Coast Guard sinks Japanese "ghost" ship





I remain hopeful that enough voters will remember that moderate positions on issues was what made America a great place to live for people with diverse ideas. Those being led around by the nose by their allegedly ultraconservative party should remember that their party is becoming less inclusive by the day. If you are not white and rich the GOP only want you for your vote. Unless the GOP return to the idea that America is for all Americans, the risk of you being marginalized is quite high.
An interesting choose of analogies caterpillars to women!
I would counter to say, Mitt is more the caterpillar, changing from lava to caterpillar to moth to cocoon.. As his positions change for the GOP base
Rachel, when the monthly USA job rate is posted, can you post the number of jobs that went overseas in the same period?
Well I'm glad 'the Orkin man' is raising money...what I find interesting is that while he is denying the 'War on Women' he also had a testy exchange with Carol Costello where he accused her of using 'Democratic talking points' and then said 'I KNOW who you'll vote for!'...way to gain a voter, caterpillar man...

Rachael, I am so glad you talked about the stealing of democracy via the appointed Managers of local communities, who are basically dictators. Could you write a WAPO op-ed on the subject, also one on the Karl Rove playbook Romney is using to attack President Obama. We need to get these ideas before the general public. Even Brian Williams, and other NBC network host should comment on these subjects. Us guys, and gals, your fans get it but not everyone watches cable shows.
Rachel are you saying Mitt Romney only sent his sons to Harvard? Where do his daughters go?
A propos of the rhetoric about the founding fathers and their Christianity, here's a very helpful study:
