That reticence is shared by Vice President Cheney, who has a lesbian daughter.

------------------------

The administration is compromized, in more places and ways than this.

-----------------------

A constitution ammendment is not needed, and would be next to impossible. Consulting a dictionary as to the conventional use of the English language will do.

With the capture of Hussein and the resultant rise in popularity, we will now see the real Bush since he now doesn't have to please conservatives as much. Just shows that Bush is an unprincipled liberal who only says what he thinks will get him elected.

Since Bush sees no conservative opposition, he can now pander to fringe groups like sodomites and illegal aliens. Funny how Bush seems to do more to please them than conservatives who put him in office.

Personally, I'll support any conservative candidate - even a 3rd party one - before Bush will get my vote.

Typical USELESS Today and other left-wing media tactic: Create a non-story and phony poll to divide conservatives against Bush.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

1660 The marriage covenant, by which a man and a woman form with each other an intimate communion of life and love, has been founded and endowed with its own special laws by the Creator. By its very nature it is ordered to the good of the couple, as well as to the generation and education of children. Christ the Lord raised marriage between the baptized to the dignity of a sacrament (cf. CIC, can. 1055 § 1; cf. GS 48 § 1).


1625 The parties to a marriage covenant are a baptized man and woman, free to contract marriage, who freely express their consent; "to be free" means:

- not being under constraint;

- not impeded by any natural or ecclesiastical law.

The thing that really chapps me, well one of them, is that the liberals get their way. They want me to be very mad about this issue, which I am, and they want my anger focused at W, which it is. I'm playing into their hands as I think of voting for Walter Williams for president. I will only do that when I am convinced it is a lose lose situation between the dems and the Republicans. The jury's still on that one.

that he doesn't see that they threaten to devalue the real thing,"

If someone else's marriage is enough to devalue your own, you have bigger problems than you think.
