Are we supposed to believe that CNN couldn’t find actual, like, you know, REPUBLICANS TO ASK THEIR OWN GODDAMN CANDIDATES A QUESTION?
Maybe they couldn't. Did you submit a question? Did any Republican you know submit a question?
This past month, the National Republican Congressional Committee had a contest asking anyone to submit a short campaign video to YouTube advertising the ineffectiveness of the current Democratic Congress. After the full five weeks of the contest, there were only five submissions to be found on YouTube! Hillary got a dozens of times that number of submissions for a mere campaign theme song.
If you wanted more questions from Republicans then, perhaps, as a Republican you should have submitted some.

LEFTY BLOGS ON FAKE LOTT SEX SMEAR: "LET'S RUN WITH IT ANYWAY"
Just keep in mind that the male escort has “gone on record†saying no such thing. He referred vaguely to “confidentiality†for clients.
Actually, what this "going on record" refers to is the article in the Stranger that this escort wrote last year chastising a different escort for exposing Ted Haggard. In this article, he said that he would "sure as hell never out [a client]". That's on the record, I think.
The article is here:

IN WHICH IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT CENK UYGUR IS A BRAINLESS TWIT
A couple of points.
I don't know if Mahmoud would hasten the coming of the 12th imam by vapourizing the Dome of the Rock Mosque. Number 2 in Islamic holiness after Mecca/Medina. Then again, anything is possible and thinking that islam can attribute sacrilege to religious objects and places may be a stretch.
The American people did not vote against the war as is the current talking point on CNN, KOS and Radio America. Far from it. In fact the only candidate that ran on a explicit anti-war stump (Lamont) was defeated. Most Democrats ran on a "Change of course" agenda. The most outspoken anti-war democrats are the incumbents in congress, who did not run. And the Murtha/Pelosi democrats have not had their way since taking the helm. Think about it for a second before you spout the america voted against the war bullshit. In fact the jury is out on how the red state freshmen vote on this and other conservative type issues.
As unhinged as CIndy and the other far left have been, they have caught on to this faster than the lefty blogsphere.
Iran doesn't have elections in the true sense of the word. Candidates on the ballot are hand picked by the supreme council. Last election 1000s of opposition candidates were disqualified from running. Those aren;t elections, thats a sham and a gambit to impress upon the impressionable that it is a democracy. Ask Iranian student leaders, Tehran Bus Driver Unions and any womens groups if they live in a democracy. Or if they feel free for that matter.
America does have the right to tell others what to do and say. Because we are a free market, capitalistic democracy and a super power that has never endured a dictatorship in its 200+ yr history. I am not ashamed of my country's unique position in the world. I would rather America have this preogative than the feckless UN or any other type of multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, supra-national body. And that is essentially the crux of the left right argument when in comes to foreign policy. Distrust of our own government versus distrust of other national governments/UN.

That wasn't Josh Marshall, it was a guest poster on TPM. Josh has taken quite the opposite view and has made clear his position on Joe Lieberman, a view which you have simplified, distorted, and trivialized. Hint: It's more than Iraq.

THE WARRANTLESS GEIGER COUNTER
The righteous indignation is fun and all, Rick, but while you rant about how the FBI should be allowed to sit outside everyone's house doing whatever they want to protect us from a nuclear attack, the simple fact of the matter is that Franklin was right - under Bush, we now have neither liberty nor security. Despite the ecommendstion of just about every expert ever, our shipping is woefully unsecured. Only 2% of containers entering the country are ever inspected. Al Qaeda is juat as aware of that as the administration is, but Bush has done nothing about it. So go ahead - cheer them on as they destroy everything this country once stood for, but remember this - it han't made you any safer, just less of an American.

IRAN FORCING SHOWDOWN OVER ITS NUKES
Not to quibble with a secondary point, but there are a couple of instances in American history where we have been almost completely isolationist in sentiment and practice. Unless we close down the borders, ground the planes, jam the airwaves, and shut off the internet, we're not going to see a return to American isolationism any time soon.
