And one more thing.

In May of 2009, 3 years ago, former Vice-President Cheney came out (just wait a second, he did not really come out, he just came out in favor of gay marriage.) Funny how having a lesbian daughter will make even the most reactionary right wing wacko look at things from a different perspective.

I bet if one of Cheney's daughters needed an abortion he would suddenly rethink that issue too. If one of his family members were shot in an absurd case of "stand your ground" he might rethink gun laws. If one of his family were killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, he might not have been so quick to escalate multiple misguided wars.  If Cheney could not afford all of the amazing health care he has received, he might think nationalized care was not such a bad idea. With a net worth of just under $100 million, yup $100 million, Cheney could care less about the rest of the population, his family will never go hungry so I can't imagine what might help him see the light there, but who knows.

Sorry to be going back into the vaults of the Bush era, but it is interesting that one of the most rabid zealots of the radical right wing is liberal on an issue when it came into his home. Maybe that is what the religious right needs, just a tiny reality check and dose of personal experience outside of their cloistered parochial lives.
