ArchivedOn gay marriage, Bush co-opts polarizing issueLinda, Ah. Well, I think in this case it's a matter of timing. He's bringing it up now, when he's up for re-election. That, and personally, I tend to assume that anything a politician does is being done for political gains. Except there apparently isn't any political advantage to supporting gay marriage. None of the serious Democratic candidates are doing it, that I'm aware of. Aineo, I think you're missing some words here; I'm not sure what you're saying past the comma. As to the first half, well, people do tend to try to use political parties to push their goals, do they not? That's part of how our country's form of democracy works. And our President's current stance on gay marriage is also part of that -- he's offering to push for one of the goals of the people who will be voting for him. Nonetheless, the people who will be negatively affected by that push are likely to be disappointed, at the very least. |
