Bush is a selfish hedonist

   The latest political spin from the Bush campaign is the ire over Kerry's mention of Cheney's daughter during the debate. The fact is that they're reacting as if Mary Cheney was in the closet prior to the debate. They act as if Kerry said something horrible about their daughter. Quite frankly, their reaction is the bad part of the whole thing. It's as if they are embarrassed by their daughter. Of course when Alan Keyes said that Mary was "a selfish hedonist" there was little to no reaction from the Cheneys. What is that saying about them? This is simply the Cheneys playing politics because they have nothing else to say. And from the quotes I see from Lynne Cheney, I wish a PFLAG mom would just go slap her.
   Now why do they have to do this? Because the truth is worse than their spin. Bush said he truly didn't know if being gay was a choice. Speaking of being out of touch - this only demonstrates how he is the one who is out "of the mainstream." He also said that it needed to be respected. So logic would suggest that if Bush has been respecting gay people, he will continue to do so by attempting to push our equality under the law away from us. He has openly declared his stance against the gay community by his desire to write discrimination against our relationships into the Constitution. Their silence has indicated that they would not speak out against hate speech or acts against gay people. And if that is respect my friends, then I'd be truly frightened by what they represent.
   And of course they wouldn't want the fact that Bush forgot his statements about bin Laden across the front page of the newspapers. Instead we have to look at their false outrage. How pathetic!
