Obama (5.00 / 5) (#24)
by cal1942 on Fri May 09, 2008 at 01:58:33 AM EST
is a neoliberal.  A modern variant of the classical liberal.  In other words, a conservative.

The neoliberal supports "free" trade and some believe that the "free" market solves every conceivable problem.

Obama's economics team consists of free market, free trade ideologues.  His Conservative leanings on economic matters have stuck out like a sore thumb from the start. Hell, by comparison, he practically makes Hillary look like a Socialist.

IMO you can't describe yourself as a liberal if you're an economic conservative.

Industrial workers are suspicious of him with good reason.

IMO the biggest joke of this campaign is some "liberals" supporting Obama.  And they call us low information voters.

But there's always something to divide us and I have to disagree on the following subject:

It is not rude to leave Christmas lights on into January. Ever hear of the yule log? Burns from Dec. 24 to Jan. 6 (Epiphany). The Twelve Days of Christmas.

When I was a kid my family's version (no fireplace) was to leave the tree up, lit every night, until Jan. 6.

that I'm a "belle" with stupid judgments, didn't I?  I'm the joke of my own famiy for my judgments on this.

But to the real heart of your message?

Thanks.  I'm honstly trying to catch up here with what is and isn't liberal/progressive.

I was super-active politically in my 20s.  Then I had a baby.  I just got busy making money and raising a kid.  That's the truth.

I feel like I've stepped into the twilight zone.  So many things I assumed are, clearly, not to be assumed.

So I appreciate the explanation of the neo-whatever.

Melting pumpkins are as offensive to me as pseudo-liberals.

I stand firm.  :)

In other words, a conservative.

how do you explain his voting record - the most liberal in the senate?
