THE Wedge issue. Can't see how this can hurt Bush or help any 'rat that gets in the way.

How about a Constitutional ban on activist judges making up new "rights".

"unions between a man and a woman."

Does it define "man" and "woman"?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't support Bush on this. The Constitution should not be amended over the definition of marriage.

But conservatives have made the constitutional amendment a litmus test for Bush.

I know I have. I hope this news is true, but I've got to hear it straight from him to believe it.

It's a good issue to fight the RATS on ....the public is against gay marriages..

according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. According to the survey, 61 percent said no when asked whether gay marriages should be recognized as valid by law. Thirty-five percent said yes.

What percent of the public wants to put that into the Constitution of the United States of America? Think about two other recent amendments: Prohibition and Income Tax.

You know, those terms have taken on so much cultural baggage since Adam and Eve, especially the last 2 thousand years of western thought that we have lost sight of God's original intentions when he created Eve.

He didn't create Eve to be a reproductive partner, he created Eve to be a "helpmate". A helpmate can be either male or female. We need to bring social justice to bear on the defintion of men and women lest we begin to turn the clock back slavery. </ revisionist>

I agress, at the federal level a marriage amendment is unwise; what is needed is the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004 (S. 2082), which was introduced last week and co-sponsored by Senator Zell Miller.

It didn't need to be amended to make slavery illegal either.

I don't really care what the President has said --what I
wait to see is a Federal Congress affirming the Marriage Amendment precisely as drafted and proposed by Rep.Musgrave
and Senator Allard and sent directly to the States for
ratification. Only after this has been recieved and ratified
by the States will the caphony from the queer nation ebb.

Told ya so. Bush is too smart to avoid taking a clear stand on this issue.

Watch for the media to indundate the airwaves with anecdotal stories of "love" and hardship for homosexual couples in response to this. Look further for an emphasis on homosexuals raising (indoctrinating) children.

Not one story will be about the mental problems of children of homosexual couples.

The left's total arguments will be founded on some form of "feeeeeelings".
