Bush really does not care about marriage amendment

To all you dedicated Evangelical Christians out there, do not buy into the President's little acting job when it comes to his proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.  A close friend of President acknowledges to Newsweek what most political strategists have expected about Bush's true motivation:

Though Bush himself has publicly embraced the amendment, he neverseemed to care enough to press the matter. One of his old friends toldNEWSWEEK that same-sex marriage barely registers on the president'smoral radar. "I think it was purely political. I don't think he gives as--t about it. He never talks about this stuff," said the friend, whorequested anonymity to discuss his private conversations with Bush.White House aides, who also declined to be identified, insist that thepresident does care about banning gay marriage.

Add this to the fact that in January of 2005 the President told the Washington Post that he no longer had plans to lobby such amendment.  Besides, the White House knows the constitutional amendment will not pass anyway.  So to think this is anything other than an election year ploy gives Bush and his party of corruption much more moral credit than they deserve.
