>>>What I would really like to know, is why the democrats have specifically made an issue of Cheney's daughter?<<< I'd like to know the same thing. To have brought it up once might have just been written off as a mistake but to have brought it up again tells me that they think there is some value in doing so. What the hell could it possibly be?

Emphasize the dichotomy of opinions concerning gays between Cheney and Bush.The latter doesn't want to recognize gays should have same rights as heteros especially when it comes to tax credits and estates. From GOP COnvention: "We are here in the best tradition of Ronald Reagan, begging the party to do the right thing," said Patrick Guerriero, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, at Monday's news conference. "The party cannot have it both ways. This is a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party." Guerriero said the "final straw" for his group was what he termed "insulting" language in the Republican platform opposing same-sex marriage and saying that homosexuality is "incompatible" with military service. The committee drafting the platform also rejected a "unity" plank offered by the Log Cabin Republicans and another GOP group that supports abortion rights. Noting that the 1 million gay and lesbian votes President Bush received in 2000, according to exit polls, could be vital for the president's re-election, Guerriero said the platform will drive away "fair-minded voters." "The president and our party should be uniting all Americans and not dividing them," he said.

What I would really like to know, is why the democrats have specifically made an issue of Cheney's daughter? They haven't you have. What is Mary Cheney doing on Bush's campaign at a salary of 100k, licking envelopes? If you believe that one, I have a freeway in TX for sale........real cheap! I would really like to understand what the thought process was behind the decesion to talk about the sexual preference of Cheney's daughter? I cannot think of any circumstance why this would gain votes for the democrats. I agree. This was a very negative message and for the life of me, why did they take this approach? On the contrary, it was a very positive message. Its too bad the Cheneys don't feel the same way about their daughter. Very flawed thinking by the democrats advisory staff. It has the thumbprint of Terry McAuliff. What hateful, mean spirited people. Saying some good and kind about someone is "hateful, mean spirited"? Once again, the right is trying to turn the world upside down, and make black into white. Sorry, I ain't buying it!
