RE:"The neocons have a simple tactic of declaring a crisis and then demanding unity. The crisis may be moral, fiscal, or terrorist but they trot it out whenever someone strays. So long as McCain falls for it over and over the neocons will always be in charge and he will always be bitter that he was forced to play the good soldier again. The neocons are not going to volunteer to go quietly in the night. A sharp tounge does not make him less of a wimp." Sounds like general political practice. That and "divide and conquer". In the case of the Dems, the crisis is Bush, they must unify and defeat him.

I imagine from his POV, he sees the neocon issue as a temporary problem that will get rectified in the future. The neocons have a simple tactic of declaring a crisis and then demanding unity. The crisis may be moral, fiscal, or terrorist but they trot it out whenever someone strays. So long as McCain falls for it over and over the neocons will always be in charge and he will always be bitter that he was forced to play the good soldier again. The neocons are not going to volunteer to go quietly in the night. A sharp tounge does not make him less of a wimp. You're right if he disagrees with the neocon philosophy. After reading Ten's post and another article, I am not sure he does. And if that's the case, then he's standing up for what he believes. Like with Powell, I think the general population tends to read character traits into both men that are not there. And I am beginning to believe they are more like Bush than we think. And frankly, I don't give a damn what they think......its time to get them out period. ted
