What price on privacy?

I did nothing wrong. I stand by that. This is just ... incredible, that this would be such a big deal in our country today. This isn't the country I grew up in; it is unpatriotic to treat people the way the media will be treating me over this 'incident'.

Friends, this is America: I have fought against raising the federal minimum wage. I have fought against putting trees, air, and earth above giving people jobs that fill their lungs with glorious, American polution. I fought for six years as a POW. And I'm fighting now for privacy - the privacy of all Americans to place nude photos of themselves in their vehicles. I know what fear feels like: to have the officer say "Open the trunk, please Mr McCain." And, if elected, I promise to pass legislation that sends a clear message to those fat cats down at the capital: self-pornography can safely be stored in our cars, in our office desks, and in our wallets.

Isn't that what America is about?
