Her view on social issues doesn't change being a neocon.

It's inaccurate to say "neocons can't be socially conservative"

The primary goal of the neocon is American Hegemony. That means spreading the roots of US style "democracy" far and wide to countries like Iraq, Libya and Egypt.

Their allegiance is military-first, using corporate interests to fund their cause and dangling carrots to voters to attract Republican votes.

So a neocon can be socially conservative... like Cheney or not so much, like Bill Kristol.

They still wear the same Jersey.
