Keep Your Mouth Closed On Gay Marriage GOP Tells Lynne Cheney

[Cannikin]

(Salem, Oregon) The wife of Vice President Dick Cheney will address the state Republican convention this week and participate in at least one fundraiser for the party, but some members of the GOP are telling her not to ring up her views on gay marriage.

Lynne Cheney caused a maelstrom within the far right of the party last week when she voiced her disapproval of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Cheney, the mother of Mary, an out lesbian, told CNN's Late Edition Sunday that marriage should be left up to the states. (story)

Her view mirrored those of others in the party, and is at least partly credited for the defeat of the proposed amendment in the Senate. (story)

White, who is backing Bush's re-election bid, said he is "troubled" by the vice president's wife's refusal to endorse the federal constitutional amendment.

1. I never, EVER...

Expected to be able to say something nice about that vile harpie.

Glad I was wrong.

2. Who is it who said

"This world is all we will ever know of heaven, and all we need ever know of hell." I do believe Lynne Cheney's created her own hell, right here on Earth. Probably shares it with her daughter.

3. Hey Lynne - stand up and be a WOMAN and tell them to go fuck themselves

You go, girl. Don't betray us.

4. Interesting.

Here we have the Stalwarts, the True Conservatives in all their Grandeur. This family which embodies the True Republican Party, which is opposed to Gay Marriage.

And yet.....what have we here? A daughter who is an avowed lesbian. That must have caused a little friction between mom & dad. Of course, Randi Rhodes has said repeatedly that Dick Cheney himself is gay. A repressed gay, but gay nonetheless.

In addition, the matriarch of the family has written a cheap sleazoid novel called 'Sisters' which refers to lesbian sex.

I think this is God's little joke on the Cheney's...

6. If she allows them to silence her, then she silences her own daughter

and condemns her to second class citizen status.


Is a win worth selling your own child out, Lynne?
