Why no media discussion of Bush decision to prevent Mary Cheney hug
Subject: Why no media discussion of Bush decision to prevent Mary Cheney hug

So it is ok for a compassionate conservative to order that Mary Cheney not appear on stage with her sister and parents at the end of the speech given by her DAD?

After all this is about "CHARACTER" - and the GOP is not into subtleties

about gay rights

or about national security policy.

So as Rove says, the game is to get the media to sell doubts about Kerry's character, while hoping that some bold declarations about taking the fight to the enemy will overwhelm memories of the past years disaster, and cries of compassionate conservative does the same to the memory's of folks wondering about civil rights.

1. Could it have been HER decision ...
as a silent protest against her corrupt family.

Cheers

2. I remember
hearing that she chose not to appear on stage as she did in2000. Can't remember which one of the talking heads said it though. I want to say CNN. Not sure though.

3. Trouble is that one cannot believe anything the media says; they are as
bad as the cabal.

6. "We're REPUBLICANS! Please, do NOT hug the lesbians!"
I mean, isn't it obvious by now? GOP mentality: sweep the "deviants" under the rug.
