Words Have Little Meaning For Romney

More broadly, lines have been drawn between those labeled “realists” and those labeled “neoconservatives.” Yet these terms mean little when even the most committed neoconservative recognizes that any successful policy must be grounded in reality and even the most hardened realist admits that much of the United States’ power and influence stems from its values and ideals. ~Mitt Romney

Via George Ajjan (who proceeds to demolish the claim made in this quote and refute much of the rest of Romney’s blather)

It helps when the “reality” in which the neocons are  grounded is also the one that actually exists here on this planet.
