Go to hell, George, and take your constitutional amendment with you

this guy takes the meaning of pandering to an entirely new level... obviously, dobson and his ilk have made their point... they've called in their marker...
Next week, the United States Senate will begin debate on a constitutional amendment that defines marriage in the United States as the union of a man and woman. On Monday, I will meet with a coalition of community leaders, constitutional scholars, family and civic organizations, and religious leaders. They're Republicans, Democrats, and independents who've come together to support this amendment. Today, I want to explain why I support the Marriage Protection Amendment, and why I'm urging Congress to pass it and send it to the states for ratification.

Marriage is the most enduring and important human institution, honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith. Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society. Marriage cannot be cut off from its cultural, religious, and natural roots without weakening this good influence on society. Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all.

it's absolutely impossible to overstate how much the administration has polarized and trivialized dialogue in this country... as a nation, we spend no time at all talking about what's really important and now bush directs the united states senate to waste time sticking its nose in what is truly none of its business... i never thought i would see my country stoop to such an absurd low... but then, i've said that on the average of once a month since bush was inaugurated...
