Exactly! If President Bush went on national TV and explained this in plain and firm language, the public would rally around him. All he has to do is say that marriage is an institution which is older than government, which celebrates the uniting of the opposite sexes in a natural bond which is also the ideal for raising children.

Then, he should explain how a few unelected judges and publicity-seeking politicians in aberrant precincts are trying to force gay marriage on the whole nation.

Finally, he should endorse the Federal Marriage Amendment and call on John Kerry to take a stand one way or another on the issue. Either Kerry supports gay marriage or he opposes it. He can't be allowed the wiggle room to say he opposes it while simultaneously refusing to support any measure which would stop the aforementioned unelected judges and renegade officials from imposing it.

If Bush did that, it would be a turning point in this fight. It would be the equivalent of Clarence Thomas' decisive refutation of Anita Hill. The left was stunned by the fact that he actually stood up to them, since conservatives rarely fight back. Thomas' courage rallied the Republicans, caused the 'Rats to back down with their tails between their legs, and the result was that Thomas' nomination, which appeared doomed, was saved.

It'll take Clarence Thomas-type courage to stop this lawless gay juggernaut. Mealy-mouthed efforts to appease both sides will end in a complete homosexual victory. The only way to stop this is for President Bush to draw the line and fight. If he does, watch Kerry whine, cry, and scream homophobia for a couple of days, after which he'll fold and endorse the Federal Marriage Amendment.

He has done all of that. And as I keep pointing out, he did it before Massachussetts acted and before San Francisco, and now New Mexico, started issuing licenses.

I know this will not satisfy you as I'm sure unless he follows your precise "script" he will fail you. Too bad for you.
