# 76 Sissy Bush drops queer-marriage amendment.
This one ought to count at least double.
The last place of refuge for Bush-bots was to parrot, "At least he wants to ban homosexual marriages!" NOT ANYMORE!
He got your vote, now he doesn't even have to pretend to be conservative.
He can stab you in the back and hit you below the belt. John Kerry never pulled a flip-flop of this magnitude.
To be honest, a Federal amendment was dangerous anyway, as it would give the fedgov authority over marriage, but it was Bush's effort to appear pro-family, now he doesn't even have that appearance.

BUSH SAYS HE WILL NOT PUSH GAY MARRIAGE AMENDMENT
By Jim VandeHei And Michael A. Fletcher
THE WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON - President Bush said the public's decision to re-elect him was a ratification of his approach ...
"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post.
For the first time, Bush said he will not press senators to pass a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, the top priority for many social conservative groups.

Bush Drops Gay Marriage Amendment

Washington Bureau Chief (Washington) President Bush said Sunday that he will not press the Senate to pass a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Post Bush said that he remains opposed to gay marriage but believes there aren't the votes in the Senate to ensure the amendment would be adopted.
The change in position comes just days after Democrats called on the President to abandon his push for an amendment. By dropping his push for a constitutional amendment Bush will likely incur the wrath of social conservatives within the GOP, but avoid a confrontation with Democrats when he needs their support in the Senate to confirm dozens of appointments.
TG: See that? He's abandoning the moral conservatives who voted him into office and instead appeasing the liberal Democrats. Isn't that what John Kerry would be doing? Who won this election?
