If Bush had said anything remotely similar to this about one of sKerry's or the Breck Girl's children, the 'Rats would be demanding his resignation.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They think if you conservative Christians out there find out that Cheney has a lesbian daughter,....

And just in case they didn't catch it in the debate, we have Rush and all Republicans everywhere making sure EVERYONE knows. The claim is phony when our side drones on and on about it.

[Paul Atreides]

Imagine if something were brought up about Kerry's first marriage, or his current marriage, for that matter.

This from the party of Chappaquidick Ted and B.J. Clinton.

[wagglebee]

I seem to remember something about Barney Frank's lover running a questionable "escort" service some years back. I guess he's fair game now.

[Joee]

Maybe it's my ESP that has had me convinced from the very beginning of this political race, the Kerry is a "low life BUM." Therefore nothing the slime does surprises me. Of course Clinton was the "other shoe" and still is. Yet, that appears to be the type of character a large number of Voters want to head the Nation. We are still paying for Clinton and Kerry is coming due, I fear.

Cheney dropped the ball in his debate.... he should have chastised Edwards for mentioning Mary instead of thanking him.

[Lizavetta]

Elizabeth Edwards has reacted this morning, and Elizabeth Edwards -- the lovely wife of the vice presidential candidate who is out there promising quadriplegics they'll walk if John Kerry is elected president,

(Sing to Jack Sprat)

Silky Pony could eat no fat
His wife would eat no lean
And so between two of them
They picked the doctors' clean.

I think Rush is slightly off on this one. Kerry and Edwards are making an issue of Cheney's daughter to reinforce the impression within their base that Bush is a heartless and unthinking extremist who is behind the times on homosexual issues.

[Frank_2001]

You are right. Excellent post!

[syriacus]

The claim is phony ...

Not really.

[Mac017]

I think you've explained why they brought her name up. Still, it was a low blow.

[GVnana]

It's inexcusable.

[Kaslin]

John Kerry is a phony Catholic,

John Kerry is a phony period

[ohioWfan]

Are you here too? Obsessed with this subject, are you??

Did this give Kerry permission to bring up Mary's sexual preference? I don't think so

They don't need to reinforce any impression with their base. They simply want evangelicals to stay home on Nov 2, thus handing them a victory.

[badmrbunny]

i think you'll eat your words on this one. manners matter. so does class. and kerry displayed he has neither.

[kempo]

Kerry doesn't have to reinforce beliefs with his base. He did it thinking it would stop some of the religious right from voting for bush?Chaney. Over all this will hurt Kerry. The religious right does not like to be pandered to and they don't like bring up the sex life of anyones children.

[eeriegeno]

IMHO, I think that Rush should have started his show today with another point of the debate before he moved on to the Cheney daughter issue. I think that it is more important.

Kerry told the American audience last night that he was the sponsor of 56 bills in the United States Senate during the last 20 years? That was a bald face lie that the Senator used to prove to the citizenry that he has some value as a leader. He has accomplished nothing, better make that NOTHING, during his tenure as the junior Senator from Massachussettes? We just got rid of a President who lied, why the hell would we want another?????

[Real Cynic No More]

I would have liked to have seen Lynne Cheney walk across the stage after the debate last night, going over to Kerry as if she wanted to shake his hand, then reach up and just slap the s**t out of him for all the world to see, and say "How dare you!" and nothing else, then walk away and just dare anyone to arrest her.
