He kind of looks like Teddy Roosevelt.

One more neo-con to divide the vote.

How well did that work for us in 2008? :confused:

The neoclowns (http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=98397) are all excited about it. All they care about is war, war and more war.

And lately, when they're wetting their panties over Islam and the dangers of Sharia law, I link to this piece by Grigg (http://www.lewrockwell.com/grigg/grigg-w164.html) and remind them (http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=98408) that both the Banksta bailouts and their glorious nation-building wars have subsidized and helped enshrine Sharia law into the Iraq and Afghanistan Constitutions, and what I get in return (http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=98359) is :::crickets:::.

The useful idiots can't handle the truth.

Are you ready for President John Bolton? (http://hotair.com/archives/2010/08/30/are-you-ready-for-president-john-bolton/)


He’s not saying he’d run to win, as I read him, rather that he’d run to make sure that foreign policy features prominently at the debates and to drag the big cheeses like Romney and Palin to the right. Although (a) I doubt there’s much daylight between the ‘Stache and the cheeses on most FP issues (his enthusiasm for attacking Iran’s nuclear program might be, shall we say, somewhat more robust than theirs), and (b) in theory Ron Paul’s presence at the debates last time should have forced the field a bit to the left on war and a bit to the right on spending and yet I can’t remember any of them saying or doing anything differently to pander to his followers. Where a neoconservative dark horse candidacy might become important (whether it’s Bolton or Liz Cheney or someone else) is if Afghanistan deteriorates further and the right starts to split on whether to stay or go. The fissures are already there per the dust-up between Bill Kristol and Ann Coulter over Michael Steele’s remarks on the war; another 18 months of stalemate in theater will open the rift wider, and then maybe you end up with strong hawks and doves jumping into the race in order to try to drive the party platform. (1968 redux, except on the GOP side this time?) That’ll be a nightmare for the party, as not only does it risk overwhelming the anti-statist message they plan to campaign on but, by driving a deep wedge between neocons and paleocons, it leaves someone feeling alienated and at risk of staying home — or even backing a third-party candidate. Presumably antipathy to Hopenchange on the right will be at such a fever pitch by 2012 that those differences will be put aside for the greater good by November, but who knows?

So Neocon foreign policy is far right now? Must be why O Duce is continuing/expanding their glorious nation-building wars. Because he's so "conservative."

America: It's the economy, stupid!

Neocons: WAR!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all they are about. Is there really a "split"?

: "Where a neoconservative dark horse candidacy might become important (whether it’s Bolton or Liz Cheney or someone else) is if Afghanistan deteriorates further and the right starts to split on whether to stay or go. The fissures are already there per the dust-up between Bill Kristol and Ann Coulter over Michael Steele’s remarks on the war; another 18 months of stalemate in theater will open the rift wider, and then maybe you end up with strong hawks and doves jumping into the race in order to try to drive the party platform."

I think that the neocon split is a joke, because they are all united, Kristol, Coulter and the rest of them, on bombing Iran.

I'm guessing that 'withdrawal from the U.N.' won't be part of his platform?

The only thing that will save him when he falls flat on his face is that giant mustache.

he could be president of the beltway. most of them are probably impressed with his weenie belligerence and contempt for US tax payer dollars/ lives/ time. that's what they're all about

So instead of having someone pretend that they are fiscally conservative and sympathetic to our foreign policy problems, we have an outright globalist running for office?

Hell, it's about time.
