neoconservatives are pretty much explicitly focused on foreign policy and have pretty much zero policy on domestic matters.
since most neoconservatives were former liberals, lefties and trotskyists is would be fair to think they are more liberal on domestic issues than most conservatives, but since is there is almost zero statements on domestic issues from the neocons it's hard to know for sure.

You're confusing original neo-conservatives with current neo-conservatives, of which there is very little to any resemblance, much like original republicans and current republicans.
The neo-con ideology is far right, i.e. both domestic and foreign policies of the Bush Admin were right wing and conservative, there is little room to argue this fact.
PNAC is about as far right as you can get, and even though their prime target is foreign policy you can pretty much figure they won't be touting an expanded domestic social program agenda anytime soon;)
