CARLSON: We think of liberals as less religious than conservatives. And all surveys of voting behavior bear that out. The more often you go to church, the more likely you are to vote Republican.

I think Carlson is getting better.
LOL, another sissified "man" speaking for the right, he and Scarborough are quite embarrassing, no wonder the left hires them.
I'll take your word for it, but I still think he was pretty much a prison bitch for James Carville, and that ain't a good visual.
He has moved up in my listing of non-liberal TV hosts, to the number 2 slot behind John Stossel.
