The next neo-conservative strategy

[Brian4Liberty]

Obviously the neo-conservatives are pleased that their neo-liberal comrades are taking over the Obama administration. How much remains to be seen. Obama has already granted forgiveness to Leiberman. What's next? Chucky Schumer for Secretary of Defense? Dick Cheney for Secretary of State? Scooter Libby for head of the FBI?

Anyway, the retaking of the Republican party (under a new, false guise) is a top priority for the neo-conservatives now. It started even before the Primaries were over, but here is what to expect. Keep on eye out for some Republicans to mimic these key issues (none of which the neo-conservatives actually believe in):

- Small/limited government.
- Fiscal responsibility.
- Founding Fathers.
- The Constitution.

Expect these to come up often in the next four years, as they prepare as many candidates as possible for the Republican Presidential Primary. They will attempt to take these on as their own, and steal any Ron Paul thunder. This also explains why they will be allowing Ron Paul to appear on their shows, but he will only be given time to address the above issues.

Obviously these are good ideas, but beware the false/shill candidates to come...

You forgot "health care reform" and "social security reform". These are among the neocons' fave talking points.

Those are the things that didn't work though (on the Republican side)...they are re-inventing themselves, and they will want to disguise their socialist agendas.

(Actually, it will be similar to how they rode Reagan's coat-tails...only this time they want candidates that they create.)

They also want to know how Ron Paul raised money. They think that using the Internet and using some key words might work.

Ironically, the anti-war candidate on the right (Ron) and left (Obama the shill) were able to easily raise money. Of course this is an issue that the neos will never truly back, and they even find it painful to falsely take the anti-war stand. But with the success in easily turning Obama to their aggressive pro-war stance, who knows? Was Obama ever really anti-war?

[Aratus]

very good point about the two anti-war candidates having an internet organization early.
this is as newt gingrich wants to be party chairman so he can zinger howard dean...directly.

We should list people that are not our allies and spread that information for precinct levels.

It is all about checking peoples record to see if they can back it up. Even people running as RP republicans may in act be Obama supporters or mcCain supporters.
Remember when you check peoples record make sure you are not just looking at how a state is under a governor, check to see if that person has been fighting tooth and nail against a strong oposition and failing. It should not be held against them for just the condition of the state.
