Bush is listening to his supporters, not his mother.

If the GOP says he will be voted in because of this, he will do as he is told.

No big surprise.

So like that last little bit with the Gay Marriage amendment, Bush did not loose any votes amongst the gay voters (or not enough to be counted) and furthered his support in conservative areas that might be swing votes.

And he didn't do squat. All he said was his administrations position. He will not be able to get this as an AMENDMENT to the CONSTITUTION, so it was a safe bet.

So, whatever. We are on a conservative back swing right now, and between that and the terrorisim scare policy pushing, a lot of freedoms have been quietly removed at a time we would be less likely to either notice them or USE them.
