I have heard it from several people. some folks on this site, some of the folks in illinois GOP that I know, as well as chris matthews hardball (just saw the ad not the show)
so what is brewing, is it going to be a big tussle for power among these two groups? who are the major players in neo-con side, who are the players in the con side.
is the struggle going to be strong enough that some conservatives may reach across to dems to exertt control on bills etc in congress.
this is meant to be an open discussion, aside from my few questions here address anything on this topic that u see fit.
The "neo-cons" are all administrative figures, they do not exist in the House or the Senate.
I think the recent Bush references to "fiscal conservatism" is a nod to McCain, who is a very traditional Conservative. McCain has lots of chips after the election. Look for him to help set the Legislative agenda...
"so u are saying that no one in the congress can be considered a neo con?"
My understanding is that Feith, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, ie the "Vulcans" were the original "neo-cons". Most in the Senate for example would be considered "conservative", in that they advocate less government, and fiscal responsibility. I think the Senate will set most of the Legislative agenda, not Bush.
