Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Of course Rachel takes this issue and does her usual incredible job of adding new data and defining it in a way that should make it easily understandable even to those ignorant enough to think that more guns equals more safety.
Yeah I know, even Rachel Maddow cannot explain clearly well enough for THAT crows to understand!
"So she's wielding power, but avoiding actual responsibilities. Perhaps that's what she's wanted all along." I don't agree with much of what Sharpton says in this segment, but I certainly do agree with this assessment.
Palin has always wanted to be taken seriously without having to try very hard, AND without risking the chance of being revealed as a lightweight phony who is tragically unqualified for whatever she is attempting to pass herself off as these days. Be that as a good mother, a political pundit, or a serious candidate for office.
I am not at all thrilled to see ANYBODY taking Palin even remotely seriously, especially my favorite news organization, and I appreciate that Dana Milbank put things into perspective.
Look, Palin is going to make a correct choice once in awhile, it is just the law of averages, but that certainly does not mean that HER endorsement had much to do with Fischer's upset, nor does it mean ANYTHING in the upcoming election against Bob Kerrey.
As it so happens Fischer was the least known candidate, with the least amount of baggage, much like Palin herself was when SHE was elected Governor of Alaska. And we all know how that worked out.
Palin may be riding high right now, having accidentally stumbled onto a winning endorsement this time, but considering Palin's track record this high is unlikely to last very long.
