That was actually a rather interesting article, not that anyone else read it.

Wrong. Not all Conservatives vote for a Republican. Not all of us are held to a letter behind a name. Some of us actually look at what the candidate has done, what that candidate stands for, and makes an informed decision. We don't just blindly pull the lever for a letter. Neo Cons do that, a lot of progressives do that. But true Conservatives, and old school Democrats, before their party was taken over by a bunch of children, do look at each individual candidate and base their votes on the candidate, not letter.

The other major party are the Democrats. They ain't got a rational option unless they vote 3rd party.

A true neocon would vote for Hillary over Rand.

I guess that is true, there are plenty of conservatives that don't vote, but those that do show up to vote will always vote for the Republican party, and so will the NeoCons because both are Republican voters. I am sure you could find the random Con or NeoCon that doesn't vote Republican, like yourself as you seem to be claiming, but the general voter that classifies as those two mindsets will vote Republican.

So tell us, when was the last time you voted for a candidate that had a D after their name?

And yet those that classify as NeoCons vote Republican, heck, even politicians within the Republican party you guys will call NeoCons.

Reminds me of a story I saw a few years ago in a magazine. An NCO attended an 'instructor's school.' He said they were taught that the proper way to erase a blackboard/whiteboard was with up-and-down strokes, not side to side. The reasoning was that side to side strokes could cause a female instructor's breasts to jiggle, and we can't have that. So everyone was to use up-and-down strokes.

story from a career Army NCO who recently completed his instructor's course at an Army training center...quick, get the PC Gender Police... "In the instructors training course, we were taught that the proper way to erase a chalk board is with vertical strokes, not horizontal strokes. Horizontal strokes may cause a woman's breasts to jiggle."

I was in an infantry unit but I know from friends in other units with females the pregnant ones still had to do modified PT up to a certain gestation point.

It makes sense for the PT instructors to do this, as humiliating as it may be.
