President Bush, whose once-faithful base has abandoned him in droves, is turning to the same conservative hot-button issues that won him re-election in 2004 -- homosexual "marriage" and judicial nominees.

This is frankly offensive and pathetically transparent. Bush is screwing us and the country on immigration and arrogantly believes his base is nothing more than little Pavlovian dogs that will reflexively vote the party line once the gay marriage button is pushed. It reminds of the democrats scaring senoir citizens every election season that republicans will cut social security.

Very true. This is another in a long line of signs that Bush doesn't have much respect for the base that got him elected and thinks that all he has to do is to throw us an occasional bone and we'll stay quiet.

Look around FR. Seems like he has reason enough to believe that.
