You think so?

You think Edwards used this as an opportunity to attack Cheney's gay daughter?

Because Edwards thinks gays are freaky?

And by calling Cheney's daughter a freaky gay person, it would look bad on Cheney?

Is this what you think happened?

Edwards obviously did it to embarrass Cheney using him to ridicule Bush.

It wasn't that obvious, but maybe I'm oblivious.

oh man, bullchit Iron/Tweety...

That whole line just shows how out to lunch you are about it.

Gay does not equal bad. Only to some people does gay equal bad.

It is the people who would take what Edwards said as an attack on Cheney, because he has a gay daughter, that think gay equals bad.

That's all yer really saying here.

By embarrass I don't mean he intended to ridicule Cheney for having a gay daughter but rather by bringing up a likely sensitive personal issue, one he knows there is a difference of opinion, to use against Bush.

BTW, I don't find the move to be all that distasteful, more of a mistake that I think backfired on him.

So Nash, you believe it was brought up to illustrate Cheney's compassionate view of homosexuality? Sell it somewhere else - I aint buying it. But you know, its just my gut reaction. I 'm not going to try to convince you or anyone how to vote. But if anyone ever votes for someone that gives them a sinking feeling in their gut,  someone they feel displays distinct character flaws, they are indeed a fool.

I think what Edwards did, was a shot on Cheney using his daughter as ammo. You disagree. Thats why I'll vote one way and you'll vote another.

It aint that complicated. I've stated, and I think you agree no matter who's elected, Iraq is a very long term problem. I believe George Bush misled the people, but I think he did it for noble reasons. I think Edwards is a political opportunist. Gota go with George. Sorry for Kerry for not making a better vp choice.

1 man 1 vote, I have to vote my morality.

There are plenty of excellant leaders here in the US waiting for their chance at being the president. There aint no shortages.

:cheezy removed:


Ahem... Roosevelt did okay without these restrictions.

I think that "they" put these laws in place because "they" considered the American public too stupid to recognize corruption.

Yeah Sandman, I wouldn't mind lifting the restrictions. Having a really popular President getting re-elected would be great.

The voters would decide and I can't see how it could be a negative.

Reagan probably could have very easily have won another term.

Well, Tweety....

Have it your way... It is of course, your way.

But if you think that Edwards "attacked Cheney for the simple fact his daughter is gay", then yer saying that Cheney should be embarrassed about his gay daughter.

Now you're going to go and vote for a President that you don't even like, because of a potential Vice President who doesn't see gays as quite the liability that you do.

Well - different strokes for different folks... and all...
