VP Cheney Wavering on (Gay) Marriage

[Whoa_Nelly]

The Denver Post pressed Vice President Dick Cheney on his views on gay marriage and the Federal Marriage Amendment that would ban it, in an interview published Jan. 9.
Cheney reiterated the view that he expressed during the 2000 campaign, that such relationships ought to be legally recognized; that states were the proper venue to make those decisions; and that they may choose varying approaches.

But then he pledged political loyalty to George Bush with regard to federal aspects of marriage, if Bush decides to push the amendment. “The President is going to have to make a decision in terms of what administration policy is on this particular provision and I will support whatever decision he makes.”

Cheney declined to discuss what advice he has offered the President on this or any other issue. His daughter Mary is a lesbian in a long-term relationship who also heads up the vice presidential reelection effort.

4. typical neocon view on states' rights

These things should be decided on a state level. Until a state decides in such a way we think is wrong, then we will use the power of the federal government to squash the uppity bastards.
