Bush calls for gay-marriage amendment
President reassures religious conservatives at Baptist meeting

-snip-

The president’s address to the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention — the fourth year in a row he has spoken to the conservative evangelical gathering — was crafted to rally the social religious conservatives who make up a crucial part of Bush’s governing coalition. He restated his commitment to issues dear to conservatives’ hearts, notably his opposition to same-sex marriage, abortion and research on human embryonic stem cells — a stance he calls the “culture of life.”

Carefully worded appeal

In a nod to polling data that suggest Americans strongly support embryonic stem cell research, Bush sought to focus the debate on theoretical pitfalls should such science be perfected. Not once did he use the words “stem cell” or “embryos.”

Instead, the president cast his position as standing in the way of “cloning” — which some scientists say could be a realistic result of the research — and “the creation of life only to destroy it.”

“We must help the poor, the sick and those who hurt,” he said.

3. it's all politics

it worked in '04 with all the gay marriage initiatives on ballots in getting out their base and they are hoping it will work again in '06--because they don't have anything to run on so they have to try and excite their base this way.

4. Yeah, an FMA will stop the terrorists and improve the economy

and it will put those Clinton's in their place.

What a bunch of Theocratic Fascists.

5. Looks like the FRW is going for a Constitutional Convention

Might as well go for broke on those social issues now.

6. daily i wonder

why * thinks he is above god and can take away the free will that god gave us. god never forced religion upon anyone, but somehow * feels it's within his rights... as a 'god'... shades of caligula.

[Old and In the Way]

8. Cynical political efforts to divide and distract.

People are seeing through your bullshit George.

[Totally Committed]

9. Gay Marriage, Flag Burning...

Why not just scrap the Constitution altogether? He disgusts me. It just smacks of desperation. It's like he's throwing all the shit he can at the wall in hopes something will stick. Some leader.

And, I'm not too thrilled with the SCOTUS's ruling on eminent domain today, either. This country is going to hell in a handbasket!
