George Bush-- Man of Courage

The week his campaign for re-election opens, President Bush announces he favors a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.
The same week, poll results show that 61% of Americans oppose gay marriage.
You don't suppose Bush knows about these polls, do you?
The guy is blatantly pandering to his conservative base.
He reminds me of Clinton. Get the poll results, then call the press conference.
He knows this amendment stands little chance of passing.

Bush is conservative...nuff said bout that.

The typical politician will try to grease both sides on a hotly controversial issue to avoid antagonizing anyone.
One might rightly say he showed courage.

Constitutional Amendment,he wants...and his sycaphantic mouth-piece,Rush Limbaugh has been tap-dancing around the thing all day.
One may ask..where was the outrage,Sir,over the 9th Circuit ruling that a 220 year old Amendment was reserved to the STATE...Sir ?
Give me an enemy that gets in my face..that isn't afraid to say he despises everything I stand for...

It doesn't take any courage to take a stand that has 61% support in the polls.
Courage would involve standing up for your convictions, even if the majority disagrees.
GW has already demonstrated his lack of courage many times over. My favorite incident of cowardice was when he signed the CFR law, even after acknowleding he thought the law was unconstitutional-that finger was telling him to sign the law, and George the jellyfish folded like a cheap suit.

BULL-HOCKY! Besides the fact that even consensual sex between members of the same sex is a crime in most states ... a sin against God and man ... this is one of those things that need to be the same everywhere and that can't be done at the state level!
Where can a man and wife go that their marriage isn't recognized as legal?
So if it's a state thing ... say you marry your sodimite sweetie in California or New Jersey ... and move to Texas ... Kansas or any other state that doesn't recognize it ... does that mean your not married in those states? ... say you file your state taxes, your current state doesn't recognize the marriage of "gay's"... then what? ... do you file jointly for Federal and single for state? If Gays are allowed to file as "married" in states that don't recognize then, isn't that the same as forcing the state to recognize it?
There are just too many legalities where marriage is concerned ... making it legal is the same as condoning it ... [xx(]

Cheer up grumpy, too early in the morning to get upset[V]
Gay marriage upsets you more then the loss of the Second Amendment..?
I have a CCL that is not recognized in other states. If they do not have to recognize my CCL, then they do not have to recognize a perverted marriage.

I'll try to get this out as best I can.
There is a federal law/statute (something or other) that says a legal "document" issued by one state must be recognized by all states.
ie...marriage license, drivers license, auto registration, etc.
The fact that marriages are being performed in Kalifornicate in violation of state law makes them invalid not only in CA but in all states. The marriage licenses from SF aren't worth the paper they're written on anywhere but SF. And probably not even there, legally. Not only are they being issued in violation of state law, the application for the license is being altered, which is also against state law. So either way you look at it...they're screwed![:I]
Hope that came out not too convoluted.

Could it be that you have a sub-concious craving for the truth?

I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!<BR>
But again, they do not recognize my Pennsylvania license to carry a firearm in New Jersey, notwithstanding article 4 section 1, so why would one assume protection for gay whatevers under article 4 section 1.

Kimberkid- I have a marriage license that is recognized in all of the other states.

The CCL is another license that needs to be made federal ... but that's a whole another can of worms ... all these different state laws that are more restrictive the already un-constitutional federal laws need to be wiped off the books ... IMHO!

I will leave morality of homosexuality out of this even though I do not agree with it because a higher and wiser power will be the judge of them,not I.I live in Los Angeles and have worked in North and West Hollywood for those who are not familiar with L.A.it is the areas were a person's homosexuality is very open and have had gay co-workers and friends.As every strata of society their culture is multi leveled.There are those who just want to live the lives as you and I in piece.There are however a a group that is very militant and not only want tolerance the want everyone to accept them as main stream and put it in your face.Not just being together but going out of their way to put it in your face doing things and acting with conduct that should not be condoned strait or gay.This group is very vocal and have a say way out of proportion to not only their culture but our society.The Constitution should "protect" a minority group from unfair prosecution not allow it to change our society as a whole.
As far as a ammendment,it is the way to go.Why? Individual politicians and judges are using the Constitution as a "excuss" not a "reason" to not enforce local and state laws.This removes the excusses.
