1. kudos for their love of their daughter

but yeah, the hypocrisy reeks

[demtenjeep]

2. yes it does. Always it is "I got mine but screw you"

how do they reconcile this with their position?

[Skittles]

4. easy

they only think about themselves - try to imagine how much easier things would be if you never thought about other people - imagine how black and white your thinking would be if you considered only you and yours important

3. So glad Mary fought for equality instead of simply taking advantage

of the hard work thers did!

That's sarcasm, obviously...I refuse to congratulate a woman who is as evil as her father.

5. she can't help who her daddy is

7. And they're living in a state that won't recognize them

as "married" in my lifetime...

6. I thought Cheney endorsed same sex marriage a few years ago

Am I remembering that incorrectly?

8. No........n/t

9. Turns out he does support it

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/02/nation/na-cheney2

"Cheney supports same-sex marriage 'on a state-by-state basis'"

So Cheney basically has the same stance on the issue as President Obama. That alone should make the President come out for full-fledged, federally recognized marriage equality.

10. I'm sorry-I was unclear-I was agreeing with you

Cheney does support gay marriage "on a state-by-state basis"
I meant to say that no, you are not wrong.

11. No problem

I wasn't sure, and the older I get, the worse my memory becomes!

[Rowdyboy]

13. Ditto......the ony thing worse than getting old is not getting old.....n/t

12. Well, I am remembering her snark against Kerry when he

spoke of her "being who she is" at one of the prez debates in 04. While I thought at the time that it came a little out of left field and was awkwardly done, I remember how ungrateful and downright mean she was about it.

So I don't care what Mary Cheney does, really. She would have been far more acceptable if she had just said nothing at all.
