Wednesday said:
Cheney Says He Supports Gay-Marriage Ban

Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday he supports President Bush's call for a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages, though one of his daughters is gay



This is another example of that persistent liberal double standard.

If a conservative comes out against something that he, or a member of his family, has not personally experienced the conservative is told "you have no experience with this. You can't judge."

But if a conservative comes out against something he has personal experience with (either himself or through a member of his family), he is told "you are a hypocrite."

Essentially, the point seems to be that liberals think that conservatives should not be allowed to express their opinions at any time whatsoever.



This was a bit of a flip flop for our Vice President though. When it was politically in their favor in 2000, he believed this was something to be decided by the states individually. Now he changes that to one that is politically advantageous for this election. I don't think hypocrisy is to outrageous of a conclusion. Either side can be guilty of hypocrisy.

Fair play!
