"We're encouraged the administration appears to be embracing that centrist stance," said Matt Daniels, president of the Alliance for Marriage, one of the key backers of the amendment now pending. "The president's statements today reflect where most Americans are on this issue."

Bush is crystal clear: he is not going to come out against people being able to set up legal agreements with each other, something that they can do now.

The Gary Bauers and Robert Knights of the world see even the status quo as a threat to heterosexual marriage, and, of course, they're just being hysterical.

"Civil unions" is essentially a legal issue, and can be done now. The radical right is just trying to grab on to an issue, since Bush supports the Federal Marriage Amendment.

It's crystal clear that he's trying to avoid discussion of family policy issues until after the election. The partisans have screwed up family policy really, really badly -- and there's a lot of corruption involved -- they're hopin' and prayin' and wishin' that none of it comes out during the campaigns.

Well, that isn't correct - - most states don't now allow "civil unions." (Howard Dean's Vermont does, and I guess Bush is OK with that). But of course, you're right that we shouldn't criticize anything Bush does or says, so bravo for putting this criticizer in his place. Doesn't he read freerepublic? Doesn't he know that Bush is not to be criticized? Where does he get off?

The Gary Bauers of the world understand that you can't deal with the devil and give him half of what he wants - for two reasons. (1). Even half of what he wants is bad for society, (2). Evil will never be satisfied with any half measure, it will continue to push and drive for its dark agenda.

And what "status quo" are you referring to? State recognition of homosexual pervert "unions" is a new-age innovation, never before seen in any society except, perhaps, for the chimpanzee culture in the mountains of Zimbabwe.

Allowing same-sex "unions" accomplishes the exact same thing as a fully acknowleged marriage, for all intents and purposes. It puts the American seal of approval on blatant, overt sodomy, opens the doors ever wider to allow these scumbags to adopt and corrupt little children, and it forces American taxpayers to support these twisted pigs with health plans and other benefits.

The status quo you refer to is the one being overthrown by these deviants and their ignorant supporters.

Does that mean that we can expect Bubba Bush to tell us that it all 'depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is'???
