Bachmann Iowa Chair Defects to Ron Paul…Hours After Appearing With Her at Campaign Stop

INDIANOLA, Iowa (The Blaze/AP) — Michele Bachmann‘s struggling presidential campaign saw her Iowa chairman defect Wednesday to rival Ron Paul’s side, an embarrassing blow that came as some called for her to leave the race to free up her supporters for other candidates.
Hours after appearing with Bachmann at an event, state Sen. Kent Sorenson gave his endorsement to the Texas congressman at a Des Moines rally. Sorenson said he resigned from Bachmann’s campaign to back Paul, whom he called the most conservative of the top-tier candidates.
In a harsh statement, Bachmann said Sorenson made the jump after “he was offered a large sum of money to go to work for the Paul campaign.”
“Kent said to me yesterday that `everyone sells out in Iowa, why shouldn’t I,’” she said in a written statement. “Then he told me he would stay with our campaign. The Ron Paul campaign has to answer for its actions.”
Sorenson announced the switch during a Paul veterans rally in Des Moines. He didn‘t immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press to address Bachmann’s charges that the move was financially based.

“The fact is, there is a clear top tier in the race for the Republican nomination for president, both here in Iowa and nationally. Ron Paul is easily the most conservative of this group,” Sorenson said in a statement. “The truth is, it was an excruciatingly difficult decision for me to decide between supporting Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul at the beginning of this campaign.”
Bachmann has been on a frantic 99-county push across Iowa in an effort to recover from the slide that followed her Iowa straw poll victory in August. Paul was a close second in that contest.
Earlier in the day, two influential pastors said they wanted either her or former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum to drop out of the running to keep evangelical voters from splitting their support. Bachmann insisted she would see the Iowa caucus campaign through.
Sorenson, who has strong ties to Iowa’s tea party, was one of Bachmann’s earliest public supporters and joined her for an afternoon stop at a Pizza Ranch restaurant in Indianola. Standing by her side, he declined to speak to the crowd there, citing numbness from dental work.
He announced his switch to Paul at the rally just hours later.

“When the Republican establishment is going to be coming against him [Paul] over the next few days, I thought it is my duty to come to his aid,” Sorenson told the crowd.
According to the Des Moines Register, Sorenson said he didn’t make the final decision to switch camps until Wednesday evening.
He told the newspaper he drove to Paul’s 7 p.m. event, called a Paul staffer and asked, “Do you guys want me on board?”
“[The staffer] walked out to the parking lot and then I walked in with him,” Sorenson said.
State Sen. Brad Zaun, who had been Bachmann’s Iowa co-chairman, was named full chairman after Sorenson’s resignation.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 12:28amI support RP but accepting this guy without a waiting period to vet him and his intentions was just bad form. If he really wanted to join Rp’s camp, it could have waited a few days. Who knows, maybe he’s a spy?
If the guy is just a bandwagon jumper, joining whomever he feels is the top dog atm, then Bachmann really isn’t losing much and his defection may be a blessing in disguise for her.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 12:44amBachmann just never got the donations from supporters or the volunteers she needed to run a top notch campaign. If you agree with her or not, you have to give credit, she worked darn hard in Iowa with very little money and almost no ground support. If only she would have had Romney’s money she could of bought her people on the ground.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 1:28amI was a Bachmann supporter early on, but she gradually turned me off. I watched her tonight being interviewed ion the Hannity show to giver her another look and she could not or would not answer a straight question, choosing instead to doggedly stick to her incessant talking points. t;s not thast she isn’t smart, or qualified, or wouldn’t make a good leader. It’s that she was truly annoying and has a real likability problem. It’s sad that her handlers are so poor in advising her, and sadder still that she doesn’t see the difference between confidence and just blurting out platitudes and polemics regardless of what the question is. If she would portray herself as more of a ‘regular’ person, she’d go a lot farther.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 2:09amBachmann supporters I hope you take the time to think about one thing: a lot of Bachmann supporters like Michelle for her “Pro-Israel” stance so I must ask you how is Michelle Pro-Israel when she supports sending our tax dollars to Muslim tyrant Nations who hate Israel?
If we are to bless Israel to be blessed and cursed if we curse Israel than Michelle aiding Israel’s enemies would put us on the curse side.
Michelle is for aid to Muslim countries who hate Israel.
Michelle is for selling weapons to Muslim Nation who hate Israel
Michelle is for intervening and defending Muslim Nations who hate Israel.
Michelle is not being honest when she says she is pro-Israel because Michelle is for helping Israel’s enemies.
Same goes for Rick Santorum, they are two hypocritical peas in a pod.
Ron Paul will end aid, stop defending, and stop arming Muslim Nations who hate Israel. Ron Paul would allow Israel to whip the snot out her enemies and not hold Israel back. Ron Paul would be Israel’s best friend.
I hope all Rick Santorum or Michelle Bachmann supporters really think about that, especially if you truly support Israel and our Jewish friends. Any candidate helping the enemy of Israel is not Israel’s friend and are not blessing Israel, period.

Congressman Ron Paul
U.S. House of Representatives
July 16, 2002
“Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce the Free Housing Market Enhancement Act. This legislation restores a free market in housing by repealing special privileges for housing-related government sponsored enterprises (GSEs). These entities are the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie), and the National Home Loan Bank Board (HLBB). According to the Congressional Budget Office, the housing-related GSEs received $13.6 billion worth of indirect federal subsidies in fiscal year 2000 alone.
One of the major government privileges granted these GSEs is a line of credit to the United States Treasury. According to some estimates, the line of credit may be worth over $2 billion. This explicit promise by the Treasury to bail out these GSEs in times of economic difficulty helps them attract investors who are willing to settle for lower yields than they would demand in the absence of the subsidy. Thus, the line of credit distorts the allocation of capital. More importantly, the line of credit is a promise on behalf of the government to engage in a massive unconstitutional and immoral income transfer from working Americans to holders of GSE debt.
The Free Housing Market Enhancement Act also repeals the explicit grant of legal authority given to the Federal Reserve to purchase the

Supposedly according to Jones and others, the gov has been going to the extremes of spiking the water with fluoride, the flu shots with all sorts of things in an effort to control the population, even so far as putting poision in the exhaust of commercial airliners. Why, because they see Joe Farmer as a threat, but not Ron Paul as President?

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 4:28amAxel, the idea is to trick you into thinking there is a threat that you need to be protected from. Then they allow you to believe that the harsh crack downs will be justified to you.
Again, why is it that you don’t answer this: Why did the media spend decades telling us that Bilderberg isn’t real. Yet after it was exposed, now presents it as “nothing” to pay attention to? Ever see what happens to the towns that they go to? The white sheets? None of this means anything at all to you?
See, you keep insisting that I think they have all this “power”. All I insist is, that they are a group of the mega rich, the George Soroses of the world, and their ilk, that get together to manipulate world markets. Their “power”, is their ability to get richer, and keep slowly shutting the door on those at the bottom.
That, is power.
But hey, nobody in this world is manipulating currencies, or managing the declines of markets. Nope. Look the other way.
PS- The FED isn’t really a private organization that charges us ten percent for ever dollar they “create”.
And Woodrow Wilson never said this, after allowing the FED’s creation:

Our Founders were Libertarians, true Conservatives, because Conservatives were last to intervene, thus CONSERVE being the root of the word. Libertarians are just that, last to intervene over what a person can/can’t do. Progressives have changed that over time. Progressives have slowly took out the heart and soul of conservatism, Libertarianism, and replaced it with Progressive policies, intervention domestically and foreign.

Interesting article. In some respects they are correct. Libertarians tend to be socially liberal such as “why should I care who you do it with as long as you are not doing it in the streets in front of kids.” (although there are quite a few who would argue that pedophilia is not specifically against the constitution either) The libertarian stance on drug use, prostitution and homosexuality is in step with typically liberal views and thus the attraction of many liberals to the party (they find out the hard way that the “smaller government” part of Libertarianism throws a monkey wrench into their progressive political ideologies).
Libertarians though open minded (though seeing much less of that from current self proclaimed “libertarians” these days) do tend to be fiscally conservative and staunchly for limited government which necessitates due to consistency issues, social liberalism.
Conservatism in modern America, as most people see it is being both socially and fiscally conservative, and given our history as a Nation founded on Judeo-Christian philosophies (not necessarily a religion, but its philosophies such as murder is wrong) to say that you are “conservative” necessitates both a social and fiscal conservativeism, otherwise you are going in only “halfsies” so I see the point of the article.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 6:19am@AxelPhantom That question about why the various “powers” would let Ron Paul do anything, is a good question that deserves an answer. This is something my brother an I were discussing during my son’s birthday dinner. He is somewhat in the thick of the so called “elite” financial type people and is a heavy researcher.
His conclusion is what I was thinking. The only protection that Ron Paul has is the us . . . the people . . . the re3VOLution. It is the movement that is sweaping in behind him that is more important than Ron Paul himself. Ron Paul has admitted this many times . . . “and I consider myself to be fortunate to be apart of it”.
We need to put in place congressman with the same thinking and Senators. Sherrif Mack and his Oath Keepers movement will also play a big part. And much more that I can’t even think of right now. The new media is another part.

Isn’t it more conservative not to intervene with Government than to intervene with Government on any issue?
If Total Government is far left and anarchy is far right the more intervention by Government the more Liberal one is and the less intervention by Government the more conservative?
So technically Libertarian Constitutionalists are the most Conservative because they are least likely to intervene with Government, least likely to change, and are traditional.
It seems Conservative has changed to mean more Government telling us what to do and that is LEFT and progressed past the Constitution.

“Or are you just one of the idiots who accepts everything they’re told, even when those feeding them their information have a history of being horribly, horribly wrong?” I must be an idiot
Here is some good advice from the Paul newsletter: How to kill a black person and get away with it
It is the hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos. The youth simply walk up to a car they like, pull a gun, tell their family to get out, steal their jewelry and wallets, and take the car to wreck. Such actions have ballooned in the recent months.
In the old days, average people could avoid such youth by staying out of bad neighborhoods. Empowered by the media, police, and political complicity, however, the youth now roam everywhere looking for cars to steal and people to rob.
More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you

I was shocked to hear her say “Did you see what I did to Ron Paul in the last debate? I’m going to do that to him in the election.”
Imagine my shock. I had THREE newspaper references that Bachmann’s debate facts were INCORRECT — that man stood there and heard her lie against Ron Paul — it’s pretty shocking. No wonder he left. I would have too.
Folk PLEASE RESEARCH the candidates. When we just listen, sometimes we’re not smart enough to realize WE BEING LIED TO.
Bachmann made a serious accusation when she said he was paid/bribed. Hope she has facts to back that statement. If not, she’s in trouble.
Her ex-campaign chairmain said “The truth is, it was an excruciatingly difficult decision for me to decide between supporting Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul at the beginning of this campaign. Dr. Paul and his supporters were a major help in my successful campaigns for Iowa House and Senate even when I couldn’t count on the support of the Republican establishment here in Iowa.”

He bases his “world police” theory on “blowback.” This basically means that our own actions have sometimes had negative unintended consequences. That does not mean that you do not engage in global affairs. I would ask Dr. Paul what would’ve been the blowback of inaction? What would‘ve happened if we didn’t arm the Afghans against Soviet Russia? Or if we hadn’t sided with Saddam, or partnered with Stalin against the Nazi’s? After fighting two world wars, it became very difficult to ignore the rest of the world. We had already tried ignoring Hitler and the Axis powers. That did not go so well. Had we engaged earlier, WWII may not have been as bloody of a mess. That said, what will be the blowback of allowing Iran to obtain a Nuke given all we know about that regime? Will they launch against Israel or even the US? Or are they all just big balls of blustery hot gas that will only use a nuke as a defensive deterrent? No one truly knows the answer to that, but given their rhetoric, their 12er ideology, and their embracing of martyrdom, the scale tips heavily to the side that it would be used offensively against the little satan first and then the great satan.

The elections of Bill Clinton and Obama could never happen with a fair and unbiaed Media. Not in 10 thousand years. Although America is changing and changin fast. We are in big trouble.
As far as Bachmann goes. I like her and think that she is very sincere and intelligent; however, she is sincerely wrong on the Middle East and America’s role in foreign affairs especially while we are in debt up to our eye balls.. Really debt has nothing to do with it. The position is wrong on principal and the debt just exacerbates the problem.

Bachmann Iowa political director Wes Enos fires back at Mrs. Bachmann’s claim that Sen. Sorenson’s desertion was financially-motivated
ANKENY, Iowa – U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s Iowa political director Wes Enos recently made enlightening comments concerning Iowa State Sen. Kent Sorenson’s defection to the Ron Paul camp from his position as Iowa Chairman for the Minnesota congresswoman’s campaign for the presidency.
Hours ago, Sen. Sorenson resigned from his post with the Bachmann camp and publicly endorsed Ron Paul for the presidency, committing to get out the vote for the 12-term Congressman from Texas in the pivotal first-in-nation voting contest.
Mr. Enos made his comments in response to unfounded allegations that Sen. Sorenson’s defection was made due to financial incentives made by the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign. Mr. Enos’s comments on the matter follow, and are presented in full:
“I won’t say much about the situation or the conflicting statements beyond this; I can say unequivocally that Kent Sorenson’s decision was, in no way financially motivated. His decision had more to do with the fact that the Ron Paul supporters have been something of a family to him since he was first elected in 2008 and here in the end, as it becomes (continued) http://ww

Your concern that Ron Paul take responsibility for the newsletters is a good one, but the fact is that he did take responsibility for them and has said he should have taken better care on what was written. He just doesn’t take responsibility for being a racist or an anti-semite. He agrees he was a bad editor, since he placed his doctor business above the newsletter.
What more do you want him to do? You want him to admit he is a racist?
If you think he would make a bad president because he didn’t take his newsletter serious enough and instead put too much time in his medical practice, then that is up to you. I certainly don’t see it that way, but you are entitled to your own opinion.

I am afraid he is the flip side of Obama and may very well be another CFR appointee…they do line both sides of the aisle with their people….Given Bill Maher and many other absolute lefltists that “love” Ron Paul I should think you Ron Paul fans should take a better look at who it is you are supporting…I‘m afraid he’s a wolf in sheeps clothing and will take America further over the cliff.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 10:53amHonorific: While Beck’s video is pretty funny, I prefer to deal with facts. If you want to tear down a man that’s fine; that’s your prerogative, but why not take the statements which he has made and take them apart line by line if you can. Last time I looked there were no perfect people in this world and I suspect that includes Alex Jones as well. The man has probably made 10 thousands assertions over his career.. He makes 2 or 3 dozen over and over again. So why not take those assertions or facts and begin to tear them down or debate them?
Once again the little parody was funny but this is one thing I don’t like about Beck. It’s ok to be funny but be prepared to bring a little intellectual honesty to the table after the laughing has stopped. Furthermore, many of these radio guys have accused Beck of stealing their material and I believe they have a strong case.

——————————————————
Paul campaign chair Jesse Benton flatly denied that they were paying Sorenson.
“No, she doesn’t have a clue,” Benton told POLITICO.
Asked why Bachmann would make such an accusation, Benton shot back: “Because she just lost her campaign chairman and her campaign is floundering.”
The state senator said he called Bachmann on the phone right before he arrived at the Iowa state fairgrounds, where the Paul event is being held.
Sorenson declined to share her reaction, but suggested the GOP contest had become a two-man race and that he wanted to defeat Mitt Romney.”

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 7:37amHey Lib.. what’s with the age thing? Reagan was older than Paul when he was elected. Paul is very healthy and could most likely out do you in a bike marathon. He’s smart, and because of his age he’s witnessed things that the others have only read about in history. You know what that makes him? Better informed! I mean, who would you trust to tell you how something happened, an eye witness or someone who heard it in the grapevine? With age, comes wisdom for most people. Let me put it another way. Most young adults don’t listen to their parents about how things are in the world. They don‘t believe them because they haven’t witnessed it yet and others (young adults) have told them differently. It’s not until they experience things do they realize their parents were right and they should have listened to them. That being said, Ron understands how things truly are. He’s never flip-flopped on an issue, he’s always stood by and honored his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. Can you tell me how anyone who voted for the Patriot Act is upholding and protecting the Constitution? Maybe someone should ask all these candidates how they feel about the NDAA !!! THAT would clear up a whole lot of things and disqualify most every single candidate (if they told the truth.)

There is only one way to know if a candidate is a “true conservative”. Find out if they truly uphold the Constitutionally correct domestic, economic, and foreign policy. This is an easy feat in today’s world because of the internet. A few clicks and you have your answers because you would have searched out their records.
Bachmann is a pretty and intelligent woman who loves the Constitution EXCEPT for the meddling in the affairs of other countries. ALL the candidates are the same EXCEPT for Ron Paul. His record bears this out. When he takes his oath of office, we know he will KEEP it.
People say he looks wimpy…Ron Paul is no wimp. It takes courage and integrity to stand on your principals for over 30 years. Look at the rest of them….they change their mind every time the wind blows. If you want to know the real man, Ron Paul take time to read this letter written by his wife, Carol.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig8/paul-carol1.html
When trying to decide who is worthy of your support, ask yourself who it is that consistantly in all matters, upholds our Constitution. Like I said, it is just a matter of a few clicks on the internet. It is not hard. Listen to the truth. Have a great day and New Year!

“Ron Paul’s Tea Party For Dollars
December 16, 2007 06:33 PM
By Michael Levenson, Globe Staff
Ron Paul supporters marched today through the snow from the State House to Faneuil Hall, then smashed the one-day fund-raising record for a Republican presidential candidate.
As of 7 p.m., the supporters said they had raked in $4.3 million, surpassing the record $4.2 million total they raised on Nov. 5.
Most of the 33,000 donations were made over the Internet in what the supporters called a “money bomb” timed to coincide with the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.

Cat“B” would support candidates that send money to Muslim nations who hate Israel and raises taxes.
Cat“B” supports candidates who don’t care about the Fed Reserve
Cat“B” supports candidates who want more war which means higher taxes.

Now you find yourself in a hypocritical hole, you can’t exactly endorse Paul because you have bashed him many times, probably in real life situations as well.
Let me go ahead and tell you something: The majority of “Paulies” were wrong too. We all have been wrong, we bought the same propaganda line you did, and we realize our mistake.
So I urge you, to let go of your stubborn pride, and embrace what you have been crying for repeatedly. A person who serves the Constitution.
Understand: It is ok to be wrong every now and then, especially if everything around you tries to convince you that wrong is right.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 2:35amI’m not sure why Ron Paul is always compared to Ron Reagan… I’m really not sure they have very many similarities other than their first name…
Now, this is a very brief overview of only a few of each individuals policies (I can’t cover everything in these limits, and there are certainly some positions they ‘share’). But these are some of the bigger issues where they would seem to differ.
Ron Reagan continued and expanded the War on Drugs (and is fondly remembered by most conservatives for he and his wife’s “Just Say No” campaign). Ron Paul, would end the War on Drugs, and legalize all (?) drugs.
Ron Reagan was a war Hawk, and very much an interventionist… He pushed America into Grenada, Central America, Lebanon, Libya, and helped bring about the fall of the USSR (but it might be argued that the Cold War never truly ended, just went underground). He was strongly allied with the Iron Lady herself, Margaret Thatcher… During his time the military expanded 43%… He was a strong proponent of “victory through strength”. Ron Paul would like to cut back the military and budget, end intervention, and bring forces back to US itself. In a more isolationist approach.
For the ‘anti-Catholic’ conspiracy theorists (no offense to Catholics)… Ron Reagan helped the Vatican ragain much of its political influence on the world… I‘m not sure what Ron Paul’s position on ‘catholic influence’ is however, but based on his choice to avoid any “entangling allian

Now, Alex Jones (for his fans), IIRC, pointed out in conspiracies that Ron Reagan attended Bohemian Grove, and may have been a member of Bilderberg…. There are even pictures of him at the grove…
In Reagan’s favor, he did attempt to cut back size of government in other departments? Ron Paul also supports this perspective…
I‘m surprised that Reagan isn’t compared to a “Neocon” (from Paulist definition) rather than Ron Paul… I‘m not sure based on Ron Paul’s positions why he would want to be associated with Reagan policies… I‘m also not sure why Reagan’s actions aren‘t being accused for causing ’blowback’… It‘s as if there is a somewhat revisionist history ignoring Reagan’s positions…

So again I’m not sure why anyone who supports Ron Paul would want to hold him up to Reagan… If they believe ‘America’ is at fault for most of its wars for its interference… Since based on that theory, Reagan would be just as much to blame…

My reference to Ronald Reagan was Ronald’s quote of what the heart and soul of being a Conservative is, Libertarianism.
Yes Ronald and Ron differed after Ronald took office and became more Liberal with his foreign policy with more intervention. (some say Ronald did not know about the Iran contra debatable) Before taking office and running for office Ronald was not so much an intervention hawk. His administration swade him to be so. Ronald moved from the right as a non-interventionist to the left as an interventionist.
The image “conservatives” make Ronald out to be isn’t a true image because to see Ronald and his admins failures for what they were would mean conservatives would have to admit to their mistakes and own up to our responsibilities. We as conservatives aren’t the best at that thus the reason Glenn Beck preached about responsibility.
Yes, supporting Saddam and teaching him how to make chemicals weapons and how to use on Iran led to hatred towards America from both sides. We funded both sides of a 8 year war.
I’m not saying Ronald was a horrible guy but he did have some failures and did move from the right to the left in his administration on foreign policy.
Some compare Ron Paul to Reagan in regards to what Reagan ran to be, not necessarily became.
Hope you are well.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 3:58amAccording to Ron Paul himself;
http://www.dailypaul.com/freedom-under-siege/Freedom-Under-Siege-complete.pdf
“The American people, unfortunately, could not see that both actions were the result of the same flawed policy…. The Grenada invasion was heralded as a great triumph and applauded by the vast majority of American people…. Worst of all, and typical of our tragic foreign policy – in the midst of the Grenada invasion designed to make the world safe for democracy by stopping the spread of communism – President Reagan, behind the scenes, was forcefully lobbying for specific aid to ‘Communist-dictators’ through additional IMF funding. The invasion of Grenada is hardly the victory the American people were led to believe.” (p. 50-51)
“The U.S. policy toward Libya further confirms our irrational foreign policy. Under Reagan we have been determined to pick a fight with Khadafi, defying him with naval and air maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra. As we try to emphasize our right to navigate in international waters near Libya, we totally reject the territorial waters of Nicaragua by mining their harbors. The World Court rulings against the U.S. were ignored by the Reagan Administration….” (p. 51-52)

When if you look deeper there are shades of Reagan’s leftist policies on both before and after… case in point Ronald was a long time Democrat before switching to Republicans… He had alot of liberal support during his California elections.

I hear you and to be quite honest with you I’m no fan of Ronald Reagan for those very reasons. He was a great guy but he left a lot of core conservative principles for more progressed principles that honestly caused a lot of trouble.
What I’m saying is people look at Reagan and do not see him as a progressive but history shows us he really was as mentioned thru his intervention policy and thru his spending habits. Like George Bush II who ran on not Nation Building and not being a world police and than flipped to Nation Building and policing the World, Reagan did the same. We only think of the good of Reagan.
Bush is not revered by Republicans because of the two wars and failures to find WMD’s as well as the Banking collapse along with spending so Republicans go back to the Republican President before him, Reagan and praise him though he left many conservative principles for more Liberal or progressed to the left policies.
I do believe Ron could unite many like Reagan. Ron is way to the right. He will have to compromise and so will the left. Ron being so right will make the left move toward to the right in compromise which slowly moves us back as seen in the overturn window.
You make valid points I totally agree with. Appreciate your thoughts much.

Progressives came out during Abe Lincoln’s time and especially after his murder.
As a whole though our Constitution was founded on Non-Intervention and it is clear as day in George Washington’s farewell address.
The whole NEO-Con bit was what democrats used for Democrats who supported Progressive Republicans during Vietnam. Democrats called those defecting Democrats “New Conservatives”. Oddly, some Republicans actually took that platform and embraced it.
Look at Bill Krystal-he’s for intervention with the military or financial dollars in foreign nations. He is also for socialist programs (intervention domestically). That by definition is Progressive (Socialist). more Government.
Old Conservatives were the least to intervene (conserve) domestically or internationally. Conservatives didn’t like to change, were traditional, and reserved.
Progressives have done a grand job with intertwining and playing the word game thru generations to the point it is hard to know what is up and what is down.

True… Glad we are in the same wavelength when it comes to the true historical etymology of Neocon….
There is a certain fringe definition seemingly used as a perjorative against any who liberals (and unfortunately some independents and libertarians) might disagree on various topics, that seems to have a more anti-Semitic connotations…

I wouldn’t say it is anti-Semitic though.
Remember, NEO Con was a Democrat that supported Intervention thru war and as a normal democrat intervention domestically by Government thru social policies.
Bush, supported intervention thru war in foreign policy and supported intervention domestically thru Government programs. Bush is the very same thing as what democrats called “new conservative”.
So truthfully a lot of “conservatives” are really just those democrats that were labeled “New Conservatives” and thus the reason it is used so often.
Yes it is used quite often but quite often it’s used correctly.
The anti-semite part I would say stems from USA’s intervention foreign policy is always said as “we must defend Israel” using Israel kind of as a scapegoat. Progressive know the religious revere Israel so saying we must defend Israel as an excuse to go meddle in more countries does cause some blowback as anti-Semitism, thus Israel used as a scapegoat to keep blame off of progressives.

Add to the situation that these liberals tend to also be more pro-Palestinian, and openly anti-Israel. In modern times pro-arab spring. They tend to describe the Jews much in the way Anti-Semites do “including in some cases elements of the ‘blood libel’, but more often ten not the warning of vast ‘Jewish banker conspiracies’ to take the world’s money and rule the world”. The same old medieval swill that lead to the inquisition, pograms, and holocaust. The same swill that organizations like Hamad still promote, and we are seeing on the rise in the US among some OWS protesters.

“The Tea Parties Now Have Their Man
Apr 28, 2011
We need to get this straight: the Tea Party movement was never about electing Republicans–especially neocon Republicans! The Tea Party movement began as a grassroots effort to reduce the size and scope of the federal government; to rid America of the oppressive tax burden under which it currently groans; to eliminate the Federal Reserve; to return America to sound money; to stop the federal government’s obsession with foreign entanglements and wars; and to return America to constitutional governance. And there was only one man within the two major parties that was going to bring about those changes in 2008: Congressman Ron Paul, which is why the Tea Party was birthed as a grassroots extension of his campaign.”

So much for HOMELAND SECURITY >> PAUL WILL JUST OPEN UP THE BORDERS.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 12:56amCATB You mean the Homeland Security that is preventing Arizona from deporting the illegals? The Homeland Security that will pat down a baby and an elderly person at an airport while giving the Muslims a pass? THe same HOMELAND SECURITY that can pick you up and hold you indefinitely without charges or trial..and you never to be seen or heard from again..It’s called Indefinite Detention and Bachman supports it..Also supports the Patriot Act..With these guys in office..we lose our rights also SOPA which is loss of freedom of speech on the internet and most likely anywhere else..More and more control you will relinqjuish.

No, I don’t think so, but before I draw out all the RP defenders, I’ll say that we would normally get another round of the same talking points, much of which we agree with. The discussion we don‘t hear much are the issues we’re not on board with. I’d genuinely enjoy reading some discussion on the candidates views on Sharia, the open border, and the Islam problem. Assuming the candidates know there is a problem.
