Alan Keyes recently said that incest is 'inevitable' for children raised by gay parents.

Can't wait for the indignation to arise from the Cheneys!! :eyes:

4. According to Mr. Keyes theory ...
we should ban adoption all together, to avoid incest. Wouldn't that put the anti-abortion right in a pickle?

:wtf:

5. The Cheneys
are caught between a rock and a hard spot (NO pun intended there). No matter what they say, they're screwed. If they come out supporting gays/lesbians, their own party will disown them and toss them out. If they criticize the gay community, they end up looking like the complete hypocrites that they really are, considering they have a lesbian daughter who is openly gay.

Democratic strategists understood this a long time ago. That's why they made an issue of it in the debates. Note both Edwards and Kerry brought it up. No accident.

They know this is Cheney's Achilles Heel. It's also the reason Cheney is now seen as a big, fat liability in the Retardican party.

6. Basically, the Cheneys' point to Kerry is...

...How dare you exploit our gay daughter? That's our job!

Incidentally, does anyone find it at least a little bit weird that we have not heard one single word on this from Mary Cheney herself? Has no journalist made even the slightest effort to get a response from her? I haven't seen anything anywhere.
