Political Cartoons

I think a lot of people use "neoconservative" when they mean "neoliberal". My guess is because the perversion of the word "liberal" in the US means people struggle to think it could be connected to something that is largely the opposite of what they think "liberal" should mean (even if it is much closer to the original meaning of liberal). It's also really only useful when talking about economic policy (although the neoliberal will claim that all policy is economic policy, which is precisely their problem).
