Forgot to mention the obvious example of a most hated (by liberals and
conservatives) "neo-con," Paul Wolfowitz, who first went to Washington to work
for Paul Nitze, Dean Acheson and Albert Wohlstetter. Dean Acheson had been, of
course, Truman's secretary of state, Nitze wrote NSC-68 in the Truman
administration and served as secretary of the navy and deputy secretary of
defense in the Kennedy-Johnson years, and Wohlstetter was "Mr. Fail-Safe" and
the developer of the "second-strike" nuclear capability strategy. If the
Democratic party of pre-1972 still existed, Wolfowitz would be an active
member. Instead, he has joined the Dems who have hijacked the Republican Party
and is a "Republican." So this election, to a very real extent, is a face-off
not between Republicans and Democrats, but between hard-line foreign policy
T-K-J Democrats--the Bush people--and the accomodationist C-C Democrats--the
Kerry people.
So where are the Republicans? Do they still exist? They sure aren't
represented by Arnold Schwartzenegger.
