The Republican Unity Coalition (RUC) was formed after Mr. Bush's election by prominent members of the party with the mission of making homosexuality a "nonissue" for Republicans. Today, that seems a tougher goal for the group, who called the president's position "a terrible betrayal of conservative principles."

"We believe this amendment is divisive and distracting from far larger and more important issues and that it will ultimately fail in Congress," the statement said.

Charles Francis, president of the RUC, said his organization stands by its position that it will "neither support nor defend" the president on this issue but declined to comment for this story on the homosexual community's influence over the president.

A Harris Poll released Feb. 18 paints a picture of a homosexual community that is small, largely wealthy and highly political.

Okay, then, let's see who this "Republican Unity Coalition" is........hmmmm, got some familiar names here.....

Your question of the day:

What is the moral distance between Republican politics and the Court of Honorius?

I'm asking because I can't measure it.
