No, and not a neocon either. Jude's the ur supply-sider, along with Arthur Laffer. He's off in his own world a lot of the time - he supported Buchanan early in the 2000 campaign, but he's more of an internationalist that Pitchfork Pat. He's opposed to sanctions of any kind, opposed the war on Iraq too. But his major passion is the gold standard. If we'd just revert to gold, everything'd be ok.
