It's about free will. God gave us free will, Kerry trod all over that in Mary Cheney's case. If she had wanted the issue made public, on a worldwide stage, it was her choice to do so, not Mr. Kerry's and not Mr. Edwards'. This is why the right to privacy was placed in our Bill of Rights, and considered as so important by the Founding Fathers of this nation. If God gave us free will, we have no right to mess with any person's free will...or privacy... in such a fashion. John-John not only violated her God-given rights, they violated her Constitutional rights.
The crassnes of the act of doing such a thing is very telling on it's own. It reveals the characters of the candidates and of their politics. Those politics apparently care little for other's privacy, nor for The Constitution.
These two men who wish to lead the world's greatest power have only mastered the "skills" of 11 year olds on a playground, they can not possibly be trusted with "diplomacy" with world leaders and terrorists.
