Dick Cheney Outs Himself
Posted on February 28, 2012 by Jon Lindgren

Last week, the State Legislature in New Jersey passed a bill allowing gay marriage. It passed by barely a majority, and, the Governor vetoed. There will be a public vote.

Two Republicans voted with the majority. At least one of the two said he received a call from former Vice President, Dick Cheney, urging him to vote to allow gay marriage. It is well known Cheney’s have a daughter who is lesbian and, with her partner, have a Cheney granddaughter. Other high level Republicans made calls on behalf of the bill as well.

In every state where gay marriage has been voted on, it has been defeated. It remains in effect in states that have not had such votes...

The Cheney endorsement is perhaps the highest level Republican Party defection from its orthodoxy and Platform we have seen...

1. Dick Cheney. More progressive than Barack Obama on this issue.

Sad.

2. Cheney is out of politics. He can come out for anything he wants.

He's a dying old man with nothing to lose.

3. I guess this just proves something I heard as a child.

There's a little bit of bad in the best of us and a little bit of good in the worst of us. Cheney falls into the latter group. I'm surprised that he did this.

5. I don't think Darth has ever been particularly concerned about social issues.....

..... His main goal has always been to expand the empire and kill as many people as possible while doing it.

6. His daughter is gay. When it personally effects you, it can change your mind.

I am not surprised at all really.
