Cheney and Laura Bush are huge disappointments of late. I was a big Cheney fan for many years.

Same here.

I wonder if GWB's positions on the same issues were sincere?

For now I am choosing to believe they are.

If they are, I imagine they probably had some lively discussions concerning both Abortion and Gay Marriage.

I wonder if GWB's positions on the same issues were sincere?

I was going to say that I seriously question why a man that can win 60 million votes on an issue, can't persuade his wife to agree with him on it, but then I remembered Reagan, and I also remembered that I am divorced.

I just don't know how that works in a relationship like that, sometimes I wonder if a lot of rich people lack true passion about such ideas, and that part of their success is based on moderation and non confrontation on matters of conscience.

Well, I don’t think GWB and Laura ever discussed such issues at all, just not a priority on their radar screen.
