Now your talkin.
Bush to base: See? I'm still a conservative! ...guys?
There is a broad consensus in America today to protect marriage as only between one man and one woman. If this resolution to amend the Federal Constitution is voted down, then at least, the liberals and the RINOs in the Senate will be unmasked as being out of step with the American people on this basic issue and the people can make their own judgments next time they vote for one of these so called representatives of the American people.
Bush & Co. starts to be in an election mode. Other politicans move to the center during election period, and govern from the left/right when elected. Bush & Co does the opposite. Interestingly, the strategy works for him.
Gain control of the Borders NOW, ban gay marrage later.
Listen at this link!
"He is shamelessly using this ploy to energize his right-wing base. We should never rewrite the Constitution to enshrine intolerance."
Yadda yadda yadda blah blahblah more background noise from the mindless, decadent Left trying to drag the U.S.A. down the same path of decadence that has doomed Europe.
President Bush is now well aware of the fury of Middle America, his base support, over open borders and illegal immigration. If the Republicans satisfy their base support on this single issue, they will receive their support in November and will be re-elected.
There are other issues of profound concern--eminent domain, expanding entitlement programs, litigation crisis, government spending--but open borders and illegal immigration are the deal breaker.
Middle America has excellent reasons to support President Bush and the Republican Congress, vis.:
9/11 was never repeated--thanks to President Bush and his expert leadership.There is still time for the Republicans to pull this crisis out of the fire.President Bush has made excellent judicial appointments. (Democrats can be expected to appoint "activist judges" who will do their best to destroy America and nullify the wishes of the American people.)
Democrats openly (if covertly) encourage open borderes and illegal immigration because they expect them to enlarge the Democrat base support.
Democrats CAN NOT be entrusted with foreign policy (or anything else of importance), especially in these dangerous times.
Democrats are in bed with the trial lawyers.
The Democrat Party is the political machine of the decadent Left--which is in overdrive trying to lead America down the same path of destruction that has doomed Europe.
Et al.
If they satisfy the concerns of Middle America (and the rest of America as well) regarding open borders and illegal immigration--and do not try to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people, which would be a VERY FOOLISH MOVE!--Middle America and the Republican party will kiss and make up and Republicans will be re-elected by a good majority in November.
The American people have NO DESIRE to allow Democrats--the embodiment of looniness, decadence, irresponsibility, and the remnants of the drug-dazed counterculture revolution--to seize control of the U.S.A. and national security during these dangerous times!
He knows this won't pass anytime soon. Noting but a smokescreen to try to distract the base while he and the Senate attempt to sell out the entire nation on the borders. He must really think his base is stupid if he thinks this cheap misdirection trick will appease us.
They know they're in trouble so they bring out the marriage card to feed angry conservatives.
We wouldn't have to re-write the Constitution if activist judges didn't keep trying to change society with pronouncements that have the force of law without being approved by any majority of voters.
President Bush will hold a press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House to reiterate his support of the FMA Federal Marriage Amendment. The Rose Garden press conference is scheduled for Monday, June 5, a day before the Senate is expected to vote on the Constitutional Amendment.
The Senate votes on the Federal Marriage Amendment is only days away, there is no longer enough time to mail your Senators. However, You can contact your senators by e-mail by clicking here: E-Mail Your U.S. Senators.
You may use this sample text in your message:
Dear Senator [name]:
I strongly support Senate Joint Resolution 1 , the Marriage Protection Amendment, which will be brought up for consideration soon. It would amend the U.S. Constitution to state that “Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”
Marriage is more than a lifestyle choice. It makes a unique contribution to the common good of society by providing a way for a man and a woman to bring children into the world and to care for them in the context of a loving, committed, lifetime relationship. I ask you to vote in favor of S.J. Res. 1, in order to permanently protect the institution of marriage.
Sincerely,
[Your name] [Your address]

This shows how that at least half of the Senators in Washington are completely oblivious to the will of the people they supposedly represent. Every state which has put a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman on the ballot has had it passed by a lopsided margin. Here in GA it was 76%-24%, and even in very liberal OR it passed with 63%. Polls show that the voters of every state polled would approve such an amendment. Yet half of the Senate is in the pocket of the sodomite lobby and recites the same old lies as to why they refuse to vote the way their state's people want.
If the constituents of those Senators who are kowtowing to the sodomite lobby's money bags would just for once forget party loyalty for one election and throw the bums out at the next opportunity, maybe the next crop would pay a teensy weensy bit of attention to what the voters of their state want them to do.

Good grief, folks. NO JOKE and ,p.it's happening here also - wake up. This gay agenda is now being pushed into our schools across the country - they used to be 'under the radar' with books not listed as in the curriculum. Now they're openly pushing it for required curriculum , starting in kindergarten. you stop it NOW - or never, Take the example that passed the state legislature in California - that Gov. Schwarzenegger vows to veto http://www.claremont.org/localliberty/archives/004993.html wake up, Sheeple - this agenda has been pushed, hardcore, for 30 years - books for little kids in school have long ago eliminated any references or pictures of a husband/wife., father/mother relationship, While the Two Mommies and Two Daddies books are being taught. GOOD LORD, when are the sheeple going to wake up. Decent people can't conceive that such evil could actually permeate our schools - time to take of the blinders
This is obviously not going to pass the Senate. I think it may end up backfiring regardless.
