GOP Separatism and the Difference Between Neocons and Traditional Republicans

First off, the article linked to in the post title is only a starting point for this topic- How Congressional Republicans are beginning to distance themselves from the White House and the Neocon stereotype.
Recently, House and Senate Republicans have begun distancing themselves from the Neocon political ideology of the Bush White House. This is largely due to severely declining support for the current conflict in Iraq, but is built also on a by-and-large rejection of policy proposals falling in line with that ideology (i.e., privatization of Social Security and Medicare, the non-traditional Neocon support for illegal immigrants, etc.). Some Republicans and Democrats with more traditional leanings may be confused by this concept, so let the ol' vet put it into perspective for you: Bush, Cheney, et al are NOT normal conservatives. They fall into a category referred to as Neocons, which differs on a large scale from traditional conservatism. One example is the Neocon policy toward illegal immigrants: Neocons typically support (or, at least, don't reject) illegal immigration into the country, as their take is that these immigrants mostly take jobs that Americans don't want, and aren't a large burden on government social programs. The traditional Conservative take on this subject is that illegal immigration should be stopped in its tracks, as regardless of whether Americans want those jobs, they NEED them. Also, traditional Conservatives feel that illegals DO create a significant burden on the government (while not paying taxes), and therefore should be removed, forcibly if necessary. Another example is the excessive spending that has taken place in the last few years under this administration. Traditional Conservatives are great supporters of fiscal responsibility, i.e. not spending more than we can afford to. The current administration has financed our current conflict not with slight tax raises, as is the more traditional way of financing a war, but mostly with foreign loans. Yes, a large portion of the money financing this conflict has come from borrowing. We'll be owing that back, with interest, here in just a few years. Traditional Conservatives wouldn't like that very much. Let me reiterate that for you: Traditional Conservatives would raise taxes as opposed to borrowing foreign money for this war. The current administration's tax cuts, combined with non-efficient spending on foreign military engagements, has destroyed the federal budget. Whatever happened to fiscal conservatism? It was left behind a couple of decades ago. Bush is a fiscal liberal. That's what a Neocon is.
I'd go on with this rant, but the vet is severely ill at the moment. More later.
