 On the other hand, in the battle of Twits, neo-cons have a habit of

 Actually Conservative Talk Radio dominates the airwaves for the same reason 
 that porn sells so well:  it's interesting, and completely without moral 
 redemption.

 Sure.  Lots of 'em.

 Sure.  Lots of 'em.  We can start with the idea that democracy is important, 
 and the Constitution sacrosanct.  Those are good ones.  Want to hear more?

 Actually the Secretary of State says what the President tells him to, and 
 the CIA damn well has NOT said there's ANY evidence.

 Both have troops on the ground in Afghanistan, and were both among the first

 No, actually most of the world said that, and the war is already going on, 
 so I guess this little diatribe is dated, and written by someone else.

 Yep.  Their books are selling pretty damned good, too. 
  
 You got a problem with Capitalism, Komrade?
