i think it would work... but not anytime soon... not with Pres. Bush at the helms... seeing as he's strongly religious and would be against the policy of supporting any sort of gay marriage... <.< i really hate Bush... of coarse he cant stop everything...

~ Crimson

A LOT of you people blame Bush for a lot of things that he doesn't have control over. Would you people please realize already that Bush cannot make laws?

Bush supports a Civil-Union form of this, Crimson. In which gays would be given all the political rights of married people, but are still technically unwed. Seeing that the word "marriage" is a religious term, this is perfectly reasonable.

Although Bush cannot make laws, but he can stop laws from forming with one single signature.

Not necessarily. However, a veto is rarely overturned. The bills must pass through Congress first before the President has any power over them whatsoever.

I'm just frustrated at the number of misinformed people around the world that blame him for stuff that Congress is responsible for.

Ah, but then it needs a 2/3 majority, which is probably not going to happen, due to the fact that the majority of Congress today is Republican and will agree with anything Bush does.

Again, not necessarily. Probably, though.

Anyway, I guess we've got to get back to topic, here...

OK, it's not just Bush's fault. It's the fault of Bush and the Republican majority in Congress.

Happy now? :angel:
