McCaskill sounds like Kerry

To the editor:

Claire McCaskill sounded a lot like John Kerry and John Edwards the other day when she used Vice President Cheney's name to defend her position against the Marriage Protection Amendment. I am assuming she is referring to the vice president's daughter, who is openly gay.

What on earth does Dick Cheney's daughter have to do with McCaskill's support for gay marriage? More than 70 percent of Missourians voted in 2004 to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. McCaskill supported the minority position. To me, that is more on an issue than the sexual orientation of the vice president's daughter.
