Did you hear Rush Limbaugh regarding Kerry's mention of the Cheney's lesbian daughter in the debate ? He basically said it was an attempt to let the "Religious Right" know their daughter is lesbian in hopes to make them stay away from the polls.What do you think? Would they stay away from the polls because they found that out or would they go to the polls if they knew what his goal was ?? Truth never hurt anybody. If they knew that they were staying home to help elect a POS like Kerry, might they show up ??
I think Rush felt that this would be just one more thing that would backfire on Kerry again .....
I think the reality is that the lie'brals don't realize how many of the conservative religious right have closets in their own houses...if you know what I mean. IOW, just because we're Christians doesn't mean we haven't encountered this in our own families and churches.
And I think that Christian parents would identify with the Cheneys and believe that this would not be a path they chose for their child. Any parent of an adult child could understand that.
I think Rush has a point, but I think he misfires just a bit.
Christian Conservatives won't stay home or vote for Kerry because of this.
Christian DEMOCRAT conservatives who are looking for some way to ease their cognitive dissonance over voting for Kerry might be able to justify ignoring Kerry's opposition to the marriage amendment and historic pro-gay support because the "republicans do the same thing."
