The Human Rights Campaign

The Human Rights Campaign today launched an ad featuring Vice President Dick Cheney that poignantly asks Federal Marriage Amendment supporters, “What if it were your child, Mr. President?” At a campaign rally Aug. 24, the vice president restated his position that states should handle the question of marriage, signifying his opposition to putting discrimination in the Constitution.

“Like Senator Kerry, Vice President Cheney disagrees with the president on changing the Constitution,” said HRC President Cheryl Jacques. “As more parents like the Cheneys speak out, it becomes untenable for President Bush and his congressional allies to use gay marriage as a political weapon. This amendment is discriminatory and divisive and it’s time for the political games to end.” ..

1. That is a powerful ad using their own words against them

Hopefully the Democrats will do a lot of that in the coming weeks. Hit them with their own words!

2. Bush's response would be one word:

"Deprogramming".

He would try to make it that his child had been brainwashed and could be converted.
