Pretty clear what they are doing
The Bush campaign is trying to make people think Kerry "outed" Mary Cheney!

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041015/D85NK01G0.html

We need to make it clear to people that Mary Cheney's sexual orientation has been well-known for YEARS.

Just last night I overheard an idiot in a restaurant saying how shameful it was that Kerry "outed" Ms. Cheney. THat's when I realized what the Bush campaign was up to.

1. Yep
They have found a nugget -- and with the help of the media (either stupid or compicit) they will run with it until people believe that Kerry not only outed her, but turned her gay in the first place.

I originally didn't think this would amount to anything, but not any more.

It is sickening.

3. Mary Cheney was outed
During the 2000 election season. Gay groups were outraged that Bush/Cheney would be so anti-gay when the VEEP had a lesbian daughter. This is NOT new news!

4. RIGHT
But Cheney knows that many people don't realize that. So he is leavig the impression that Kerry "outed" his daughter.

It is shameless!

6. Mary Cheney is campaigning has the Lesbian Daughter
of the Vice President. Cheney has talked about her sexuality many times in public. Heck, Mary and her partner were a highlight of the Republican National Convention. You can't out someone, who is already out.

9. Not only that but when Edwards mentioned Mary and her family's
support of her, Cheney thanked him for his comments! How was what Kerry said that different than what Edwards said?
