The Leviticus Crowd is furious at Kerry.... From the American Family Association blog....

Actually, Cheney's view is not even as firm as Sen. John Kerry's position. Kerry at least made the strong pronouncement that marriage is between a man and a woman. The vice president's view was much mushier: "With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People … ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."

Geez, compared to Cheney, Kerry comes off sounding like a homophobe.

Politically speaking, and with all due respect to Cheney's intellect, his wealth of valuable political experience, and his obvious clout within the Bush administration, the main job of a vice president is to be available in case something happens to the head guy. How is it that the vice president took it upon himself to publicly split with the president? What's next? Saying he disagrees on Iraq?

OK, so the vice president has a lesbian daughter. Certainly, in light of that, no one can fault Dick Cheney for trying to be what he thinks is a good father. But he's not just Dick Cheney – he's Vice President Dick Cheney. As a public servant, he's not supposed to only consider what's best for his own family, but what's best for the country. And most Americans – and the President – believe that traditional marriage is best, and that the best way to protect marriage is to let the people vote on the FMA.

Cheney should have saved his personal opinions for his memoirs.

Now this is what I find so odd.... Dick Cheney was showing this crowd what "Family Values" was all about. But they don't get it. As Jon Stewart would say "oh the humanity!"
