My memory did fail me and you are correct. It was John F’in Kerry (I THINK he was in Vietnam for a few months...) who tried to sully the Cheney family with the “supposed” angry conservative Christian base, that would not approve and then choose not to vote for Bush/Cheney as punishment for Cheneys daughter be “gay”.
For the DNC, there IS no level that is to low, in order to achieve their goals.
