The moderate Democrat, center-left Democrat, McCain Democrat, whatever, who voted for Bush because they thought he was shying away from making the gay marriage issue a federal one ought to start taking count of every one of their beliefs Bush will flush down the toilet over the next four years. Here's numero uno.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will renew a quest in his second term for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage as essential to a ``hopeful and decent'' society, his top political aide said on Sunday.Bush's call for a constitutional ban on gay marriages failed last year in Congress, but his position was seen as a key factor motivating Christian conservatives concerned about ``moral values'' to turn out in large numbers and help supply Bush with a winning margin in last week's election.
The Faustian bargain pays back in spades, remember that.
