Gays and Dems react emotionally to Bush's call for amendment defining marriage
Fox News:
"President Bush called Tuesday for a constitutional amendment to bar gay marriage, saying the nation must defend 'the most fundamental institution of civilization.' "
Gays accused the President of going to a "nuclear" reaction to gay marriage, while Dems, would you believe, accused the President of being political. The Dems evidently oppose an amendment although they claim to oppose gay marriage. This looks to be a difficult issue for them.
It is not as if the President has been looking for an excuse to start this fight. It was provoked by the Massachusetts Supreme Court manufacturing a "right" to marriage, and a San Francisco mayor who decided to ignore California law. The emotional reaction of the Dems is caused by them having to take a stand that the majority of Americans disagree with. They feel especially put upon because they thought they had framed the debate for this years election on the phony proposition that Bush had done a bad job in fighting the war on terror and handling the economy. If fact, President Bush has done and outstanding job with war on terror and has pulled the US out of a recession into the fast growing economy in the world. But, the last things the Dems want is an honest debate about any issue, those do not work for them very well.
