Mary Cheney, daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, on being a Republican in a Q&A with the National Journal:

"There are people out there who want to strap bombs onto babies and blow up as many men and women as they can.

I don't think I have the luxury of being a single- issue voter on the issue of gay rights. I have made very clear publicly my differences of opinion with certain people in the [Bush] administration on the issue of gay rights."
