For the prize today, what chubby blond PNAC'er is my Mom thinking of? |
|
Someone behind the scenes who laid the stragegy for the right wing takeover- not Rove, or Gingrich.
Who the hell is she thinking of? She can't remember his name and it's driving me bonkers.
Thanks in advance.
For your prize, you get a pic of our next President bodysurfing Sandy's.

2. Probably wasn't a PNACer |
|
And Rove isn't one either. The Project For A New American Century is strictly a foreign policy think tank, and neoconservatives really don't have domestic policy positions.
But I'm drawing a blank on this too.

7. Yeah they are not interchangable terms |
|
Although they have gotten to be a little bit over the years. Many of them have similar belief systems as a typical GOP member might have on basic domestic issues. but it's not something an actual neocon would be talking about much, if at all. For example, Paul Wolfowitz and John Bolton are prominent Neocons and members of PNAC, but they basically deal with foreign policy, you don't really see those guys out shilling for privatizing social security or anything like that. Now they might be in favor of it, but it's not really something they write about or anything.

4. Larry Hunter wrote the Contract for America |
|
He's actually voting for Obama now too. I was thinking Dick Armey but he wasn't really behind the scenes.
