4. Face the Nation

Shieffer is trying to kill the Kerry campaign.

Brought up the Mary Cheney issue, but more disgusting was his insistence that Kerry's economic policies aren't paid for.

Tad Devine did a good job, but we are under attack and its ugly.

5. They're not even pressing Guiliani

on his bullshit economic answer. Just cut taxes!!!! Don't worry!

6. He's just giving a speech

I'm beside myself.

9. briefly on meet the press

They mentioned it, the republican was accucsed of having to make it into a circus because there was absolutely nothing else the spin room could come up with after that debate.

They moved on to serious issues ... and ended with the bulge, and allowed, once again, the republican to dismiss it as a joke (receiving signals from aliens HAHAHA <-- his laughing, not mine). Nobody is pressuring them to actually say what it is; I don't understand it.

11. It is being pushed by the Bush campaign.

When the media begins to stop taliking about it the Bush campaign starts pushing it again and trying to make new news concerning it in order to generate more media coverage. Rove would like this to be the only issue discussed between now and the election.

Given that Mary Cheney is an official GOP lesbian activist, Kerry's campaign has not handled this well.

In 2002, Mary Cheney served on the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a gay-straight alliance formed within the Republican party to help increase tolerance within the party for gays and lesbians, and others.

And doesn't she now work for the Bush Cheney 2004 campaign?

And before that didn't she work for the White House?

And before that didn't she work for the Bush Cheney 2000 campaign?

And before that didn't she work for Coors in a gay/lesbian liason position?

Mentioning her sexual orientation is not talking about her private life, it is talking about her professional life. Republicans, especially the Cheneys, are lying, hate mongering , hypocrites on this issue.
