No Privacy for You!

From Taegan Goddard's Political Wire:
Giuliani Seeks Privacy
After his son's comments about his relationship with his father and stepmother, the Los Angeles Times says Rudy Giuliani requested privacy around his family issues:

"My wife Judith is a very loving and caring, good mother and... stepmother. She has done everything she can. The responsibility is mine and I believe that these problems with blended families are challenges, sometimes they are. And the challenges are best worked on in private. The more privacy I can have for my family, the better we are going to be able to deal with all these difficulties."

The Hotline: "It may be unfair, but almost nothing reflects personal character better than -- or more accurately than -- your family. We think: If Giuliani is disqualified by Republicans, it'll be because the sturdy statue of his character collapses, not because he is pro-choice."
Um... No! Sorry douchebag. All a lot of people want is privacy and that's why they don't run for President. But you, my douchey friend, are carrying water for a political party that wants to put itself in the middle of every personal decision of Americans. Nope. No privacy for you.

When you respect the private decisions of gays and lesbians and repudiate the Republican Party's push for a Federal Marriage Amendment and publicly support an individuals right to love whomever they so choose, then you, too, can have some privacy.

When you respect the privacy of women to make their own medical decisions and repudiate the Republican Party's assault on Roe v. Wade, then you, too, can have some privacy.

When you respect the privacy of American citizens placing phones calls, sending emails, or engaging in other free speech, then you, too, can have some privacy.

Or when you drop out of the Presidential race and return to a "private" life, then you, too, can have some privacy.

Not. One. Minute. Sooner.
