That's the thing.... Bush didn't put it forward! I remember reading an article from Bob Novak and a number of other pieces bitching that Bush wasn't supporting it. He stook up against it saying that it was "unnecessary" for the longest time. But the pressure was too much for him to bear and he caved. I'm sorry he did, but at least I know in my heart that he really doesn't want to do it. This is politics, and I realize that good men sometimes have to support bad ideas in order to win. Nevermind that most evangelicals aren't bigots and have better things to occupy their time with than worrying what other people are doing in their bedrooms, but I guess that didn't factor into the political calculation. Who knows who we will go after next! Those immoral left-handed people? Those red-haired perverts?
At least good people like your boyfriend realize where the President's heart really stands on the issue, even though he isn't able to show it.
Given Bush's putting forward the Marriage Amendment, can you really be surprised at that?
