's been picking up all over

:shrug:

14. i think he's going to fade away. he'll quit tomorrow and that will be that.
