			* ]: November 2005 - June 2006.
	New Deal Democrats borrowed a lot from Fascism and Communism, and were quite right to do so. The system would not have survived if it had hung on to what it was when Roosevelt got elected.

			== Good Article nomination ==
	Both the USA and USSR were intent on imposing their own system on the rest of the world. There was no intention of allowing anyone to live differently from the USA in the long term. The USA prevented elections in Vietnam because the Communists were likely to win them. Democracy was never respected when it involved people choosing to move away from the USA.

			Overall the article looks quite good and is well referenced. However, before passing it I think a few things should be addressed:
	New Deal Democrats also had no wish to end the domination of society by people who were mostly white, mostly male and almost all rich.
			#Papers controversy should be better integrated into the rest of the article and updated to reflect any developments in the last 16 months.
			#Quotes section should be merged into the rest of the article or at least trimmed. ] is down the hall.
			*Other than that it looks great. I'll will put the article on hold for a week and pass it if the above concerns are addressed. ] 17:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

			===Quotes===
	As the main article says, this does flow very naturally into Reaganism. Except Reagan depended heavily on white-racist votes in the formerly solid Democratic states of the US South. 'Neoconservatives' are embarrassed by this, of course. They want everyone to be an identical 'unit of the individual'. But that is the reality.
			I agree that the quote section should be axed. The selections of them also have a hint of POV to them. Look for a middle ground that best reflects the man. I never heard much about him but going with the picture the article paints, the quotes that I would keep and find a way to fit into the article would be ''"I'm not a hawk or a dove. I just don't want my country to be a pigeon." '' (Probably best in '''Influence on neoconservatism''') and ''"If you believe in the cause of freedom, then proclaim it, live it and protect it, for humanity's future depends on it." '' (It would depend on the context of the quote, if it was during a campaign I would put it there. Otherwise it might fit in the neocon section) ] 12:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

			:This may seem absurd in light of my comment down below but I would interject that any of the quotes you keep should be referenced. Most of them already are but the ones that the anon user mentioned are not. ] 16:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
	'Free Market' is also misleading. The USA has kept the vast mass of subsidy, guarantee and regulation that the New Deal imposed. The 'neoconservatives' show no faith in their own creed when it would cost them money if it were not so. No one said 'let the market find its own level' in 1987, when a crash threatened to bring down the system. Only when it comes to taking things away from poor people is regulation suddenly wicked.

			::I created a page on Wikiquote and moved the whole quotes section there as per ] - "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section.".-] <span style="font-size: 87%">(])</span> 17:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
	'Classic Capitalism' failed in the early 1930s. What the New Deal created used to be called the 'Mixed Economy' and should still be called the 'Mixed Economy'.

			==GA nomination failed==
	I comment on wider matters because the main article does. I take it to be written by some of the 'Henry Jackson Society' crowd. Fine, so long as they allow 'right of reply'.
			As per my post above, I am failing the GA nomination since the concerns I identified have not been addressed in the past week. I would encourage a renom after some clean-up. Overall it is quite good but just not up to GA standards yet. ] 19:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

	:Nowhere does the page call Jackson a Neocon. It correctly states that he was influential in the Neocon movement. This is a historical fact that is relevant to Scoop Jackson, and belongs on his page, as well as on a Neocon page. It's notable, verifiable, and you give absolutely no reason for deleting it. -- ] 20:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	It sullens his image and it is tantamount to revisionist historical slander and it has no place in a NPOV article. If you want to mention it go do it in the neocon page. NOT HERE! Go look at the on the Henry M Jackson Foundation website. There is not one mention of him being a Neocon. --] 20:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	:Do you mean "sullies" his image? Even if these facts do "sully" his image (which they don't--rather, they show that Jackson has had important influence beyond his lifetime, something very few politicians will ever be able to claim), that's not a reason to delete it. You greatly misunderstand what "NPOV" means if you think including additional facts (whose truth you have yet to dispute) violates NPOV. The Misplaced Pages biography is not supposed to be identical to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation website biography. There are many references to Scoop Jackson's influence on modern neoconservatism, all of which you deleted from the article. -- ] 21:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	:Every statement in the article that you deleted is ], and you have yet to point to anything otherwise. The article never calls Jackson a neocon, so I have no reason to accept your challenge. The argument that verifiable notable information that has nothing to do with whether Jackson called himself a neocon needs to be removed because Jackson didn't call himself a neocon is a non sequitur. I'm restoring the text, since you have yet to give a valid reason for unilaterally deleting material that was added by several other editors. -- ] 21:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	== RFC ==

	As you can see from , the text a single editor wishes to censor from the article is both notable and verifiable. The editor's argument against including it is the argument that Jackson was not a neoconservative himself, which may or may not be true, but is irrelevant to the fact that Jackson's political philosophy was highly influential over the modern neoconservative movement by the accounts of outside observers as well as neoconservatives themselves. -- ] 20:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	It is not Censorship. I am removing POV slander against the late Senator.

	:You greatly misunderstand what "POV" means in Misplaced Pages. What's POV about the '''fact''' that Wolfowitz worked for Jackson, and says that Jackson influenced his political beliefs? I see you don't dispute that this is a notable fact, and don't dispute that this fact is verifiable. You thus have no basis for removing it. -- ] 21:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	So what? That is completely moot. If you can find proof that the late Senator claimed he was a neocon straight from his own mouth then you could include it but you can’t so it does not belong here. --] 21:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	:Jake, this isn't Argument Clinic. You have to give reasons for deleting factual verifiable information in Misplaced Pages, and you still haven't justified it. -- ] 21:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	I gave my reasons. Senator Jackson was not a Neocon and you can not prove otherwise. Thus the Neocon fantasy has no place in the article about my late great Senator.--] 21:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	: I gave a verifiable cite calling Jackson a neocon forerunner. You deleted it without explanation. -- ] 22:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	* 8bitJake, neoconservatism and the left wing or the Democratic Party or liberalism are not polar opposites; they are not oil and water (Wolfowitz is a noted liberal on domestic issues for instance). The evolution of political movements is never as simple as that. *Please see ] and ].
	* Also see the Amazon review of a major Jackson biography which links him with neoconservative admirers: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0295979623/103-6680571-9244660?v=glance&n=283155
	* The article does not call Jackson a "neoconservative" <s>(since the use of the term as we know it today begins a decade or more after his death, we're hardly going to find a quote proclaiming himself as one)</s> (the origins of the term as used to day is still a bit murky to me) - it points out that his foreign policy policy positions have been publicly admired by neoconservatives who regard him as an early forerunner.
	* Finally, Misplaced Pages is not a place for dogma and refusal to engage in reasonable argument. ] 22:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	== 8bitJake's complaint ==

	8bitJake repeatedly complains that Jackson is listed as Category:Neoconservatives. But he's not. He's listed in Category:Neoconservatism, which is a different animal, and is relevant, since Jackson's political philosophy is the father of neoconservatism. Just because the Sunnis and Shia disagree with each other doesn't mean that they're not both descended from Mohammedan Islam. -- ] 22:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	That is a load of revisionist crap. Leave my late Senator alone.
	--] 22:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	:Sorry. You don't get to choose who admires Scoop Jackson. Maybe you should look more closely at neoconservatism as a personal philosophy if you're really a Scoop Jackson fan? The modern Democrats have betrayed his legacy. -- ] 22:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	Really I met with my Congressman Norm Dicks last week who served with Scoop and he supports Congressman Murtha solution Iraq.--] 22:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
	:What does that have to do with Jackson? And anyway, the article is not suggesting that if Scoop Jackson was alive today, he'd be a Rumsfeld ally. Its noting his influence on neoconservatives. And neoconservatives are not one monolithic camp of thought - ] has notably distanced himself from the Iraq invasion for instance. ] 22:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	*8bitJake, here is the lead paragraph from a review of in '']'' magazine - possibly the most reputable American journal of international relations: ''']'''. Lead: ''"For 14 years, from the '''1973 ]''' until the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a group of intellectuals known as neoconservatives shaped, and sometimes dominated, American foreign policy. They wrote for Commentary, The Wall Street Journal, and later The National Interest. They acted through organizations like the Committee on the Present Danger and the Committee for the Free World. They held important positions in the AFL-CIO leadership and '''in the office of Senator Henry M. Jackson''', then the most powerful Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And during Ronald Reagan's first term, they occupied influential posts in the State and Defense Departments."''

	I am trying to remove the vandalism and right wing libel about my late senator that were on this page. They failed to prove that Senator Jackson claimed he was a Neocon so there is no reason to disgrace his article with mentioning this cult.--] 22:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	:You greatly misunderstand the definition of vandalism and libel when you delete factual and verifiable statements that have cited sources. Please read the FAQ. -- ] 22:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	Reply to RfC: While I do have some issues with portions of the deleted edits and think that they could be cleaned up, I do agree in principle that Mr. Jackson was a forerunner and an inspiration to SOME neocons. He was, after all, hawkish on foreign policy. The discussion on the neocons not taking his stance on domestic issues provides balance. IMO, there is room for compromise. ] <small>(])</small> 22:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

	I have be offering a compromise of keeping the listing of the Necon worship of Senator Jackson on the Neocon page but keeping it off this page since it can't be proven if he would approve nor can it be proven to have endorsed any of the policy and world views that the modern Neocon cult subscribes to.

	I am not disputing that the neocon cabal had falsely appropriated my beloved Senator and are trying to re-write history to fit their twisted world view. It is a proven fact that he never clamed to be a Neocon and it is unfair to associate him with them.

	::The problem is Jake that you appear to have pre-conceived and negative connotations associated with the term "neo-conservative". But that is not the fault of the encyclopaedia if it chooses to apply it. It may be wiser though to cite the influence individually to Wolfowitz and Perle and remove reference to "neo-conservatism" - which is a fairly turgid term at the best of times. Then you could remove the clause stating that Jackson was and has never been a member of the Neo-conservative party! Keep the category at the foot though for reference.

Good Article nomination

Overall the article looks quite good and is well referenced. However, before passing it I think a few things should be addressed:

Papers controversy should be better integrated into the rest of the article and updated to reflect any developments in the last 16 months.
Quotes section should be merged into the rest of the article or at least trimmed. Wikiquote is down the hall.

Other than that it looks great. I'll will put the article on hold for a week and pass it if the above concerns are addressed. Eluchil404 17:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Quotes

I agree that the quote section should be axed. The selections of them also have a hint of POV to them. Look for a middle ground that best reflects the man. I never heard much about him but going with the picture the article paints, the quotes that I would keep and find a way to fit into the article would be "I'm not a hawk or a dove. I just don't want my country to be a pigeon." (Probably best in Influence on neoconservatism) and "If you believe in the cause of freedom, then proclaim it, live it and protect it, for humanity's future depends on it." (It would depend on the context of the quote, if it was during a campaign I would put it there. Otherwise it might fit in the neocon section) 205.157.110.11 12:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

This may seem absurd in light of my comment down below but I would interject that any of the quotes you keep should be referenced. Most of them already are but the ones that the anon user mentioned are not. Agne 16:50, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I created a page on Wikiquote and moved the whole quotes section there as per WP:LONGQUOTE - "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section.".-Ich (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

GA nomination failed

As per my post above, I am failing the GA nomination since the concerns I identified have not been addressed in the past week. I would encourage a renom after some clean-up. Overall it is quite good but just not up to GA standards yet. Eluchil404 19:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

1972 presidential campaign

Sorry, this was my first edit; I'm a little clumsy, and didn't comment the edit. I took out the characterization "most emotionally charged and tainted in US political history", in light of objective historical evidence to the contrary, e.g. United States presidential election, 1912. I also removed "also" from the reference to Schachtman's support; otherwise, one might infer that McGovern's accusation of racism was an expression of support for Jackson.MrTetragon (talk) 18:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
