67. No, it's not a matter of being mafia. It's fighting the debate HE started
I'm not doing "mafia justice". Cheney isn't making a real argument when he says the debate is involving his daughter personally. She is a public personality who is in charge of his reelection campaign and who is openly gay. When he switches side in the midst of a debate and the debate is about whether teh government should try to control parts of people's personal lives, then it's fair game to discuss how the policy will harm people who work for him.

Sorry that it seems intrusive to you. But this is all part of a fair open argument, not about destroying personal lives or reputations.
