<<Also, the party's expected embrace of former defense secretary Dick Cheney's openly lesbian daughter could help convince voters that Bush's "compassionate conservatism" is genuine.

The daughters of Bush's vice presidential pick arrived here with their parents Sunday. A close friend said that Mary Cheney, 31, will have a role beyond the convention and will be constantly at her father's side during campaign trips.

"It's a very positive thing for this country to see, for the first time in history, someone on a national ticket with an openly gay child," said Kevin Ivers, spokesman for the Log Cabin Republicans, a national organization of 11,000 gay voters that Bush met with during the primaries. "It shows that it's something they know very personally about. It's an issue they have a special sensitivity about." >>

Now, can they shut the FUCK UP about this??? Email this link around, please, to your media contacts, to emails you might receive about this. THIS article should CLOSE DOWN THE DISCUSSIONS once and for all. (I did a search on Google using 'mary cheney bush campaign gay voter issues' and found a ton. THIS was the best).

2. insight thought - the outrage is because kerry was compassionate

and ACCEPTING that she was born that way

that is what the rw don't want to believe
they want the world to believe it is choice being gay

kerry basically said God made her that way - and accepts it

so they are outraged - it goes against their medievil beliefs

3. TALKING POINT

Weewee does not know if homosexuality is a CHOICE? If it IS a choice, then why is Mary being so MEAN to her daddy by making such an INCONVENIENT choice--is she just making life hard for him? And if it is a choice, when did HE decide to eschew it?

7. Or This...

Who is Mary Cheney?

Mary Cheney is one of two daughters of Vice President Dick Cheney. A 35-year-old lesbian who resides in Colorado with her long-time partner, Mary Cheney has worked on gay issues and on her father’s 2000 vice presidential campaign, and currently spends a large part of her time in Washington working as a close aide to her father.
After President Bush’s recent speech calling for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning same-sex marriage, Mary Cheney became the target of gay and lesbian activist organizations urging her to speak out against the administration’s anti-gay views, rather than working silently in support of them. Much of the effort is organized at the website, www.dearmary.com, a project of DontAmend.com and the Equality Campaign, Inc.

After graduating from Colorado College, Cheney went to work as a gay community liaison for Coors Brewing Company, where she was instrumental in ending a 20-year boycott by the gay community of that company. Cheney left Coors in 2000 to work with her father and the Bush campaign. In 2002, Mary Cheney served on the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a gay-straight alliance formed within the Republican party to help increase tolerance within the party for gays and lesbians, and others.

Cheney currently receives a paycheck of $2,776 every two weeks, for her role as the head of her father’s campaign team. Mary Cheney remains close to her family by all accounts, and has been off limits to reporters throughout the same-sex marriage debate.
