Well, I was browsing the internet (ok, not really, I was looking for current issues), and I found something very eyecatching on the first page of a Canadian based site supporting same sex marriage... however, I doubt Bush would fight so hard to sleep with the religious right and then ditch them at the last second...

Fact or Fiction?

I didn't watch GMA on Oct. 26th, but did anyone here do so? I really want to know if this site is just giving out a bunch of bullshit or telling the truth? If it is the truth, then Bush has gone nuts. How can he support the legal union of gay people after opposing it his entire term? Also, if it's true, then I'm sure John Kerry will quickly come out and change his stance on it once again, saying that he now has decided to support it as well. But seriously, I think this article is bullshit as of now, because I can't find any transcripts saying that Bush was interviewed on Oct. 26th and that he talked about this at all.

So, anyone care to tell me if it is true or not, and if it is, then your thoughts on whether it is just an election ploy or if he intends to follow through with what he (*cough*) said?

Ugh... Well it's my opinion of course, but anything said this close to an election, by either candidate, shouldn't be believed. I'm sure there are motives behind that statement -- although I don't have a clue what they are...

Now the new question: Why would this pro-gay marriage site make a lie like this; I mean, it could cause some gay regulars there to like, vote for Bush now thinking they will be able to get married! So what were the site's motives!??! It makes no sense.

Thats a year ago.


I think Bush is changing his opinion since he believes it wont pass in most states. I know when I walk, I see at least 20 more political sings against it than for it, as well as alot more commericals against it. I think Bush is just now trying to get some more supporters since he does need them if he wishes to win.

The fact that he said that he doesn't know if homosexuality is a choice or not makes me 100% sure that he's just doing it to bring in some more votes. He probably thinks that the people who are voting for him are going to anyways, and they won't change their minds, so he can still pull in more votes by doing this.

I think what's so interesting is what's going to happen with Bush being anti gay marriage, and Cheney being for it. =\

Cheney is more anti-gay than Bush is. And I honestly doubt the validity of his claims. You know what? He could say that the war in Iraq was for fluffy bunnies if it would bring it more votes, doesn't damn well mean he is being sincere.

Bush supports gays but not gay marriage because, well, it's not part of any major religeon that I can think of. Hell, in Christianity, it says 'no gay marriage'. It's like being hindu and eating cow, it's not what you do.

Now, if Bush doesn't support civil unions, then that's another story.

I believe that this is incorrect. Cheney, to the best of my knowledge, has never endorsed the FMA with anything more than an "I support the President" type logic. He refused to support it at the debates, even.
