Well, that isn't correct - - most states don't now allow "civil unions."

They're not civil unions when two adults set up legal agreements between each other. Bush is not in favor of civil unions.

But he also said he will leave to states "whatever legal arrangements people want to make." Asked specifically about civil unions, he said it is a state issue "unless judicial rulings undermine the sanctity of marriage."

That left many conservatives and pro-family groups wondering just how far the president is willing to go.

"What the president said is confusing, and some will find it hard to distinguish from Howard Dean, who supported domestic partnerships in Vermont at the state level," said Gary Bauer, president of American Values, a conservative interest group.

Bottom line: the prez said civil unions are OK with him, as long as states- such as Dean's -- do it. I'm sorry you can't spin that fact away, but facts are stubborn things.
