Reply #18: EXACTLY! ! Bayh can reach out to the pro-war neocons and bring more of them into the Party

[Douglas Carpenter]

This is a constituency which liberal and progressives have long neglected.

Perhaps with someone like Evan Bayh, former Democrats like Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz could feel at home in the Democratic Party again.

"The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI) is pleased to welcome Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) as an Honorary Co-Chairman. Bayh becomes the third U.S. Senator to join the committee after Sens. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) announced their participation on January 28."The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI) is pleased to welcome Sen.

The Committee is a neo-con group that was formed to propagandize the country into war. It boasted such illustrious neocon members as Bill Kristol, former CIA director James Woolsey, and even McCain senior foreign policy adviser and Chalabi-bamboozler Randy Scheunemann, whom Josh has been blogging about."

Perhaps with Bayh as Vice President there might be a strong advocate for war with Iran.

Perhaps he can even be a strong influence for more future wars.

Just think how great it would be to have not one, but two parties dominated by neoconservative thinking.
