Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

It's not like they don't have anything better to do.....
Let's see now:
1. Rising gas prices - Check. 2. Uncontrolled insurgency and sectarian violence in Iraq with all signs pointing to Civil War- Check. 3. Nuclear proliferation threats from an unstable idiot in Iran - Check. 4. Hurricane season begins again and FEMA is irretrievably broken, while New Orleans is still a wasteland - Check. 5. Medicare prescription drug program is a debacle - Check. 6. America's public schools are a mess - Check and double check. 7. Our borders are sieves, and there is no good plan for immigration, let alone an "immigration policy" - Check. 8. Reports of massacres in Haditha and other behaviors not befitting US soldiers, let alone human beings - Check.
So - what is the US Senate going to spend the next 2-3 WEEKS debating, with little to no chance of the measure passing, because Bush wants to push a political agenda?
An amendment to the US Constitution to ban same sex marriages.
Shame on you - you have far more important things to worry about than who the rest of the country is sleeping with! It's worse than silly. It's embarrassing that our government is even considering such a measure in light of all the more important, dire issues that impact a much larger percentage of Americans on a day to day basis.
I want my tax dollars back for the amount of time it is going to take them to bash this topic into the ground - again.
This is another distraction, much like the Schiavo case. It allows the Republicans to consolidate their base, by taking attention away from the 8 points that you listed.
