Honestly, I wasn't too surprised. I'm more surprised that a Dem didn't do it first.
GWB isn't a Conservative Republican....
I agree!
Of course, I could have been really, really, really, outstandingly near-death drunk.
No one posting here knows whether this child was conceived via artificial insemination or the old fashioned way. If the child was conceived the old fashioned way, no one on this board knows whether the father will be involved in the child's life or not.
If the child was conceived via artificial insemination, no one here still knows whether the donor will be involved in the child's life or not either.
I'm sure no one here thinks that a woman is automatically doing her child harm if the natural father was killed defending our freedom in Iraq and the widow and mother chose not to remarry.
Ms. Cheney isn't going affect too much because her pregnancy is the RESULT of society that accepts every type of immorality that you can imagine. The damage has already been done.
Thank you to all the people who stood by and watched society degrade itself because you wanted to turn the blinders on and think that things would get better on their own without you stepping in and saying it was wrong.
How soon we forget:
Bush appoints gay man to head AIDS office
April 9, 2001
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush has appointed an openly gay Republican to lead his Office of National AIDS Policy, the White House announced Monday.
White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer suggested that Scott Evertz's sexual orientation was not an issue for Bush.
"The president picks the best people for their jobs, regardless of what their backgrounds may or may not be, and that is why he has chosen Scott," Fleischer said. "The president respects him, knows that he is a leader in the community that is fighting AIDS, and he will be welcome at this White House."
Evertz, 38, is a fund-raising executive with a faith-based senior citizens program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Evertz will become the first gay person to lead the office, which President Clinton formed in 1994.
Fleischer said the office would have "an increased focus on international components" because of the spread of AIDS around the world.
He said Evertz's office would coordinate policy with the departments of State, Health and Human Services, and the White House Domestic Policy Council. A full-time representative from the departments is expected to work in the AIDS policy office.
Fleischer demurred when asked whether Bush wanted to fight the stigma of homosexuality.
"I think what's important is to allow the office to develop and to come up with as many ideas as they can to fight what has been just a growing international problem that's wreaking terrible, terrible problems in many communities across our country and around the world," he said.
Earlier, an official told CNN that the Bush budget provides an increase in AIDS/HIV funding through the HHS department. It also boosts funding for AIDS/HIV at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by $23 million.
Evertz is the Wisconsin president of the Log Cabin Republicans, the most influential gay and lesbian Republican organization in the country. Bush met with Evertz and other Log Cabin Republicans in Austin last April, a move that drew attention because the GOP's 1996 presidential nominee, Bob Dole, refused to meet with them and also returned campaign donations.
The Austin meeting, however, occurred after the primary fight with Sen. John McCain of Arizona was over. Bush declined to meet with the Log Cabin Republicans during the primaries.
A White House official said Evertz will lead an expanded effort to confront AIDS at home and abroad.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday the White House agrees with the Clinton administration's conclusion that the global spread of AIDS has become a national security issue.
"It is an area of great concern," Cheney said.
Excellent post!
Come on now, you don't have to hide your hate like that.
I've since decided that this thread is simply too ugly for me to abide.
Mary Cheney's pregnancy is none of our business. She doesn't stick her nose in the newspaper's business, so what's their problem? She's pregnant, and that's that! Go and report on something that will actually help...
