Well I'm glad I'm not American right now. I'd be in the unfortunate position of not having a single candidate to vote for and not in that "I can't trust politicians, they're all scumbags" moronic idealist way but in a "not one candidate maintains a policy portfolio which doesn't have at least one policy so mind gratingly contradictory to my own beliefs that he voids any trust I might have in him" kind of way.
It should be obvious by now that I respect Mr Bush for one thing, his conduct concerning the War on Terrorism. It is for that reason that I couldn't support any of the Democratic candidates, with the exception of Edwards because I have no idea what on earth he stands for and question whether he himself knows.
However George W Bush just weighed in on the constitutional amendment which would not only ban gay marriage, but also deprive homosexuals of basic civil rights and he's supporting it.
That is singularly unforgiveable.
Later
John
