Alan Keyes' Irony

[chequita guevara]

Haven't seen a thread on this so . . .

During his failed campaign last fall against Barack Obama (D) for the Illinois Senate seat, Alan Keyes lashed out at Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Cheney. Keyes told a radio interviewer that Mary Cheney was a "selfish hedonist." Then, without having been asked anything about his own family, he volunteered that "if my daughter were a lesbian, I'd look at her and say, 'That is a relationship that is based on selfish hedonism.' I would also tell my daughter that it's a sin and she needs to pray to the Lord God to help her deal with that sin."

Well guess what, Al?

Maya, 19, says . . . she is -- "a liberal queer."

If there is a god, I believe he just stuck it to Keyes in the eye.

Well, Keyes has pretty much disowned her daughter from what I've seen in the Net, so at least he's stuck to his words.

Oh, Alan Keyes...

Maya and Mary should start a chapter of Lesiban daughters of Conservative Republicans- might be a rather large group.

[chequita guevara]

So much for family values.

[GePap]

Well, after raising a selfish hedonist, you would think Alan might decide to take a better look at himself...

Nah, whom am I kidding? He will blame it all on the "L Word"- that showtiome and its hot lesbian sex!

[Ramo]

Keyes stopped paying for his daughter's tuition because he found out that she's a lesbian. Love the sinner, hate the sin... oh wait.

Cheney must be a better human being.

Scary, isn't it? Comparing Cheney favorably to anyone. What a novel experience.

Maybe Cheney doesn't care about homosexuality as much as Keyes does.

Cheney doesn't strike me as being particularly religious; rather, he seems like the typical corporate whore Republican, a Gordon Gecko type who cares far more for the big business part of the Republican party than the moral values crowd. The big business types are the masters of the party; they just use relgion as a way to get poor conservative people to vote for them, even though Republican economics are against the interests of those poor conservatives.

That is the only reason the Republicans win, populist bigotry. If social issues were not an issue the Republicans would be a dead party, it would be Dems vs. Libertarians, with about 65% of the voters Democrat.

Actually, the Evil Leftist Traitors regularly compare Cheney favorably to Bush when it comes to brains.

The Dems aren't that much different from the Repubs economically. Maybe if they were, social/moral issues wouldn't be such a big deal.

Oh ****! This just made my day.
