Election day is coming up and what am I to do? Do I “stay the course”, vote republican, and force our young to continue to fight and die in an illegal and un-winnable war in Iraq… or do I take a chance and risk allowing gays the same rights I have?

Dying young Americans or gay rights? Oh, what to do? Well, I can’t allow gays to marry… I JUST CAN’T!

Bush hits hard at gay marriage

STATESBORO, Ga. - President Bush has for months cast the midterm elections as a choice about just two issues: taxes and terrorism. Now, with polls predicting bleak results for Republicans, he is trying to fire up his party by decrying gay marriage.

“For decades, activist judges have tried to redefine America by court order,” Bush said Monday. “Just this last week in New Jersey, another activist court issued a ruling that raises doubt about the institution of marriage. We believe marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and should be defended.”

The line earned Bush by far his most sustained applause at a rally of 5,000 people aimed at boosting former GOP Rep. Max Burns (news, bio, voting record)’ effort to unseat a Democratic incumbent. In this conservative rural corner of eastern Georgia, even children jumped to their feet alongside their parents to cheer and clap for nearly 30 seconds - a near-eternity in political speechmaking.
