Who the heck is he to speak on behalf of Mary Cheney and state what she believes, feels, etc. He does not speak for her...probably never met her and never spoke with her.
How can someone who desires to be President show such lack of respect and poor judgement on a personal issue with a private citizen!
This has NOTHING to do with her being gay...that's what the Dems WANT us to be discussing. He had no business speaking on her behalf for ANY issue. Period. Apology required.
sorry for use of CAPS...that moron irritates me to no end!
I don't think everyone misses that point, but it bears repeating.
He picked that because it's a hot button issue, and he used the word 'lesbian' because that's a hot button word. He thought there were enough Bush voters out there that he could turn off that way (same for Edwards).
If being purple were a hot button issue with Bush voters, they would have found somebody in Bush's sphere of influence or campaign who was purple and gone after them. When the Bush people complained, they would have explained that the complainer was 'ashamed' of being associated with someone who is purple. It's just as simple as that.
