Chrissy Gephardt, a lesbian, plans to help her father seek the support of gays and be active on other issues.

WASHINGTON - Rep. Richard Gephardt's daughter Chrissy, a lesbian, will be helping the congressman to try to secure support from gays and lesbians as he campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Chrissy, a 30-year-old social worker...

Here's someone who knows all about the real world.

Dick Cheney has a daughter who is an admitted lesbian, how is the fact his daughter is also a lesbian supposed to help Dick Gephardt's chances?

[areafiftyone]

The Gay democratic vote! Apparently the Democreeps think this is very important - I don't know why! It also will help with the ultra liberal voters who may not be gay but who are pro-gay rights!

He is going after the Taco Belle vote.

Dems tout stances on gays

I say let them go for it. In courting a measley "supposed" 4% of the voters they will alienate a HUGE percentage of the rest of them.

Well, she's literally a "gay divorcee".

You are correct is writed "supposed". The 4% number is too high. They make 4% of the noise (well actually a lot more).

"He is going after the Taco Belle vote."

Hmmmm - Chicken, beef or diesel?

[Lunatic Fringe]

Hmm, two lesbian daughters of men named "Dick."

I believe there is something Freudian about this....

Have you forgotten that the republicrats have been sucking up, (pardon the expression) to the limp wrists in recent meetings? Hey a vote is a vote. They may even come up with the novel idea of giving 3,000,00 illegas citienship. A vote is a vote. F the law.

""She's going to be active in the campaign, and she'll go talk to gay and lesbian groups and all kinds of groups," Gephardt said."

Uhh ... does that include churches, the Boy Scouts, and military organizations?

Gephardt was a loser the first time he ran, back in 1988, and he'll be a loser this time. I bet that he never raises enough money to get to the first primary.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Why is everyone bending over backwards for the Gay vote?

[areafiftyone]

For some reason the Democreeps are trying to prove that they are ultra liberal this time around! I guess they figure they already have the Black vote and may have a little bit of the Hispanic vote so what is left? The Gay vote!

Perhaps Cheney and Gephardt's daughters know and socialize with each other..wouldn't be a surprise...

It took two years before this came out--what timing. These people are beneath contempt and would do absolutely anything for a vote.

In a repeat of 1988, his next "expose" will be about the continuing health problems of his son who had cancer as a toddler.

His mother died a couple of weeks ago. It is a relief that she doesn't have to endure the public exposure of another family secret.
