Personally I think they are reading way too much into this, but I would agree that the caption to the photo isn't in line with Whitehouse policy.

Link to the photo with caption.

Why not? They recognize illegal border invaders...

I think they are officially recognizing little Samuel David. Period.

These aren’t good arguments at all. Is adoption also “playing house” because the parents are not biological? Doesn’t make sense.

This thread is being hijacked. Remain in your seats. We are returning to the airport.

Please. I disagree with the immigration bill (which is OT), but releasing a picture with a grandchild and equating it to an endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle is silly and a bit of a stretch.

I think you are correct. I think Dick Cheney handles this situation in exemplary fashion.

You can still love someone even when you don’t agree with them. The Cheney’s obviously love their daughter, and will love their grandson.

I think the Bush White House has lost all sense of direction.

Yes, it is.

I’ve seen nothing to indicate the Cheneys disagree with their daughter on her lifestyle.

What is so hypocritical of this Administration is its “double-speak.”

true, but other issues this WH and administration double-speak about are downright dangerous and subversive to our country and our way of life.

This shouldn’t be turned into a political statement.

I was thinking the same thing. My wife and I have two adopted sons and I'm sure they consider us their "real parents."

You could turn this argument around and argue that a biological father who deserts the mother before the child is born is a "real parent." That wouldn't make any sense at all.

That being said, the caption under the picture of Cheney's grandchild could have said "Cheney celebrates, along with his daughter's partner, the birth of Mary's child..."

I think they are reading into it to much as well. They act as though Cheney should have nothing to do with his daughter or grandson... not exactly Christian-like (before anybody points it out, yes, I know, Cheney has made it clear he has no problem with homosexuals marrying - I’m not arguing that one o way or the other, just that Cheney and his wife have acted appropriately in regards to their daughter/grandson).

Heather Poe is Mary Cheney's live-in lesbian lover. She may act like a parent, she may treat the baby as a parent, she may love this baby with all of her heart, but in this reality we all live in, Heather Poe is NOT the baby's real parent. She has NO biological connection to the child whatsoever. Some man, the baby's real Daddy, is the child's other REAL parent.

No wonder I'm confused. I was raised in a foster home by two people who later adopted me when I was around three and half years old. For as long as I can remember, I have referred to these two people as "mom," "dad," and "my parents." Thanks to the Christian News Wire, I now realize that my real parents are not the people who fed me, housed me, clothed me, and cared for me when I was sick -- because I do not have a biological connection to them -- but rather, my real parents are two strangers who I know nothing about other than they were so dysfunctional that social services removed me from them and placed me in foster care and eventually initiated proceeding to terminate their parental rights, which they did not bother to oppose.

"Double speak?" Would you prefer the White House issue a fatwa?
