I don't see many Conservatives here. But I do see Neo-Cons, which are not are nothing of the sort. Just the GOP, I'd actually consider voting for a Conservative....if I saw one.

thank you for your comments Ann Coulter!

I agree with you,I see a lot of neoCONS on here talking their usual insane drivel,but I think there ARE more conservatives here than CONS,they just don't stick out and make asses out of themselves in public like the NeoCONS do.

I couldn't care less who's left, who's right, to tell you the truth. It's the extremists and hate-mongers on both sides who give their side a bad name.

Absolutely! I can have respect for most people's opinions as long as they are their own. But that's not what neocons do. They take their opinions, down to the last detail, from somebody else, and are therefore completely incapable of discussion.

And of course, there are others besides the neocons. Not much is as boring (or less significant) as a person whose opinions you can easily predict.

is this a practice stand up routine. see thats whats wrong people like ou are so quick to knit-pick one side but coast by the side u supposenly represent. i cant help but wonder why u missed all the nonsense threads made by conservatives(democrat or republican).

i dont know about ou but i will never acknowledge the terms liberal and conservative represented as parties their ideas that change periodically

Yeah, but there seems to be a lot of both of them on this board. And if you say something nice about Bush, the Bush-bashers jump on you and call you a neocon. And if you say something nice about Obama, the Obama bashers jump on you and call you a liberal.
