So Where Are the Angry Parent Cheney's On RNC's Ohio Bigotry
How come we don't hear Deadheart Dick and his wife condemning these folks?

"The Republican National Committee, though, is using gay marriage to rally its Ohio base. A few weeks ago, Reeves was horrified to find that the RNC had mailed her a voter registration form attached to a four-color flier about "protecting marriage." The front of the mailer pictures a bride and groom and the words, "One Man One Woman." Inside it says, "One Vote Could Make a Difference in Making Sure It Stays that Way."
The flier warns that "Traditional values are under attack from the radical left," which seeks to "Destroy traditional marriage by legalizing gay marriage," "Support abortion on demand and partial birth abortion," and "Declare the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional because of its reference to God." "

1. Similar to Oregon
It has to be the same fascist pigs that put a measure on the Oregon Ballot. I got a glossy flyer with a man and woman holding hands and walking through a field of wheat and words to the effect of -Marriage is under attack-

I find the whole thing rather disgusting, but I have a feeling that the way they are spinning this thing (yes I have seen the ONE MAN ONE WOMAN signs all over the place) they will probably win. It's all about scaring people into thinking that by allowing gays to marry, it will hurt existing hetero marriages. I can't possibly see how, but as we know by this miserable administration, acts don't count, works don't count, words and spin do.

Why not let gay people marry? Let them be as miserable as the rest of us :P

2. Welcome to DU, Dawnlin71!
and thanks for the support of gay marriage....not that I PERSONALLY would ever get married, mind you, but I'd like to have the option.

3. For that matter, how come they're not attacking Alan Keyes?
He pretty much said that gay parents will abuse their children......but I guess that's just ok with the Cheney clan...its worse to say their daughter did not choose to be homosexual, and better to say she's a child molestor..


bizarro world.

9. Of course it's bizarre
It doesn't have to follow logic; it's just arguments of convenience.

Don't expect logic; they're not interested in logic. Just whatever argument at whatever time that lets them win. Consistency isn't a requirement either. It's very much in the moment.

5. They Are Behind It 100%, Mr. Benchley
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 03:43 PM by The Magistrate
Their only hope, and it is a forlorn one, is alliance with bigots who would kill their daughter sooner than look at her if they had the chance. They are parents who pimp out their own children, surely the lowest and most despicable thing shaped as a human on the face of the earth....

"Republicanism is a character flaw."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
