I don't understand what a "neo-con" is. Perhaps its like defining the "Bush Doctrine", something liberals just make up.
ace...the difference between "fiscal conservatives" and "fiscal disciplined" is the latter believe in a role for government, that government is not the enemy and the "free market" is not the answer to everything.

The social conservatives can win a single issue with enough money and scare tactics...they cant win on a broader platform.

Neo-cons? We know who they are and what they represent and a diminishing number of voters share their view of the world.

And these three groups are fighting for control of the party.
