Neo-Con...
I came to understand that as socially liberal Democrats but hawks on foreign policy, thus, some of these Dems left the Dem party to become Republicans. There is not one definition.
Look at that Senator from New Jersey, Menendez, he's a hawk mostly on Foreign Policy, this is why some assert the Obama administration went after him.

There is a lot of history here to just encapsulate it in brief, that Senator, Henry Jackson was likely a Foreign Policy Hawk and back then, could probably still be conservative on some social-type issues.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is suggesting that the administration may have indicted Sen. Robert Menendez for corruption as punishment for “policy differences.â€
The Department of Justice indicted the New Jersey Democrat Menendez earlier this month for engaging in corruption and bribery, complete with bawdy details about foreign “girlfriends.†Menendez has been accused of accepting close to $1 million in gifts and campaign donation from Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor and close friend, in exchange for his political muscle — purportedly used to help Melgen’s businesses deal with the feds and to get three of Melgen’s foreign model girlfriends U.S. visas.

All of that scandal they tried to pen on Menendez, I'm still not convinced about it. But I'd still have a hard time, voting for him ever based on domestic type issues.
