Is the Neo-Conservative wing of the GOP making a comeback (Iraq, middle east)

[Egbert]

I saw an article recently in the Washington Post (linked below) about how Jeb is bringing back a lot of old hands foreign policy wise.

Jeb Bush’s foreign policy team is eerily familiar, in one Venn diagram - The Washington Post

I have to say coupled with all of the renewed interest by the right in Middle East terrorism recently I wonder if the Neo-Conservative ideology is picking up steam with Republicans again.

You are assuming that it ever went away.

I thought for a while after the disaster that was the last Bush presidency, the Libertarian wing of the party was on the rise. Looks like that might have been a blip.

I think that was just the "Republican" brand being so damaged, people didn't want to associate fully with it. So they called themselves libertarians.

One of the many charms of a Jeb Bush presidency is he will bring in the same Bush team. The folks who brought us the Iraq war will be back with Iraq war part trois. I hate to say it, but I don't exactly hate the idea of rolling into Iraq again. ISIS is f'ng evil. I wouldn't mind rocking their world.

Their candidate is Jeb Bush.

This. Sadly alot of Liberatarians are nothing more than Tea Baggers under another name.

Why not? The neo-liberals are in the WH.

I seriously doubt you understand what Neo-liberalism is, otherwise I somehow doubt you would have posted that. Oh well QFP
