Bush thinking to himself, "If only I hadn't married Laura, I could've married into royalty instead."
Bush and his Republican bitches are at it again. His numbers are in the dumper, so he's opened his closet door, pulled that old mothballed conservative gay marriage amendment suit out, dusted it off and put it on for all the world to see. He's decided that now is the time to remind his religious base that he's fighting hard to protect marriage from the gays and liberals. So on goes the "I'm a conservative religious guy" clothes that he can model for all the starry eyed backwards bumpkins that seem to care less that their President has done nothing but make their lives worse while he's made his billionaire friends richer. They say, "Well at least he's gonna stop those homosssssexuals from getting a piece of paper that tells the world they're married." And so it goes...
"Chirac baby, I'm sorry about the whole Freedom Fries thing. You know you're still mon amour chéri."
Never mind that Bush doesn't have the votes in the House or Senate to actually get the amendment passed. Just ignore the fact that everyone knows he's only doing this for political reasons and could really care less about whether it passes or not. Just forget that there is real business that Congress should be dealing with like a horrendous war in Iraq, the potential invasion of Iran, a possibly devastating bird flu, a failing economy, outrageous gas/oil prices, extreme poverty, severely lacking health care, real immigration reform, massive corruption in the GOP, increasing crime, incredibly underfunded school systems, a likely evironmental armaggedon and so many other stupendously important issues that ain't gonna fix themselves. But Bush has decided all that stuff can be put on the back burner for a few weeks while he walks the runway in his old coat of hate that has nothing new to offer and is just a distraction from the real issues of the day.
"Yeah, I know I did some mean things to you in the 2000 election, Johnny Boy, but we can still play conservative and moderate in bed can't we?"
Well, the officail start of the 'new' gay marriage crisis started this morning and already something wonderful has happened. It appears that Bush's base has started to wise up. It's already evident that there is less support from the public, the GOP party and Congress than there was a few years ago when this was first being pushed. Even those that still support the amendment (aka sad idiots), seem to realize that they are being used as political pawns in the GOP's little political chess games. And if anything, Bush might actually be creating the opposite effect that he wanted. As the Religious Right wakes up and sees the manipulation that is going on, they are more likely to withdraw support from Dubya and his cronies this November. Not that they are all going to get smart and start voting as Democrats, but they might actually stop voting straight down the Republican ticket and withdraw their support from those who they don't see taking the issue seriously. However, these conservative politicians have now put themselves in a position where they need to play both sides of the issue and they can't anymore because their base is finally seeing them for what they are - greedy, godless, nasty, ugly, hate mongering manipulators who don't have a moral bone in their bodies.
"Oh Pooty Poot, your eyes are so blue. Let's meet tonight and I'll let you take a private tour of my Washington Monument."
Another wonderful thing has happened too. Americablog and some other terrific sites have rallied their readers together and gotten them to contact all the politicians who do support this stupid amendment to ask their opinions on related issues such as sodomy, masturbation, divorce, sex outside of marriage, etc. Since many of the political backers of this amendment have been through a divorce and almost none of them can truthfully say they haven't engaged in one of the above mentioned religious sins, it just goes to show what utter hypocrites these fools are. They mainly want to use the Bible to justify their votes, which means they are picking and choosing which sins they get legislate. Well, Americablog has their number and is getting its readers to call it. It may not make a huge difference towards making these congressional asshats change their vote, but it is certainly making the workers in their offices uncomfortable and is showing that the left is going to start pushing back when the right starts this kind of stupidity and transparent political posturing. Read all about the good work Americablog and its readers is doing here: America Blog. And while you are at it, make a few calls yourself.
"Kiss me Joe. I know you're a moderate, but please be liberal with your love."
