Article written about Santorum(Phil I wouldn't click on this thread).

I liked Santorum and the guy who just replaced him is Santorum-lite anyways.Btw I just brought this article up for the hell of it.   

Casey's not an asshole or a bigot, which were the real problems with Santorum. I wouldn't say I agree with Casey's politics, but at least he's not objectionable as a person.

Are you kidding? Santorum was one of the poster-boys of neoconservatism.

Neocons usually care very little for social issues and are usually liberal in those areas.

You couldn't possibly be more wrong. Name some neocons who are socially liberal and I will name many more who are socially conservative.

Goldwater it turned it was more socially liberal, If you considered him a neocon.

Goldwater was before neoconservativism even emerged as an ideology. It wasn't fully formed until the 1980s. One could make argument that McCarthyism was very early neoconservativism and that Kennedy and Johnson both used neoconservative foreign policy, but there was no cohesion to neoconservativism yet.
