What is your definition of a neoconservative?

How do you think they grew to have a significant presence in the Republican Party?

What do you see as the future for neocons?

How do you think they grew to have a significant presence in the Republican Party? Because real Republicans bailed because of them and they were all that was left.

What do you see as the future for neocons?
Extinction!

Well, my definition is usually the technical one: Someone who is willing to use the American military or influence to bring about "democracy" to another sovereign nation.

All Obama needs to be a neoconservative is to be pro-life. He fits in well otherwise.

Oh no. The neocons infiltrated the GOP much more recently than that. A LOT of Republicans opposed FDR's involvement in the War before Pearl Harbor. Robert Taft from Ohio is a good example
