How the heck do peace loving liberals become hawkish war loving individuals?! Explain this one.

Actually, they DID care. Gore won the popular vote.

Bush isn't one either. He has been the most liberal spending president in US History. I mean, name another president who cuts taxes in a time of war! There isn't one. He's definitely not conservative!

You asked a question. You didn't have a point. The link answers the question by explaining how some liberals became alienated from the "left" and became the neoconservative movement.

Of course "some" liberals left the left. But it is mostly conservatives, like your link states. They are not "hawkish liberals" like you tried to say they where.

They are liberals on most areas other than foreign policy, on which they are most definitely hawkish.

I see that pretty much everyone agrees that BushJr is not a conservative. But back to the point I had in mind with this thread...does that fact, and the logic in the original article I posted, mean that some of you conservatives would rather vote for Kerry to get Bush out of the Republican spotlight (in order to get a real conservative to run in 4 years)? Or are you all just Republicans, and not neccesarily conservative.
