What Questions Would You Want the Media Be Asking The Cheneys Today?
Let's help the media and press with some questions that they should be asking Dick and Lynn Cheney today since they are soooo upset about John Kerry's praise of their daughter last night.

Help expose the Cheney's false "indignation" about their daughter's homosexuality by helping create a rapid response bulletin board here with your comments and supporting links.

As a gay man, I am nearly nauseous with Dick and Lynn's hypocrisy at hiding their daughter in a burqa for four years, denying their daughter to stand with them on stage at the Republican National Convention when the "families" gathered for television viewers, for not uttering one single word in condemnation of Alan Keyes when he called their daughter a "hedonistic selfish sinner, for never seeing the hypocrisy of Lynn Cheney's novels with lesbianism favorably treated, and more.

John Kerry praised their daughter and her homosexuality...something neither Lynn or Dick ever have...and that's what's eating them alive.

Dick and Lynn stand with George Bush and Karl Rove's pushing for a Constitutional amendment to deprive their daughter of her "equal protection under the law" and refuse to speak out?

Help a create a "rapid response" bulletin board here on questions that the Press SHOULD be asking the Cheney's with supportive links:

1. Why are you offended...
...when someone makes a positive comment about your daughter being a lesbian and you have been talking about it yourselves on the campaign trail?

2. Gay people...

3. # 1: Why Did You Not Defend Your Daughter Against Republican Alan Keyes?
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 05:32 PM by David Zephyr
Why did you not stand up for your daughter when the chosen Republican Candidate for the U.S. Senate in Illinois publicly called your daughter a "selfish hedonist" and a "sinner". How could you have remained silent while your daughter's name was smeared hatefully? How do you square that silence when she was being notably attacked by one of your party's leaders with your "outrage" at your daughter being praised by John Kerry?

You were quiet and let it slide, didn't you?

Are you ashamed that your daughter is lesbian?

4. Talking point: Mary Cheney is the only one whose "outrage"...
...matters and she hasn't said a word about it.

She's a grown woman capable of speaking for herself. She's also a Bush campaign staffer who could make Kerry look bad if she said she was personally insulted.

Nothing but silence, though.

5. #2: Why Was Mary, Your Daughter, Absent From Stage at the GOP Convention?
Where was your daughter the last night of the Convention when all the family members of the Bush and Cheney's united on stage? Where was Mary and her life companion? Was her open homosexuality something that you, Dick and Lynn, were ashamed to present in front of a predominately anti-gay crowd?

6. Come on let's get really nasty
In retrospect what would you have done differently in raising Mary so you could have avoided the embarrassment and humiliation of having a LESBIAN daughter?

Are you planning to move to Texas or Wyoming in January?
