Kicked in the teeth again by the Bush Administration.

Personally I think they are reading way too much into this, but I would agree that the caption to the photo isn't in line with Whitehouse policy.

I agree. They are reading way, way too much into this one. After all, what're they going to say? The only other option is to just not name one of the people in the picture. I feel bad for this child, as I think it's unfair to grow up without a father, and it's especially unfortunate when that happens to a child by the choice of his parent(s).

[Goldwater and Gingrich]

Should Dick Cheney strangle the kid when none are looking? What would happen if they refused to see the child?

There is a good chance that the “father” will split before too long, it happens lot in these types of partnerships.

The child deserves love and forgiveness and will need more support from the grandparents than one raised in a healthily normal family. It looks like Cheney and his wife will make a good set of grand parents.

The paernts are the mother and whoever donated the sperm.

Most definitely.

[MEGoody]

I’ve seen nothing to indicate the Cheneys disagree with their daughter on her lifestyle.

What would you have him do, specifically?

[rintense]

Agreed. Weak argument.

Thanks to the Christian News Wire, I now realize that my real parents are not the people who fed me, housed me, clothed me, and cared for me when I was sick -- because I do not have a biological connection to them -- but rather, my real parents are two strangers who I know nothing about...

Thanks for that post. I have an adopted daughter, and if anyone from the "Christian" News Wire ever dared to suggest that she somehow wasn't really my daughter, they'd have one angry momma to deal with. Why this group is sticking its nose into someone else's private family business (especially our Vice President's family) is beyond me.

I have no qualms with the Cheneys welcoming this little angel into their family. My only question is, have they issued official pictures when their other 5 grandchildren were born?

[mngran]

The child deserves love and forgiveness...

What on earth has this child done that could possibly require forgiveness?

[Alouette]

Congratulations to Dick and Lynne Cheney on the grandbaby. He is theirs; they love him.

What are they supposed to do?

[Lijahsbubbe]

His parents are the Cheney's daughter Mary, and her partner, Heather Poe

Ick.

I agree. Dick Cheney will be a loving grandfaher and will continue to be a loving father. Disowning one’s children because they are gay is not an act of love. Being a good father, and in this case a grandfather, too, in spite of his daughter’s ‘preference’ is a very big act of fatherly love. I mean, come on, this baby has Dick Cheney as a grandfather!

[doc30]

What would you have him do, specifically?

THank you for asking that question.

I will enjoy crickets chirping as I wait for some of these poster to reply.

[onedoug]

Bush is morphing into more of a democrat before our eyes. What’s the surprise?

[Wiseghy]

Reading this as sometype of endorsement is ridiculous.

This forum certainly has people who feel strongly about issues, but trying to read something like this into a family photo shows a Kerry-like spin on Lynn.

[napscoordinator]

I would say they are definitely reading into it AND quite a dishonest title if you ask me. That is a stretch at best. I was expecting to read something about how George Bush added something on the website praising gay marriage or something. This is just a total distortion of the truth. Man I think this website and whoever the author is wanted George Bush to spit on Vice President Cheney or something. I am not for all this nonsense either, but to lie and distort is not right.

[Frwy]

Let no one suggest he is the second coming.

[Between the Lines]

Thanks to the Christian News Wire...

No, you have The Parents Group who wrote this article to thank for this. Christian News Wire neither writes nor edits the articles on it site. It is merely a site where Christian groups can present their own press releases.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

How about this.

If Seinfeld has to say “not that there’s anything wrong with that” in an episode discussing homosexuality, how about if our representatives, like Bush, are required to say, “not that we recommend children being raised in same-sex arrangements”?

What’s good for the goose...

Of course this won’t happen, because it’s not PC. But it is PC that is killing us as a nation and helping to split the traditional family apart, which is the bedrock of our nation.

No, we’ll all just smile and say automatically, like Pavlov’s dogs whenever we mention what doesn’t look right and what history has proved to be harmful to people and nations, “not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
