Good question. I guess that is what I am thinking. I suspect that Bush pulled a common political lie by claiming allegiance to something popular during the election, and then dropping it completely afterward. To politicians this is in the white lie category. To voters who placed substantial importance on the issue, it is a major lie and betrayal.

Even when Bush gave lip-service to it, he was hedging. Change the name and he's for it.

These days I think many voters just expect their candidate to lie a little. Note how some McCain supporters are thinking he's lying just to win the Republican primary -- and they are perfectly okay with it.

We get just the kind of candidates we deserve.

I'm going to put it as gently as I can here. That's bunk.

The President is, and has been consistently pro-life and pro-marriage. (And even the hostile attitude of this article toward Laura is based on 'INFERENCE' and not 'FACT.' She has only talked about marriage relative to it's being a 'campaign issue' and has never said she approves of gay 'marriage.' They're guessing about Laura, and drawing conclusions based on their guesswork.......which is dishonest at best. It's an absurd article).

And your accusation that President Bush is a liar of any kind says much about you, Ghost.........and none of it is good.
