"Mrs. Cheney, did your daughter Mary choose to be a lesbian?"
Why hasn't a single reporter posed this question to her?

2. Kerry will NOT be running a Mary Cheney ad
Kerry WILL be running an ad about bush*'s OBL lie.

What do you think Kerry wants us to talk about?

3. What would be the point?
I mean, her answer would change no one's minds. It's just not important enough. You might say, to expose her hypocrisy. But nothing Mary Cheney does makes a hypocrite of Lynn Cheney. You might say to expose her ignorance. But that would be exposed only to those who already know it.

6. Mary Cheney chose to be an official GOP lesbian activist.
In 2002, Mary Cheney served on the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a gay-straight alliance formed within the Republican party to help increase tolerance within the party for gays and lesbians, and others.

And doesn't she now work for the Bush Cheney 2004 campaign?

And before that didn't she work for the White House?

And before that didn't she work for the Bush Cheney 2000 campaign?

And before that didn't she work for Coors in a gay/lesbian liason position?

Mentioning her sexual orientation is not talking about her private life, it is talking about her professional life. Republicans, especially the Cheneys, are lying, hate mongering , hypocrites on this issue.

7. She's making $100,000/yr on the Bush-Cheney campaign, in fact
It's most certainly about her professional life. If her family wants the talk stopped, they should stop pushing her into her father's political career.
