Newsweek guy made me think about Republican values. 4 years ago Cheney's daughter was not in the
view because she is gay. Now we see Palin's daughter in plain view everywhere and being greeted warmly. What has happened to the hardcore religious right values? I am just wondering.

2. You mean not having sex prior to marriage is just a talk.

4. I think the poster was suggesting fundies see being gay as a greater sin.
And, IMHO, that's a fact.

(that fundies believe this. i sure as hell don't)

7. Is it funny that a good number of fundies are closet gays?

3. They hate
rather normal, committed-relationship gays MUCH MORE than they hate slutty, wanton, wallowing-in-the-sins-of-the-flesh type stuff from heterosexuals.

6. Being gay is not reason to hate a person. BTW I am not gay but respect gays like any other person.
Things that bothers me is lack of principals here.

9. Denying women reproductive rights trumps every other issue.
The business class elitist Republicans will use that card every time to
reel in the fundies. Pretty scary stuff.

10. I think Cheney would
have used his daughter too--she just was more independent, older (and likely doesn't REALLY support her nasty dad).

The kiddies that McC and Palin use are still dependent minors--if they could cut and run they probably would. You can't really blame them--they are stuck.

11. And where is the McCains' adopted daughter in family political appearances?
Has anyone EVER seen a photo of McCain and Cindy with their adoped teenage daughter from Bangladesh?

And where is the McCain son whose failed bank is costing the Federal Deposit Insurance Company millions?

Can't we keep McCAIN in our sights too?
