I choose centrism over partisanship. I choose pragmatism over ideology. I choose faith over doubt. I choose unity over division. I choose tolerance over intolerance. I choose debate over vitriol. I choose freedom over oppression. I choose truth over propaganda. I choose justice over revenge. I choose peace over war. I choose logic over absent [...]
“I voted for the lady … – I didn’t like all of the junk that the other campaigns were saying about the lady.” South Carolina voter. When an Indian-American lawmaker took on the status quo of her state, things got ugly fast. For gubernatorial hopeful, Nikki Haley, the ride to the top has been an uphill battle; [...]
Andrew Sullivan is right about Sarah Palin’s presumed presidential run. His bottom line: She’s running. And I’m inclined to agree. Palin 2012 is already in motion. And some are frothing at the mouth at the prospect. But Sullivan isn’t one of them. “She has wanted to be president for much of her adult political life. She wanted it well over a decade ago. [...]
