The debate question is about family values, Bush responds about the poor values you see in America today and in Hollywood. He then calls out Kerry's daughter for showing her boobs to the whole planet with that see-through dress she wore in Cannes.

May be the problem is you equate having a lesbian daughter with a fashion mistake that turned an evening dress into something slightly pornographic under heavy lights. Being gay is not the equivalent of picking the wrong dress........its a lifestyle.

And I don't think Kerry was trying to denigrate anyone nor hurt the Republican ticket when he made those comments about Cheney's daughter. I know you won't believe that nor this.......that he was very sincere when he made those comments. I believe his comments were sincere because of the way he spoke on a tv show recently, featuring just he and his wife, where they spoke of their own own children. He was very respectful of their individuality and I don't think he would intentionally do anything to hurt them or someone else's children.

I do think that in the Republican milieu, homosexuality is still a taboo subject and Republicans have trouble getting their arms around the subject. I also think that the Bush campaign is fearful Kerry's comments will hurt their ticket. I think their fears are unfounded.

In any case, that's the last I will defend Kerry on this subject. If you want to believe it was mean spirited and inappropriate, you are welcome to do so. I just can't agree with you.
