Cheney on same-sex marriage: ‘People ought to be free to enter into any kind of union.’

At the National Press Club today, former Vice President Dick Cheney gave some of his strongest comments yet in favor of same-sex marriage. Asked if “some form of legalized marriage” was “inevitable in the United States,” Cheney said that “freedom means freedom for everyone.” “I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish,” said Cheney, adding that believes marriage should be regulated at the state level. Watch it:

Cheney’s answer at the press club was pretty much the same answer that he usually gives when asked about the subject. But in the past, Cheney has said that “people ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.” Today, he used he word “union.”

Transcript:

HOST: Question on social issues. Given recent developments in Iowa and elsewhere, is some form of legalized gay marriage inevitable in the United States?

CHENEY: Well, I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone. And as many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and something that we’ve lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute that governs this, I don’t support. I do believe that historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level, it has always been a state issue. And I think that’s the way it ought to be handled today. That is on a state by state basis. Different states will make different decisions, but I don’t have any problem with that. I think people ought to get a shot at that.

    So?

    Doesn’t mean he’s not evil.

    It just means he’s evil, but has a lesbian daughter.


  2. JosephP says:

    Something makes me think that Cheney would not be in favor of same sex unions if he did not have a gay daughter. I’ve come to realize that he has no moral compulsions except for those that serve himself.

  10. Parlezvous says:

    Ye gods, what a Dick.


  11. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    It doesn’t prove that he’s in the east bit “open-minded”, either. I’m sure that for him, it’s purely a personal privacy issue. He doesn’t want the federal government to have any excuse to get involved with his life. That’s why he said, “The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute that governs this, I don’t support.” Not even for his own daughter.


  12. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    s/b “in the least bit”. Duh.

    chicken and waffles Says:
    Is Cheney on the pedastil or off the pedastil, today?

    What’s a “pedastil”?


  14. misscoleopteramolly says:

    It’s a good sign that Cheney has swapped the word “relationship” for “union”. Baby steps.

    But to give Cheney credit, he’s further along the track to sanity on this issue than most of his conservative brethren (yes, he’s still evil on practically every other issue).

    One of the things the late Harvey Milk said (and was in the “Milk” film) was that it’s harder to hate gays if they happen to be members of your family or your friends. This may be true in Cheney’s case. I’m sure he loves his daughter and his new grandchild by her.

    But even Cheney has a ways to go yet.


  15. had enough says:

    Dick

    you lied us into an illegal war, you war profited greatly and still are, you tortured… and you still dare to appear in public and in our face?

    Why is this treasonous b@stard allowed to be out there?


  16. EugeneDebs says:

    chicken and waffles Says:

    My GOD you are stupid. We already KNOW you are stupid so you are wasting your time parading your STUPIDITY. Go sit in the corner and STFU


  17. Shellly says:

    This statement benefits his daughter, if not, he couldn’t care less.

    Just the same way others who are advocating for this want the same for their loved ones and themselves.

  24. EugeneDebs says:

    I call him stupid because he is stupid. Havent you killed yourself yet???? Your country is asking you to do the right thing. Your stupidity is a burden on all of society. Just go kill yourself. You have nothing to offer, no one likes you no one respects you no one will miss you go off by yourself and do the right thing. Dont forget to ask your mommy which of her brothers is your daddy. You should know before you do the only service someone as staggeringly stupid as you can possibly perform. Go, waste no more time. Tarry no more. Tick Tock


  25. RantingTommy says:

    o look, toiletintexas thinks the truth is now Al Jazeera propaganda

    someone flush him before he overflows


  26. EugeneDebs says:

    MerdeMoron

    I think capital gains tax is OFF TOPIC. I think it is long past time YOU went off by yourself and did the right thing.


  27. RantingTommy says:

    ok, nerdad

    let’s debate:

    nerdad is a moron

    I’ll take the pro argument:

    moronity as obvious and as blatant as nerdad proves that nerdad is a moron

    your turn


  28. pastcaring says:

    Merdad Says:

    Merdad no es verdad…you are too funny for words and apparently too stupid to spell anything correctly…and no, this doesn’t mean I want to talk to you…

    Has one single FACT ever in your entire life penetrated your thick skull? You do know you are astonishingly stupid dont you?


  30. RantingTommy says:

    nerdad, when you get to high school, please pay attention in creative writing class (and remedial grammar and spelling)

    you will lose less debates about you being a moron that way

    Acne cream for feet? Just a guess.

    PEACE


  33. EugeneDebs says:

    Look MerdeMoron we already know you are stupider than hair on a barbershop floor but DO try to post in coherent English. The country expects you to do the right thing. Tick Tock. Isnt it time for your trailertrash whore of a mother to take a break from blowing bums for pocketchange? Find out which of her brothers is your daddy. You inbred subhuman moron


  34. RantingTommy says:

    i see we can add “teh gay” to the looong list of things that toiletintexas is frightened of

    so, toiletintexas (can i just call you outhouse for short?), are you afraid that you’ll have to admit to those, umm, tingly feelings you get when looking at toby keith if the big intrusive govt doesn’t make it illegal?


  35. spencers mom says:

    A TP riddle of the day:

    How can you tell that MerdeHead is plagiarizing?

    It’s posts make sense.

    Clearly not the case on this thread…

    PEACE


  36. EugeneDebs says:

    Johnintexas

    Hey you ignorant piece of filth there is no place for braindead, staggeringly STUPID bigots in decent society so why dont you get out of our good country and go live in Guatemala where your black fascist heart would fit right in. Saudi Arabia would work to just get the hell out of our country the stench of your putrid rotted soul is making all decent Americans sick


  37. RantingTommy says:

    right wingers can’t tell the difference between allowing 2 humans to marry and being forced to marry someone

    here’s a hint, you silly people:

    if you don’t like gay marriage, don’t get gay married

    as for religion myth believers like outhouse, keep your ugly, perverted, bigoted, ignorant, mythical, fictional, long book of bullsh!t our of our govt


  38. J. Fred Smug says:

    He’s wrong: it’s NOT an issue to be decided by the states, or even by national referendum. NO ONE’S RIGHTS should be submitted to a popular vote. I cannot believe that we even have to discuss this in the year 2009!

    a few terrorist criminals living in caves make you wet your pants in fear?

    wow, you’re a pussy


  41. angels81 says:

    Merdad why come to a progressive site? All you do is bait people, run off topic bullshit and call people every foul name you can think of. You bring nothing to this site, except to show people what a troll you are.


  42. ljm says:

    Does that make him pro-choice?


  43. Wiz says:

    I think Cheney after supporting gay marriage had to go into the bathroom and throw up about 20 times.


  44. RantingTommy says:

    nerdad, you need an interpreter

    does anyone have a moron-to-english dictionary?


  45. EugeneDebs says:

    MerdeMoron. Until you can post something semi coherent I am not bothering to even TRY to read your stupendously stupid posts. My braincells are threatening to comitt supuku and are begging for the sweet release of a coma just from reading your galactic level ignorance this long. Tick Tock you worthless piece of shite.

    Do any of these GOP backing suckholes actually comprehend how colossally ignorant they truly are ?

    Sheesh ……….


  47. RantingTommy says:

  48. RantingTommy says:

    so nerdad, how was that moonpie and milk?


  49. Wiz says:

    I don’t think we should be hurling insults at people who disagree with progress, we should address them on the basis of the issue. There is plenty of hate over on Fox Nation if you want to go there. Personally I’m sick of it.

  52. EugeneDebs says:

    Johnintexas Says:

    Debate? You are too stupid to even know what it IS. All you post are brainwashed talking points and stupid baseless assertions. You are too stupid to be taken seriously much less debate. I am sure there are people out there that would like to kill just about anybody. I am also sure that the people who know you best for the stupid, brainless, piece of filth bigot you are, most likely are first on the list of wanting YOU dead. MY GOD you are ignorant. Just get out. Our country doesnt need your bigotry anymore than our genepool needs your stupidity.

    I seee you are still sorry not enough Americans are DYING. Been a while since you had a party to celebrate Americans DYING? Nothing you love more than seeing Americans DIE. Thinking about the more horrible deaths of Americans gets your otherwise USELESS little thingy hard doesnt it? Keep celebrating Americans DYING and pretending it is patriotism instead of your cowardice and stupidity


  53. RantingTommy says:

    wiz, we don’t do that to people who simply disagree

    these trolls are known entities and the only appropriate response to them is scorn and ridicule


  54. Luis Chapulin M says:

    Lib TV reports- hey EugeneDebs read you monophonic tv reported anti usa prop…

    chicken and waffles Says:

    Oh the stupidity. Then again stupidity is all you have. Why dont you and MerdeMoron get together and have a little do the right thing party. Just think how the collective IQ of America would soar when the two of you suck on a couple of tailpipes


  56. angels81 says:

    Once again merdaddy I see you are just not bright enough to stay on topic. You must have been a real wiz in school. You must have been proud of that D- you got as your high mark.

    that’s cute

  62. RantingTommy says:

    why do rushpublicans hate america?


  63. RantingTommy says:

    i think rushpublicans are afraid of freedom

    they need big daddy govt to tell them how to live, just as long as the govt does not interfere with corporations’ dog-given right to screw them over


  64. RantingTommy says:

    cheney just can’t say he hates “teh gay” because his wife won’t let him disown his daughter


  65. EugeneDebs says:

    Just go kill yourself MerdeMoron you couldnt set a match on fire. You are stupid. You are a coward and a punk. Just go kill yourself and rid the world of your stench. You are a burden on all who know you. Just kill yourself


  66. angels81 says:

    Hey merdaddy, do you take the flag to bed with you every night? You must be a lonely guy.


  67. Marie says:

    Our daily troll is an older man with limited education, who watches Fox all day when he is not posting here – he doesn’t have an opinion that he can support because he isn’t smart enough.


  68. ralph the wonder locust says:

    Merdad, you really didn’t need to bring your buddies johnintexas and chicken waffler to drive home the point that some conservatives are real idiots. Your posts alone were quite sufficient to establish the proposition.


  69. RantingTommy says:

    nerdad is all for killing babies

    he has a problem with the termination of a fetus, though


  70. angels81 says:

    merdaddy, what the hell is CMNBC?


  71. EugeneDebs says:

    MerdeMoron. Arent you embarassed that a retarded MONKEY is much smarter than you will ever be? Dont you get despondent at the thought that every breath you take for the rest of your life will be prolonging your pathetic life as a moron too stupid to ever do anyone any good? Do the right thing Merde. Tick Tock


  72. RantingTommy says:

    cheney and the right wing owned mainstream media have rednecks like nerdad convinced that the media is liberal biased

    the fact that they are too stupid to see the parodox is what makes them perfect gullible recipients of advertising messages aimed at their base fears


  73. angels81 says:

    merdaddy, just a little hint for that pea brain of yours. You spell you, y-o-u, not u.


  74. RantingTommy says:

    Merdad Says:

    so, if u are for abortion, why u mom did not aborted your worthless lib head RantingTommy

    the more pertinent question is why did your mother go through with her abortion of you?

  78. RantingTommy says:

    nerdad is just a failed parody that has turned bitter because his parody was regarded as lame by the TP community


  79. ShadowBoxer says:

    Does anyone else get the impression that “merdad” is computer-generated? That they have gotten so low on the troll pile that they have to have an automated troll? I mean can any human really be this obtuse and off topic? Really….yikes.

    Besides, I’m a big strong liberal, I don’t need a former male cheerleader (Bush, look it up) to protect me

    Oh, right, Merdad can be an asshat. I guess I mean, I don’t think one can be a concept. Why am I trying? Why haven’t I flagged?

    I’m going straight to the shaved ass comment for that one…be back!

    Yes, you are a rambling moron.

  102. davidwaters says:

    This is a progressive step for a very repressed group. In addition to homosexuals, we also need to remember other repressed groups. I would like to see the federal government remember the global impoverished and do more to address global poverty for strategic and humanitarian reasons.

    The Borgen Project has good info on the estimated cost of ending global poverty:

    $30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.

    $550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.

    Oooo, great idea, MCM! That would preoccupy him for a good five years.

    nerdad’s family tree is a stump


  113. dbadass says:

    I propose a simple topic…. What is Merdad’s purpose?


  114. PatrioticLiberalChristianMantisReligiosa says:

    dummy lower taxes

    The only truth I’ve seen so far from the waterlogged troll.

    There are some trolls not worth engaging directly although they can be fun to bat around indirectly. Merdad qualifies.


  115. EugeneDebs says:

    You mean MerdeMoron STILL hasnt killed himself? Tick Tock

    Merdad Says:
    liberated over 70 millions little guys.

    What, 70 million sperm?


  117. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    Well, I have TREMENDOUS respect for the man and all he has done in the last 8-9 years

    I could NEVER respect a man who took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and then decided it as too inconvenient to do so. I don’t understand how any truly patriotic American could. If you don’t believe in following the Constitution, then you don’t believe in America. The Constitution is America!


  118. dbadass says:

    America is not a god damned piece of paper….


  119. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    lets talk about abortion and death penalty, you worthless libs…

    Said the pathetic troll who doesn’t want us to hurl insults at each other. And, as always, since he has nothing to say about the topic of the thread, he wants to discuss something else. The place for that is the most recent ThinkFast thread. Not here.

    I won’t be going there now.

    School is out for the summer. Friendless and socially inept teens are flocking to TP like it’s a parked freight train. Now some graffitti is artful, but this is pure vandalism. Perhaps TP admin could pay some overtime to clean up these threads? I recommend that we regulars do not repost any of the kids’ babbling so that the clean-can be complete. Talking about it rather to it helps if you gotta say something, but this has devolved into garbage.

    Isn’t this like Lex Luthor saying he’s friends with Superman, just because Brainiac has all the Kryptonite?

    This troll is one of our prototypical units. Babbling inanely and dragging the thread anywhere but on topic, just as long as the troll becomes the center of intention.

    Oh dear god I agree with Dick Cheney… I suddenly feel the urge to bathe…


  124. jerseyboyblue says:

    How very thoughtful of you Dead-Eye. That still doesn’t excuse you for being a murderous, power-mad SOB who was responsible for the giant mess we’re enduring.


  125. curious says:

    The only reason he unlike most of his right wing hypocrites has not come out against it, is because his daughter is gay. Again, it depends on his own personal interpretation of what constitutes sin. Other people may have sin attached to their personal lives, but that’s because they are not named CHENEY.

    That’s how it always works on the right. HYPOCRITES.


  126. dbadass says:

    Merdad suffer serious identity issues. I sort of feel bad.

    That’s right freakshow I am here too…


  127. kdgamergirl says:

    I’m convinced Merdad is just some lonely, bored teenager looking to cause trouble. He’s been looking up conservative talking points just to get us going. Just keep flagging and maybe we’ll be rid of him soon.


  128. dasm says:

    The only sane thing Cheney ever said. But he’s still a dishonest mass-murderer, twisting facts to meet his own hateful ends. He’s a monster, & this quote doesn’t change that. He lied to invoke the killing of 100s of thousands of Iraqi civilians, women & children included. He’s an evil, anti-Christian bigot. His actions prove it.


  129. Xisithrus says:

    What is Merdad’s purpose?

    Like the boy who stuck his finger in the dyke to stem the flow of water, Merdads purpose is to stick his finger in his ___ and stem the flow of crap


  130. Xisithrus says:

    Im pretty sure Cheney wasnt talking about workers unions


  131. cd says:

    If Cheney thought his ratings were low before he just drove away the hardline right wingers.



  132. EugeneDebs says:

    Geez MerdeMoron you STILL havent killed yourself. At least have the decency to be embarassed at how stupid and pathetic you are and just STFU


  133. www.regimeofterror.com says:

    Calling Cheney “evil” because we disagree with some of his policies is not something serious minds do.

    Hey Kevin. I just saw the YouTube video about web 3.0 and I have had this idea about our future economy.
    It’s a bit in tune with the Zeitgeist film. See, if all of our knowledge was shared, we couldn’t make money of it. Siki?
    porno
    Porno izle
    sex videolar?
    I’m a musician and I kinda have the feeling that in the future people will pay for live performances, because we have computer software that is very close to sounding like a musical instrument, with a modelled human touch. So, if a person that has never played the guitar, can click a button and sound like Jimi Hendrix, than what is the coolness about all this digital music really? Infact, I think that the more advanced this gets, the less interesting it becomes. We are still in awe over a youngster that can make the violin cry and we will definately be in even more awe when a person can actually do with their fingers that what we can do in an iPhone application.
