Mother of mercy! Is this the end of neocons?
After an almost 30-year run of counterintuitive projects, insider scheming and unctuous deceit, neoconservatives may discover, amid rubble of a likely GOP catastrophe Nov. 4, that the next backs knifed are their own.
In the aftermath of the Iraq invasion in 2003 - what must be the high-water mark of the neocon movement - David Frum memorably counseled that doubtful paleoconservatives and antiwar Republicans should be purged from the party. It was the kind threatening, pseudo-Bolshevik smack talk suitable for a political mindset that began in the palpitating post-Trotsky Left.
But now, those one-time targets are seeing a glimmer of hope in the imminent ballot-box ass-kicking: Anger post-debacle could provide a chance to scour the GOP of its neoconservative domination.
