No offense to Dick Cheney, but Mary looks like a dude.

[woofie]

Lets say she disagrees with her father.....so?

[CGASMIA68]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Its a guy trapped in a lesbians body

[Dane]

Maybe someone should put up a website of where Gephardt's lesbian daughter is at.

Gephardt has been silent on gay marriage, IIRC.

[international american]

This is beneath contempt..

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You know, libs can be down right mean!

Family members of politicians should be left alone unless they choose to be involved.

It is appears the homosexuals are getting desperate. They must have polling that shows they are loosing on this issue.

[muawiyah]

Did it maybe occur to any of these folks that Mary is not interested in marriage?

[BurtS188]

or that she doesn't agree with homosexual marriage?

c'mon stop using logic. ;-)

I agree. That is why the Chelsea Clinton ugly jokes when she was 13 really pissed me off. Not everybody did them, but the lib dems will just say that this makes Mary fair game.

wants the vice president's openly lesbian daughter to speak out against a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriages.

What, are all gays supposed to to think alike?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Who the f%# is John Aravosis to demand that Mary use her relationship with her father to attempt to manipulate his politics for Aravosis's agenda?  

I suspect Cheney and his daughter have made a peace with her sexuality....apparently John thinks those filial ties should mean less than John's own zealotry.

People like Aravosis should be ashamed of their behavior.

But then, if they had any shame, they wouldn't behave the way they do.

They annoyed me as well. Spouses, to a point, are fair game. But kids, grown or not, siblings, parents and so forth should be left alone unless they choose to insert themselves into the arena.

I hate to say it, but as much as many on the right trash gays and lesbians, it is a bit hypocritical for those same people on the right to rip the left for hammering Mary Cheney for being "absent."

Ultimately, though, I agree that the family members of politicos should be left alone unless they voluntarily join the fray. However, by working on the re-elect, I do believe Mary asked to join the fray.

I may be biased because my best friend is a lesbian (and a Republican who has worked professionally in statewide and Congressional, campaigns, on Capitol Hill as a press secretary, and for conservative organizations. For the record, she is opposed to gay marriage) but I sincerely believe we on the right need to avoid being labled as hypocrites on the "gay" issue: Are we pro-freedom, or are we merely proponents of the federal nanny state - albeit from a different angle than the liberals?

By the way, VP Cheney's view is the correct one: Gay marriage is a state's rights issue. However, unlike our esteemed VP (and my lesbian friend), for whom I have all the admiration in the world, I would not support GWB on a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Mary Cheney could put a trial lawyer to good use on this issue.

This is going to far. I don't have much use for gays, but this is not something Mr. or Mrs. Chaney can do much about themselves. I really don't think they raised her to be that way, but they have to live with it. If you don't like Mr. and Mrs. Chaney thats fine. If you want to voice an opinion of them fine. If you want to talk about their daughter then talk about her, she's in her thirtys.
She's not their responsibility anymore. I'm sorry about being old fashioned but if I've got a a beef with someone I go face to face with the person. If I was forced to go threw the back door with someone it wouldn't be using their gay children to get at them just because they were on the ticket running for vice president. I hope your children grew up like mine did and didn't become gay. Also the back door is lined with barriers of CLAYMORES so be careful if your coming through my backdoor!

This is propaganda tricks, Chenny has come out in favor of the FMA and so they attack the messenger.

Chenny becomes a MORE effective messenger because he has a daugher who practices homosexual sex.

Is this group going to attack parents who rejected their children who "came out"?

Of course it's insensitive, the time they released the photo of pork chop sticking out from under Chelsea's collar was very disturbing. I thought they had a cat though, not a dog?
