Jack, you are confusing free speech with despicable public argument. It really has almost nothing to do with religion, but everything to do with fighting fair. An insignificant idiot can say what he will, but perhaps -- once again -- people who ask for your vote might actually have to meet a reasonable minimum. This is incredibly refreshing. In the years since Gingrich, especially on the crest of Karl Rove, we seemed to have reached new lows.

Saxby Chambliss' totally deplorable campaign against Max Cleland, suggested we have no limits. The lawyer who asked Sen. McCarthy if he had no shame in the 50s was an anachronism. But I don't think I'm alone in my disgust with this sort of politics.

It's gratifying to find out that there is a limit, and since Liddy Dole seems to have crossed it, she deserves to be called out.
