I think Dick Cheney couched his remarks well.
Kerry and Cheney have the same position on GAy Marriage....
If he wasn't supportive of his daughter he'd be a jerk in my eyes.
Dads back their kids up, pretty much whatever boneheaded thing they do.
I basically agree that its the states right. I am certain that Cheney would not have said this without Bush's approval.
You know it. Cheney is a stand up guy. IMO, I don't think GWB really has a dog in the gay marriage fight.
The media is making much ado about nothing. He has a right to his opinion and has contributed immensely to this administration.
""President Bush is feeling the heat. The administration has been using gay Americans to drive a wedge into the electorate. There are millions of American families who have gay family members and friends, who are offended by the president's use of discrimination," Fisher said. "
This is so damn annoying. Its okay for the far left to use the courts to impose their radical agenday, but if anyone dares give voice to majority opinon then THEY are being divisive.
I just wish these people would be honest and tell the American people that they couldn't care less what they think; that they fully intend on using the courts to defacto amend the Constitution and impose gay marriage on the entire nation. At least then one could respect their honesty.
People were shocked. But I wasn't. I respected my parents for following through on their convictions and I respected my Brother for following through on his.
Yeah, the let-the-states-decide approach would be fine if not for the courts who have no regard for that option.
Sooner or later some Amendment will be necessary to stop the courts and their reckless usurpation of power. I guess it need not ban gay marriage; simply and explicitly empowering the states and removing the courts from the issue would probably do. Then the post-Christian states could do as they please, while the South, most of the Midwest, Sunbelt, Rocky Mtn West, Central Plains, etc could keep marriage as it has always been.
Oh puh_leeez. Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage act and is against a Constitutional Amendment.
With all due respects, Cheney should have just kept silent. He's not going to win votes from the Left and the Right will just get more frustrated.
That is why it passed in Missouri by about 70% of the vote and got conservative to the polls in mass.
I agree. I think Barney's as straight as they come.
I thought Perkins was an actor:
I'm sure glad my dad didn't take this approach. He actually (gasp) took moral stands and made me see that there was a higher road. Silly guy!
So? Missouri will go Blue----again, just like Pennsylvania. Mark my words.
Since you live in Indiana, perhaps you can give us your stance on said issue?
Cheney's remarks are the last thing conservatives should worry about, since he didn't say anything about gay marriages or special rights for gays. Clearly, there are bigger fish to fry.
Not unless Cheney backs court mandated civil unions.
I love Cheney but he should have kept his fat mouth shut on this. VPs aren't supposed to yap about how they disagree with the President on any subject and are supposed to advocate the President's positions not their own.
