Mary Cheney
From Wednesday’s debate:
The candidates were asked if they believe homosexuality is a choice, and President Bush did not mention Mary Cheney. Then Kerry said, “If you were to talk to Dick Cheney’s daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she’s being who she was, she’s being who she was born as.”
Lynne Cheney:
“The only thing I can conclude is he is not a good man. I’m speaking as a mom. What a cheap and tawdry political trick.”
Elizabeth Edwards:
“She’s overreacted to this and treated it as if it’s shameful to have this discussion. I think that’s a very sad state of affairs… I think that it indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter’s sexual preferences… It makes me really sad that that’s Lynne’s response.”
Dick Cheney:
“You saw a man who will say and do anything in order to get elected. And I am not speaking just as a father here, though I am a pretty angry father, but as a citizen.”
John Kerry:
“I love my daughters. They love their daughter. I was trying to say something positive about the way strong families deal with this issue.”

So - was this bad form on Kerry’s part or are Republicans overreacting?
