Democrats and Republicans: losses, explanations, and excuses

The New Neo Posted on September 23, 2008 by neoOctober 2, 2008

It’s been shaping up for quite some time now—the Democrat explanation in the event of an Obama loss. Of course, if Obama should win the election—a distinct possiblity—excuses will not come into play. It will be the Republicans who will … Continue reading →

Getting gloomy about the dismal science

The New Neo Posted on September 18, 2008 by neoOctober 2, 2008

How did all these brilliant economic minds, and our dedicated public servants in Congress and the White House, fail to foresee and prevent the current fiscal crisis? My take on the matter is not the opinion of an expert; au … Continue reading →

That reformist Democratic Congress

The New Neo Posted on September 17, 2008 by neoSeptember 17, 2008

Love that Pelosi. Rangel’s woes? Nothing much to see there; moving right along. ‘ Democrat involvement in the long and complex build-up to the current subprime mortgage crisis? Nah; it’s all the Republicans’ fault, according to Pelosi. Forget history, forget … Continue reading →

Playing the blame game in the Wall Street crisis

The New Neo Posted on September 16, 2008 by neoFebruary 27, 2009

The current financial crisis proves the maxim that there’s no free lunch—or rather, there may seem to be a free lunch, but the bill is merely deferred, and ultimately it comes due with interest. How is it that all these … Continue reading →

The Vice Presidential pick: a test of judgment

The New Neo Posted on September 10, 2008 by neoSeptember 17, 2008

In all the verbiage about McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin versus Obama’s rejection of Hillary, one especially important point is what it says about the judgment of both candidates. On the face of it, Obama’s choice of Biden seemed “safe.” … Continue reading →

A thought on timing in elections

The New Neo Posted on September 9, 2008 by neoSeptember 17, 2008

An election is a snapshot, a single poll taken on a particular day. Opinions, on the other hand, are in flux. Part of Obama’s good luck so far has been his timing.

Thursday night thoughts

The New Neo Posted on September 4, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

Lindsay Graham did well to remind us of how wrong Obama was on the surge, how close some of the Congressional votes were, and how right John McCain was. But Graham is incorrect when he says that Obama has never … Continue reading →

Rules for the female campaign road: let’s hear it for the Vestal Virgin

The New Neo Posted on September 3, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

Watching the Palin feeding frenzy, it occurs to me that we now have new rules for female candidates. These rules apply almost exclusively to candidates on the Right, of course; those on the Left (unless their name happens to be … Continue reading →

The Palin fake-pregnancy rumors: the latest in a long line of campaign garbage

The New Neo Posted on September 1, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

I think Palin’s nomination has caused much of the Left to flip its collective wig, or what’s left of it (puns intended). The rumors about Palin’s baby—that it really was conceived by her 16-year-old daughter and that Palin faked her … Continue reading →

Palin: a less-wordy Obama for the Right?

The New Neo Posted on August 31, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

The blogs and airwaves are alive with Democrats looking down on Sarah Palin. She’s inexperienced. She’s just a pretty face. She was chosen merely for her gender and her “Movie of the Week” life story. Sound familiar? Just change the … Continue reading →

Palin: playing the inexperience card is a loser for the Democrats

The New Neo Posted on August 30, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

It would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. The Democrats and the Obama campaign are accusing Sarah Palin of being too inexperienced to be Vice-President. This would be an excellent plan of attack—after all, she is relatively inexperienced for … Continue reading →

McCain/Palin: young at heart

The New Neo Posted on August 29, 2008 by neoSeptember 8, 2008

John McCain has announced the stunning choice of Sarah Palin for Vice President. It’s stunning not only because she’s gorgeous. It’s stunning because it shows that John McCain isn’t quite as predictable and stuck in an old-white-guy rut as the … Continue reading →
