Nonsense. Susan Rice was the neocon choice in both parties. leveymg Dec 2012 #27

Rice is a neocon? LOLOLOL! Buzz Clik Dec 2012 #30

Her ME positions run parallel with the neocons - they support her over Kerry. leveymg Dec 2012 #43

Do you have ANYTHING substantial to say on this topic? eom leveymg Dec 2012 #46

About Susan Rice being a necon? Yeah, it's a bullshit claim. Buzz Clik Dec 2012 #48

"It's a bullshit claim" - that's a really well developed argument. leveymg Dec 2012 #49
