ANd we were told this was a losing divisive issue for Bush...
Even rats know when to abandon a doomed ship. Looks like even the Demoncrats can appreciate that simple principle.
CHECK MATE!
"The poll found that African-Americans in Michigan are among the strongest supporters of the Marriage Protection Amendment, with 76 percent saying they will definitely vote for it,"
This is the greatest strategic victory I have ever seen by conservatives. The liberals are in full retreat... and that's if theyre smart! I Declare August 5th, V-M day(victory on marriage day)
Go ahead make my day!
"ANd we were told this was a losing divisive issue for Bush..."
Bush really needs to pick this up. It is a perfect opportunity to show that Kerry is out of touch with America. Kerry has voted against every attempt to protect traditional marriage(including DMA signed by clinton). This should be in a campaign ad.
Are you kidding??!! The Democrats can't be true to their own principles. This is all for political expediency. They believe that the marriage amendment is wrong, but they don't have the cahonies to speak what they believe. They hope to dupe the voters. With the media's help, the probably will.
Some of Bush's ads have "family values" mentioned. He could easily expand that, because the issue is in his pocket.
During the presidential debate, this would be a winning issue. Bush could mention Kerry's voting record - it's fair game.
"Some of Bush's ads have "family values" mentioned."
Why does he stay so vague? He could make a much bigger impact by flat out saying in a campaign ad: "John Kerry has voted against every attempt to protect traditional marriage(including DMA signed by former President clinton). John Kerry, out of touch with America"
Bush could let "non-coordinated" Rebpulican and conservative section 527 organizations run ads about Kerry's record on the issue. Let McCain condemn the ads.
This issue will bring voters to the polls that normally stay at home. They will be conservative voters, and they will probably vote mainly for Bush.
It is almost as if a "divine" humor is at work here. Wouldn't be something if the homosexual issue was instrumental in getting President Bush reelected?
Actually this isn't from a demo group. This is from a pro-family group.
The demo party is beholden to Hollywood and other radical leftists. They will oppose the amendment.
BTW - If I was President Bush, I would ask Kerry if he is going to nominate supreme court justices that will be like the fools sitting on the Mass. Supreme Court? I would hammer home that Kerry is from the state that has such tyrants sitting on the bench. Can we not expect more of the same in a Kerry administration?
That's the best way to do it. That's how the Dork Man keeps his hands clean of Soros, Moore, and all the other left wing bozos. Blame it on them.
It's the new Campaign Finance Reform rules. There's more dirty money flying around than ever before. Good move, McCain - NOT!
I don't know. Hopefully the local leaders understand. But considering how much like lemmings that the donks can act like, it appears to me that it is almost inevitable that the fence-sitting leadership is likely to put both feet in their collective mouths prior to the elections.
I think it will help Bush already. People love their kids, and those kids have to grow up in this country.
That's why it was on the primary ballot in Missouri not the general election ballot. I think it is quite strange that a a state constitutional amendment could be ratified in a primary election. Not all parties have primaries. Usually fewer people show up for primaries than for general elections.
