Now I am suppose...Cheney is a cretin and a coward. Now I am supposed to thank him for loving his own kid? And why shouldn't Mary Cheney be who she is publicly, unless you are implying her father's politics are more important than her life. Cheney has never believed in anything other than his own little solipsistic world. Show me one example of when he sacrificed anything. And please, being VP ain't a sacrifice. <br /><br />charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-73781527341461224622010-01-08T14:17:37.020-05:002010-01-08T14:17:37.020-05:00Mr. Cheney is on the record favoring a State's...Mr. Cheney is on the record favoring a State's right to decide SSM. He didn't have to make that belief public. I am certain he came to this belief because his daughter is a lesbian. How human of him to reexamine his beliefs because of what his daughter means to him. I also am certain that because of Mr. Cheney, not a few people on the right will examine and change their own beliefs about gay rights. And for that, you can thank Mary Cheney's honesty and her father's love for his daughter.Gadfly Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-44428172416034232402010-01-08T13:33:51.706-05:002010-01-08T13:33:51.706-05:00come on, the only reason Cheney tolerates the idea...come on, the only reason Cheney tolerates the idea of gay marriage (and remember he never once advocated for it forcefully) is because his daughter is a lesbian. Cheney is the definition of solipsistic. If he had a son who was a Morman bigamist, he would accept bigamy. It has nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with what he feels is in the best interest of himself and his family. At most I can credit Dick with is not disowning his daughter, but considering he is about as soulless an individual that ever lived I doubt religion has ever factored into anything Cheney has ever done. In fact, I challenge anyone here to come up with any quote by Cheney testifying to his personal relationship with Jesus. <br /><br />charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-27284312547978001472010-01-08T11:19:52.482-05:002010-01-08T11:19:52.482-05:00It says something about the suckweasel nature of t...<i> It says something about the suckweasel nature of the current Democratic Party that Darth Cheney has a more compassionate view of gay rights than the Democratic legislature of a Blue state. </i><br /><br />Well, I'm not typically inclined to take the same viewpoint as you, GJ, but on this particular point I can't help but agree.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213051268392108382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393996338560944889.post-61795471405566228862010-01-08T09:30:25.502-05:002010-01-08T09:30:25.502-05:00It says something about the suckweasel nature of t...It says something about the suckweasel nature of the current Democratic Party that Darth Cheney has a more compassionate view of gay rights than the Democratic legislature of a Blue state.<br /><br />I want to be an independent, but the criminal and corrupt behavior of Democrats at all levels is forcing me to vote anyone-but-Democrat.

The sexism I endured from my family of origin, which continued into my 50s, will always hurt.<br /><br />I posted earlier about being old enough to understand the fuss over JFK. I'm also old enough to have seen the tremendous strides in America's attitude toward gays and lesbians. My personal change in this area is a microcosm of these strides.
