Talk:Bush neoconservative/archive

Under President Clinton, a similar list could apply to most Democrats. Does that make them "neolibs", "socialists", or is the Democrat party just really that far left?

• the US Invasion of Iraq (And Haiti, and Somalia, and Bosnia)
• President William J. Clinton
• the precedence of presidential authority over constitutional law
• the actions of the president are above the law (sexual assault, perjury, etc.)
• big government spending for political ends

I'm not sure I am understanding some of your points above. Overall, you seem to be saying that there was a similar breakaway cabal during the Clinton years, and so there should be a similar term for them. However, during the Clinton administration there was not, as far as I am aware, such a huge gap between Democratic/liberal ideals and the actual actions of elected officials in the Democratic party (including Clinton) as there is now between Republican/conservative ideals and the actual actions of elected officials in the Republican party -- especially at the very top. If I need to spell out the details of that gap, please let me know.

One discussion moved

I have moved the remainder of the discussion that was here over to Talk:Bill Clinton vs. George W. Bush, because that seemed to be more the ultimate topic. --Woozle 20:04, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
