MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa., Oct. 13 -- Lynne V. Cheney, wife of Vice President Cheney, accused John F. Kerry on Wednesday night of "a cheap and tawdry political trick" and said he "is not a good man" after he brought up their daughter's homosexuality at the final presidential debate.
Mary Cheney, one of the vice president's two daughters and an official of the Bush-Cheney campaign, has been open about her lesbian status. The candidates were asked if they believe homosexuality is a choice, and President Bush did not mention Mary Cheney. Then Kerry said, "If you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as."
Lynne Cheney issued her post-debate rebuke to a cheering crowd outside Pittsburgh. "The only thing I can conclude is he is not a good man. I'm speaking as a mom," she said. "What a cheap and tawdry political trick."

VP Cheney had the class to ignore him.
I hope she keeps on speaking out. Somebody has to point out the fact that Kerry is NOT a good man.
The Cheney's are national treasures.
I hope the "wheelchair" promise gets a lot of play too.
Kerry/Edwards are flim-flam men.
Cheney's = Cheneys
Wasn't it sensitive of Kerry and Edwards to use Mary Cheney as grist for their pro-same sex marriage mill?
They'll step on anyone to get power.
Yep. I don't see how Mary Cheney's lifestyle is relevant to a discussion of homosexuality. Now I may be against it but I also feel Mary's personal life is no one else's business.
The self proclaimed party of tolerance actually has none.
Kerry/Edwards are malignant narcissists and I hope Lynne Cheney goes on the campaign trail every single day and discusses what a bunch of thugs these guys really are.
Kerry/Edwards are more than willing to exploit personal information to make points and jab at the Cheneys.
It reminds me so much of the Clintons disregard for people who got in their way.
Lynne out and out says it. She got it right in saying that John Kerry isn't a good man. He isn't. Look at the cheap tricks he does in churches making personal attacks against this President, he whores off Reagan and Christopher Reeve's struggles. Recently he came out as if he was some great hope to bring democracy to Cuba. It just goes on and on.
That's the ENTIRE Democrat party.
John Kerry is an arrogrant fake and a meanspirited, hateful, classless boor.
When will Kerry NOT name drop a Republican? After McCain, Tommy Franks and George Will, I've lost count!
"Never has the admirable been so fully wedded to the appalling," Noonan writes of the subject and her faithless spouse. (Meaning Hillary Clinton's spouse, not Noonan's).
If you want to see more ignorant and intolerant crap try this...

It was a definately a low-road position for Kerry to take and he shouldn't be discussing the Cheney's families private lives like that without their consent.

Good post.
Thanks for the bold type.
Lynn Cheney won't let this die.
