The condemnationn of Mary Cheney's Pregnancy
- Has the honorable Senator Santorum strode to the well of the Senate to publicly condemn the action of the evil hedonists?
- Has James Dobson published a Focus on the Family Fatwa against the damnable lesbians?
- Is Jerry Falwell calling for jusitifable abortion?

Or am I just giving credence to future cries of hypocrisy?

(On a side note, I didn't realize that the elder daughter HAS a position as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.)

Or are we allowed to extrapolate and infer based on their previous comments?

4. Looks like Mary Cheney did a flip-flop
How long before O'Reilly & Limbaugh are demanding a retraction and apology from Sen. John Kerry of his "accusation" that Dick Cheney's daughter is gay ...

5. Wait a minute......
Democrats have no right to even mention that cheney's daughter is lesbian. Remember they panned Kerry something fierce when he mentioned it. WE MUST REMEMBER ONLY REPUBLICANS CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT WITHOUT FEAR OF CENSURE.....HA!!

8. I was thinking the same thoughts this morning when I read that Mary is pregnant.
Why are all other gay couples incapable of being 'fit' parents? Arkansas refuses to allow gay partners to be foster parents. I guess Virginia is more lenient, but where is the condemnation of this by those who constantly say that gays shouldn't be parents?

9. Gays and Lesbians can't have children!
According to the GOP - they're going to indoctrinate them! Those poor innocent heterosexual Evangelical infants are going to be brought up with wicked San Fransiscan ways !!!

Somebody stop her! Oh, wait, she can't have an abortion either - the GOP hates that too.

the constitution hating religious zealots are stuck between hate and hypocrisy?

Hate the bitch, love the child? Kidnap the devil spawn and raise it "proper?"

Oh the cold dead hearts of those who spend their lives hating in the name of Jesus Christ.

15. I posted this at Free Republic
I don't think it will get seen - they have the big thread about Mary set to where replies are scrutinized before posted. Keep in mind, I'm trying to be a Freeper in the post. :)

-----------------------------
We need to clean our house of these people, and I'm not necessarily talking about the homos in the GOP either. We all know that homosexuality isn't genetic; it's an abomination against God. The only reason we've got all these kids of famous conservatives (Dick Cheney, Alan Keyes, Randall Terry, Phyllis Schaffly, etc.) is because they were not good parents!

It's time these people and we face facts - they're always going on and on and giving lip service to how children need a mom and a dad and how homosexuality will destroy traditional marriage, but when it came time to walk the walk, they were absent.

If Phyllis Schaffly had taken her own advice and stayed home instead of creating a career of going out and debating feminists maybe her son wouldn't have turned out gay.

If Lynne Cheney had stayed home instead of working to create a career that would lead to her writing homo-erotic love stories and co-hosting Crossfire, Mary would be wed to a good conservative man right now.

If Alan Keyes didn't sound like an effeminate Marvin the Martian, maybe his daughter would be on the straight and narrow.

And while it was admirable that Randall Terry adopted all those kids, maybe if he hadn't had that gay looking afro during his Operation Rescue days, he wouldn't have sent mixed signals to his kids - turning one gay and the other Muslim.

We have seen the enemy, and it is us.

17. The Cheney's are happy
about the arrival of their 6th grandchild:
-------------------------------------------------
There was no formal announcement of either daughter's pregnancy from the vice president's office, but the Post quoted spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride as saying Tuesday night that "the vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild."

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/12/06/cheney.daughters.ap/index.html
-------------------------------------------------

Remember James Dobson found it hard to believe the reality about the Ted Haggard incident. They will always look out for their own. Even if they are openly gay. It will not be condemnation. Rather it will be prayer. Now when Ellen says she is a lesbian then she needs to be condemned because she was always on the "dark side".

20. Reagan had a grandchild who was five years old
before he met him. Then it was only because adopted son Michael was sensitive about it and made sure it got into the press. The eventual meeting received plenty of positive press coverage. (Only a repuke could get away with ignoring a grandchild for five years and then staging a warm and fuzzy meet and greet for the benefit of the media.)

These "family values" types are all talk and no action. I'd be willing to bet "Grandpa" Dick doesn't even know the names of the offspring of his spawn.

This is rich though. These clowns go around convincing wingnuts that they give a rat's ass about the sanctity of marriage "between a man and a woman" and all the other pious crap they spew. Meantime, their own family structure is as complex as anybody's, and it's off the table as a topic of discussion. More RW hypocrisy.

36. OMG, what if the donor was black? As hyped up as the freeps and
fundies all get about us homos, can you imagine if Mary the lesbian gave birth to a black child? They'd have to name him Harold Ford just to complete the ironic circle.

But that would never happen. I mean, it's about as likely as the President Preacher for the whole Evangelical crowd in the US to turn out to be a meth addicted homosexual prostitute seeker.....oh, wait.....

23. I'm not sure what to think
Either Ms. Cheney has a liberated view of what makes a proper family unit, or she's as incompetent at being a lesbian as her father is at, well, everything.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

29. RE: Quayle
Okay-During the Manhattan Project at U of Chicago football stadium



The rich and elite families of America got together to create their perfect candidate to become President some day. First up the Forbes family, their genes produced Steve Forbes-the inner workings were fine (the question of what data to upload is another matter) but the outer shell had serious problems and it never blinked.

Next up the Danforths, producing Dan Quayle (a name change that could stop any trail to this project cold)-the outer hardware was GREATLY improved but the hard drive was totally out of whack and the "spell check" had not been invented yet.

Now it was the Bush families turn, creating George-they tooled back the outer appearance and made great gains over the Danforth/Quayle model in terms of the inner wiring and processing though not as coherent as the Forbe's model.

Unfortunately the war ended and it was too difficult to hide the funding of this program so the families got together and decided to go with what they had. They would run the Forbes model out first but never let a connection to the others be even suggested. Then (here is the master stroke) the Danforth/Quayle model would be unveiled thereby lowering the standard for the highest public offices and in comparison the Bush model could actually be seen as acceptable.

Little did they know that some of the young volunteers took the information that had been amassed and some of the Forbes line to make John Kerry-tall, good looking, brave, fierce warrior, detail oriented, and able to blink and communicate. Unfortunately the Bushes had aligned with the controllers of the media (Fairness doctrine repealed in a paperwork switch by George HW Bush while Reagan wasn't looking "Here sign this") and the Bush model was declared the winner within minutes of polls closing and the Kerry model had been reprogrammed in a clean room during the summer to not put up a fight

32. And now, a few wise words from the Freeps:
You know, those wonderful compassionate folks who have never uttered a single derogatory word about Rosie O, or Melissa Etheridge becoming parents.

To: areafiftyone
Let's face it, this "amazing pregnancy" is as shocking as Hillary once being pregnant with Chelsea. I'd say both situations work against the natural norms of biological science.


To: areafiftyone
I heard this this morning.

I thought, big deal, so are 10 million other women.

She's a woman. Thats what happen to women sometimes.


To: areafiftyone
At least this unwed mother won't be going on welfare.


To: areafiftyone
It may not be ideal, but at least Mary is in a long-term committed relationship, and the child will have strong, loving grandparents.

The child will be loved and well cared for, which is more than can be said for many other kids. I wish them the best.


To: KJC1
Agreed. It's none of our business. I have several lesbian classmates from college who have had children (either naturally or through adoption) with their long-time partners. None of them will ever be on welfare.


To: KJC1
I wish them the best.
I do too! And the child will have great grandparents too! woo hooo!


To: CottShop
Now, another baby can be brought up in a sinful household and learn to shun God and live a life free from moral values
Shut up.

35. Conservatism is a form of insanity.
I actually have a hard time believing what I just read from FR. Now I see it. It's as clear as day.

Those people ARE INSANE.

There's no need to even check on them again. They won't be getting better.
