Reply #126: When the GOP "Leaders" Get Angry with Fake Indignation... [View All]

... that means the Democrats are "too close for comfort" to the counterargument.

Exhibit A: Lynne Cheney's faked-up indignation about the Mary Cheney issue in 2004.

My Southern Baptist grandmother adores my partner. She has given him family recipes. Throughout America, you have "values voters" like my grandmother who have firsthand experience with a loving gay couple.

The Kerry/Edwards campaign allowed themselves to be rolled on this. I give Elizabeth Edwards HUGE points for calling Lynne Cheney out. Lynne put the GOParty Line ahead of her family values, and the Kerry/Edwards campaign should have gone for the jugular.

"Lynne and Dick, do your so-called family values call for other GOP voters to put their loyalty to the party ahead of their love for their gay or lesbian family members?"

The righteous indignation we saw from Lynne (a real beast - she was at the K School when I was in undergrad there) was the clearest signal that the Dems were "too close for comfort" to the antidote to one part of KKKarl's God, Guns, and Gays formula in 04.
