The "Uniter" Seeks Once Again To Divide Us...

Why is President Bush set to ramp up attention for amending the Constitution to prohibit gay marriage? To brighten his party's chances of retaining Congress in November and throw his anti-gay base a little red meat, of course.

The funniest part of this whole thing is that, apparently, Bush doesn't even really care about this issue. But like any puppet, he'll take his orders like a good little boy. Which actually makes him somewhat worse than the right-wing mouthbreathers that want homosexuals thrown back into their closets.

Though Bush himself has publicly embraced the amendment, he never seemed to care enough to press the matter. One of his old friends told NEWSWEEK that same-sex marriage barely registers on the president's moral radar. "I think it was purely political. I don't think he gives a s--t about it. He never talks about this stuff," said the friend, who requested anonymity to discuss his private conversations with Bush.

Ask yourself why else would the Republican party push an amendment that has NO chance of passing.

Ask yourself the same thing when they trot out the flag-burning amendment yet again later in the year.

There's certainly nothing more important out there for them to focus on...
