It is fairly obvious that Bush used conservative Christian's concern over homosexual marriage to win a few million extra votes. That single issue is one of the biggest reasons that he is still President. Some people voted for him on that issue alone, their concern for the family was so great.
But I guess it was all about politics with him. That makes me sad to have to say it. I was one of those conservative Christians. I was so relieved at getting him re-elected, and look what has happened now.
Remind me again who it is that passes legislation. Cuz I'm pretty sure it's not the President...
What, exactly, is the president's role in passing a constitutional amendment (which is what a ban on gay marriage would require)?
