First post here, you guys...Please be nice to me!
President Bush said: "States ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others..." "I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so," Bush said in an interview aired Tuesday on ABC. Bush acknowledged that his position put him at odds with the Republican platform, which opposes civil unions.

"...if that's what a state chooses to do so..."
This is the part of his statement that they'll all gloss over. I mean, if we end up having this forced down our throats, then at least the individual states can fight against this on their own turf, bringing the actual decision closer to the people, and I'm sure it'll be an uphill battle from there. When you take it to the people, the people start to pay attention.
Yep. That Bush. What a dummy. *Wink*
A civil union for gays is a far cry different than gay marriage.
Gays haven't been fighting for civil unions. they don't want civil unions. They want gay marriage. Period!
Gays and their enablers fought for gay marriage in Mass. and elsewhere this year. like I said, gays don't want civil unions.
So Bush favoring civil unions is no big deal. Bush, though does not support gay marriage. Bush has fought for a Constitutional Amendment banning agy marriage. kerry is opposed to it. Kerry voted against DOMA.
Kerry wont defend traditional marriage in states that have banned it.
The part that you leave out is that Kerry's route in voting against DOMA , and not supporting a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage is that he favors a route in which APPELATE COURTS, DISTRICT COURTS, AND EVEN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE US CAN OVERTURN STATE LAWS WHICH HAVE BANNED GAY MARRIAGE in the states that have banned gay marriage.
To protect traditional marriage DO NOT vote for sKerry.
No doubt you know this already. Please don't plug for Kerry. Kerry wont defend traditional marriage.
Bush will. and has.
