It seems fairly obvious...
No doubt some nice Republicans will put me right...
However the mid-term elections are five months away, and political timing is ripe.
What other reason could there be , with the world and the country in a mess, this is what he spends his time doing, with a little help from his friends Jerry and Pat of course.
It gets him votes from the god squad.
Smoke and mirrors, my young padawan learner...
Seriously, it is just that- smoke and mirrors, to make us look away from the issues we need to be addressing, the issues that the Administration *doesn't* want to address because that would imply that they gave a rat's a$$ about us common folk.
People can chew on that for the summer and conveniently forget about how the Bush administration has fucked up everything they've touched.
one word. diversion. we're so onto that loser.
forgot to vote. see what a bad american i am? as for his "base." his base is a dying breed. their days are numbered.
Even if it doesn’t get through he’ll still go through with it because he’s “above the law”

It looks as if the issue is being used as a conservative litmus test in elections this fall.
"'It is true what this vote will do will be to help the voters identify who is and is not supportive of the family,' Dr. James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said in an interview on Monday. 'And I think those that are not are going to have to answer for it.'
--- to put it in context
"President Bush's push for the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage that is being debated in the Senate this week comes as many Republicans and religious conservatives are beginning a campaign to help lawmakers who support it during this year's elections -- and to punish those who do not," says the New York Times .
I did some thinking on this. Maybe its because the democrats might win some seats in congress and soon he wont be able to pass it. So he’s doing it now when the republicans have the “power”

The issue was killed in the Senate today so Bush will have to dream up some other stupid idea to divert attention from his own shortcomings.
