Am bringing this up due to a discussion with a friend who was excited over Sarah Palin joining Newsmax. Reminding him that she was a neocon and had already subverted the tea party before was not enough due to his belief 'it is good for the party'. The fable of the scorpion and the frog was meant for the liberal mindset. While compassion and forgiveness are tenets of liberalism (not progressivism) and the western philosophy, it does not mean forgiving treachery. There is a delineation between supporting free speech, the need to have open dialogue, and allowing those that wish us harm to subvert our values. The current state of the west today is due to this exact conditions. The rift that created KIA2 is due to the same scorpion being offered passage time and time again. It is our burden to maintain the garden we have sown.

McCain hated Palin. She may be a neocon, but she could be moved right if Romney and friends aren't there to act as a nucleus. We do need the republicuck infrastructure.
If Biden steals the election, we will be the least of the neocons' problems.
Why would they need grassroots support if they're fabricating votes on demand?
