Re: Conservocrats

May 9, 2006:

Query then whether a conservative rebellion against the entire GOP leadership agenda, excepting war strategy, is the only way for Republicans to keep Congress and the vitality necessary for ‘08. Query when the last time such a thing has happened — and whether we aren’t headed for an extraordinary moment in 2008 when the national realignment Rove had been dreaming of turns out to be less about party and more about philosophy. There are more anti-Bush conservatives now, I think, than ever — paleocons and paleoliberals who share an unadventurous reticence in foreign, as well as moral, policy. You heard it here first that this is the critical swing vote over the next two years…

That line about “excepting war strategy” is now dated. Neolibbocons, Conservolationcrats — this is only the beginning.
