Politics

I rarely get involved in political discussions since I became very disillusioned with the whole political process many years ago but I do have a question for you more political types. I read this morning in the paper that <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/02/25/build/nation/30-bushgay.inc">Bush urges constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriages</a>. Is our President doing this because he is truly concerned about how same sex marriages will bring about the downfall of the country or is it just a political ploy to try to win back <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,109552,00.html">conservative voters</a>, who he has alienated lately, during this election season? I am disillusioned enough with the political process to think it is the second thing. <br />n<br />n<b>Politics is not the art of the possible.
