If you don't think that mentioning Cheney's Gay daughter is a strategy
then you're pretty naïve. I am a scorched earth Democrat who believes in laying waist to everything Republican. You know damn well if JK or Edwards had a Gay daughter the Freeps and Fundies would be having a field day with it.

Anything, and I mean anything that gets the repukes in a tither is OK by me. They have no clue with how to handle this and that's exactly why it's brilliant strategy.

Of course the two J's will never admit that it's a strategy and that's OK by me!

6. strategy yes. laying waste. no.
she is openly gay, has been heavily involved in the campaign and was put on display with her girlfriend by the cheneys before the vp debate.

fair game, especially with the question that was posed. it shows the hypocrisy and stupidity of the bush/cheney pandering.

7. Strategy, maybe...
Personally I think it was the perfect response to *'s idea that homosexuality (might be) a choice. If your own running mate has a daughter who is gay and you haven't even thought of asking her or caring what her idea of whether or not it was a choice or not.

8. If it is a strategy we will see how it plays out in the next couple of
days. Hopefully it will not become a huge issue. What is an issue is Bush's denying he said that he isn't worried about bin-laden anymore which he clearly said and it would be great if we could put an ad on the air showing that distortion.

11. Kerry wanted this mentioned.............no doubt
let the repubs try to fight amoung themselves. Dems know how reubs view gays and Dems know that this is a no win for repubs no matter how they spin it.

13. This was all about depressing turnout amongst the
"God hates fags" crowd in Ohio and Florida.

Mel Martinez, the Repug candidate for Senate in Florida, won the nomination through gay bashing.

15. i am starting to see the strategy
I have to admit I was pretty naive..but I get it...they can't defend their position..because KERRY and EDWARDS are okay with Mary being gay...Her own father and that whole administration in which she works...can't stand it...they are so ashamed...

I thought it might of got the media off of the rest of the debate..but my guess is that B/C want this to die...NOW!
