Bush's Quote, Redux - I hope this guy is right. Thanks to Drew's link, we can read a highly critical inside report on how the core FMA supporters find themselves reduced to quibbles over what the amendment should say and do. Keep in mind that the project to erase civil unions and DP registrations is the one the President has specifically disclaimed. Sure he flirts with supporting "a" constitutional amendment which would "honor" traditional marriage, but he also says "whatever legal arrangements people want to make, they're allowed to make, so long as it's embraced by the state or [?] start at the state level." (I think he almost managed to channel Dick Cheney on that one.) In fact, it seems pretty clear to me Bush has staked out a position openly opposing the extremists here. Of course I don't like his willingness to embrace an "FMA-lite," but given what the bigot brigade wants to do to wipe out so-called marriage substitutes, I can't demonize W. Hell, how many Democratic candidates are pushing for gay marriage again?
