W Kerry-ing on over gay remark

If anyone missed John Kerry's comments during the last debate about Mary Cheney's gay lifestyle, President Bush hammered them home yesterday.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Bush said he thought Kerry was "over the line" when he brought it up.

Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of John Edwards, said she was annoyed that the Republicans keep criticizing the remark.

"I'm distressed that what it did was distract from what should have been a dialogue over issues that should have been raised during the third debate - domestic policy issues like health care and jobs and education," she said.

Consider those northern states which are said to be so close. Gay marriage is/will be on the "docket" in a few of these and it isn't something the people favor. It occurred to me that this issue alone may be very helpful for Bush.

I believe that of all the states that have the Marriage Act on it all but one went to Bush on 2000. Does anyone know what the one that went Gore was?

Isn't this old news?

here's a guess: Michigan

My point was Kerry's perspective on marriage and the desires of those in the states being fought for where this is a big issue.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Correct.

Thanks for the info.

"Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of John Edwards, said she was annoyed that the Republicans keep criticizing the remark."

Hey, bi**h, maybe if you didn't have the audacity to suggest that the Cheney's were ashamed of their daughter, this issue woulda died a long time ago.

[Hank Rearden]

The whole subject is completely useless, stupid and irrelevent.

I want to know what Bush's plans are for slashing government spending, vetoing pork and getting rid of the deficit.

Does he ever say anything about that?

His so-called "tax cuts", without offsetting spending cuts, are simply higher future taxes (with interest) in the form of record deficits, dumped onto the debt burden we already suffer.

domestic policy issues like health care and jobs and education," she said.

Man these mental defectives never learn do they?

You'd think they'd give it a rest after Hilary was bi**h-slapped into total ineffectiveness over this issue.

Not that it really bothers me that these Neocom progressives are suicidal...

If Elizabeth Edwards wants to talk about health care, perhaps she will begin by telling the voters how she and her VP wannabe husband are living extremely high on the hog, press reports 60 and up millions of bucks, from suing health care professionals and facilities. She is another reminder of extremely wealthy liberal democrats who want to 'help' the less fortunate by taxing other citizens. Or am I wrong in assuming that she and hubby will not be parting with their stash of cash to help the needy she is so concerned about?

Which liberals are voting for legislation to privatize Social Security, Health Care, limit trial lawyers, reduce wasted education spending, increase private bids for government work...?

What bills has Congress presented him with allowing for such?

A war against terrorism is currently being funded and it works against the deficit.

How much will gay marriage cost?
