The Huckabee ruckus

The New Neo Posted on January 25, 2014 by neoJanuary 25, 2014

Let’s just stipulate that Mike Huckabee is not exactly a young up-and-comer in the Republican Party. I don’t think he was going anywhere in 2016 anyway. Let’s also stipulate that his recent remarks were mostly about what he perceives Democrats … Continue reading →

Impatience: Virginia AG Mark Herring refuses to defend the state’s gay marriage ban

The New Neo Posted on January 23, 2014 by neoJanuary 23, 2014

Mark Herring, Virginia’s newly-elected AG in a photo-finish race that featured a recount, will be joining the plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging the state’s ban on gay marriage. So not only is he declining to defend the state’s gay marriage ban, … Continue reading →

More from the Wendy Davis campaign: Greg Abbott; what does he know of struggle?

The New Neo Posted on January 22, 2014 by neoJanuary 22, 2014

Yesterday I wrote a post about Wendy Davis that got quite a bit of blogosphere attention and traffic. It contained the surprising (to me, anyway; most Texans already knew it) piece of information that Davis’s opponent Greg Abbott has been … Continue reading →

Wendy Davis: “empowerment” and the poor little woman; “struggle” and the man

The New Neo Posted on January 21, 2014 by neoJanuary 21, 2014

There’s a lot in the Wendy Davis story besides Davis and her constructed and false “narrative.” Here is one of Davis’ most recent official statements on the matter, a little masterpiece of accusing the accusers: We’re not surprised by Greg … Continue reading →

How many euphemisms can you think of for the word “lie”?

The New Neo Posted on January 21, 2014 by neoJanuary 21, 2014

However many you can think of, the MSM can probably think of more—if they’re talking about the lies of a Democrat. When it first emerged that Obama’s “if you like your [fill in the blank] you can keep your [fill … Continue reading →

Republicans: why can’t we all get along?

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2014 by neoJanuary 18, 2014

Trying to get Republicans to agree on something is like herding cats. Democrats tend to hang together for the good of the Party and the larger vision, as well as the promise of more specific rewards for cooperation (jobs, pork, … Continue reading →

Impeaching Obama

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2014 by neoJanuary 18, 2014

On a Hot Air thread about the desirability of impeaching Obama I saw this comment: Impeachment would be like a child throwing a temper tantrum ”” lots of sound and fury signifying extreme frustration. But in the end Obama would … Continue reading →

Hey, let’s pile on Christie!

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2014 by neoJanuary 18, 2014

Like sharks in the water, they smell blood. So there will probably be more of this sort of allegation, which seems to rest on word of mouth and involves two more officials in Christie’s administration. And I would not be … Continue reading →

Want to know what Scott Walker thinks about it?

The New Neo Posted on January 17, 2014 by neoJanuary 17, 2014

He tells you, here, in a long interview with John Hawkins of Right Wing News. On Obamacare: …[W]hat we should be doing is sharing in the frustration that most Americans have with it and then showing them that we’ve got … Continue reading →

Ben Sasse…

The New Neo Posted on January 13, 2014 by neoJanuary 13, 2014

…who’s running for the Senate from Nebraska, sounds like a good guy to me. Nebraska born and bred. Harvard undergrad. Ph.D. in history from Yale, his prize-winning doctoral thesis was on populist conservatism from the 1950s to the 1970s. Lots … Continue reading →

Getting Christie

The New Neo Posted on January 9, 2014 by neoJanuary 9, 2014

Anti-Christie forces have struck pay dirt with the revelations that some of his aides were engaged in some mighty nefarious and completely indefensible practices. The scandal involving aides who engineered George Washington Bridge lane closings as an act of political … Continue reading →

Luntz, entitlement, divisiveness, and the conservative message

The New Neo Posted on January 6, 2014 by neoJanuary 6, 2014

This Atlantic article by Molly Ball, entitled “The Agony of Frank Luntz,” has an odd tone. Is it snarky? Is it objective? I can’t really tell, although I’d vote for “snarky.” I’m not really all that interested in the article … Continue reading →
