Obama calls for tax hikes on the rich…

The New Neo Posted on July 9, 2012 by neoJuly 9, 2012

…otherwise known as letting the so-called “Bush tax cuts” expire for those making over $250,000. Are these really “rich” people? Was Charles Schumer (he’s a Democrat, but he’s from New York) correct when he said last year that, “in large … Continue reading →

Recalling the recall

The New Neo Posted on June 6, 2012 by neoJune 6, 2012

Last night I was listening to some talking heads nattering on about the results of the Wisconsin recall. What it means for Obama, what it means for public sector unions, what it means for Democrats, what it means for Romney. … Continue reading →

The significance of today’s Wisconsin recall vote

The New Neo Posted on June 5, 2012 by neoJune 5, 2012

Succinctly put: Unless the voters in Wisconsin decide to surprise us all [today], the trouble in the Badger State means trouble ahead for public sector unions across the country. A Scott Walker victory would reshape not just Republican politics but … Continue reading →

Some politicians are flip-floppers…

The New Neo Posted on June 2, 2012 by neoJune 2, 2012

…but Elizabeth Warren is just a flipper. And also, I suppose, a hypocrite. Although it’s an interesting question: is a person who rails against “predatory banks and heartless foreclosures” allowed to profit from those foreclosures? Is Warren just against the … Continue reading →

“In tough fight with Romney…

The New Neo Posted on June 2, 2012 by neoJune 2, 2012

…Obama longs for McCain,” says the Washington Examiner headline. The above photo was presciently supplied by Vanderleun at American Digest back on Dec. 2, 2011. But he was joking about the Republican primaries; who knew it would be Obama who’d … Continue reading →

Tiresome arguments, necessary arguments

The New Neo Posted on May 22, 2012 by neoMay 22, 2012

I was starting to write a post about this Ed Koch endorsement of Obama. My plan was to point out what the piece said about Romney’s positions vs. his actual stated positions, highlighting the sometimes subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle distortions … Continue reading →

The “nauseating” attack on Romney’s Bain record

The New Neo Posted on May 21, 2012 by neoMay 21, 2012

Cory Booker, mayor of Newark and Obama supporter, voices an opinion and then retracts it somewhat: On NBC’s Meet the Press earlier on Sunday, Booker had strongly criticized an Obama campaign ad which attacked presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s tenure … Continue reading →

Hillary Clinton says she no longer cares about hair and makeup…

The New Neo Posted on May 9, 2012 by neoMay 9, 2012

…while looking nicely coiffed and wearing tasteful makeup. And yet I’m not going to hit her for hypocrisy. Hillary Clinton is now sixty-four years old, and although she’s no glamour puss, she looks perfectly fine for her age. Every now … Continue reading →

Lugar and the press

The New Neo Posted on May 9, 2012 by neoMay 9, 2012

Richard Mourdock primaried and yesterday ousted six-term Republican senator Dick Lugar in Indiana, and the MSM is very upset. As Michael Brendan Dougherty of Business Insider succinctly points out: The only time the press weeps at the loss of a … Continue reading →

How many pairs…

The New Neo Posted on May 8, 2012 by neoMay 8, 2012

…of gloves can Obama take off and still have more to go? I am so, so tired of reading that Obama is finally taking the gloves off. And amazingly enough, Obama seems to be asking people to keep hoping. It’s … Continue reading →

Does the allegation that Nancy Pelosi…

The New Neo Posted on May 1, 2012 by neoMay 1, 2012

…lied about and disguised her prior knowledge and approval of waterboarding surprise anyone? The people who care and who disapprove are almost certainly those who washed their hands of the abominable Pelosi long ago. People who think she’s great probably … Continue reading →

Humor and presidents and aging and…

The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2012 by neoApril 30, 2012

Now that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has passed, this might be the best time to state that this stuff is undignified and bothers me whoever does it, Democrat or Republican. I’m all for presidential humor, but it used to … Continue reading →
