WASHINGTON — The campaign against gay marriage is scheduled to get the full White House treatment on Monday — words from President Bush in front of assembled VIPs and a bank of television cameras.
Such a carefully staged production aims to confer the grandeur of the office on the push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. But even before administration officials announced the event, some invitees denounced it as a sham.

"I'm going to go and hear what he says, but we already know it is a ruse," said Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, which opposes gay marriage. "We're not buying it. We're going to go and watch the dog-and-pony show, [but] it's too little, too late."
Such comments have raised the prospect that the debate over gay marriage — designed to galvanize one of Bush's most important constituencies, social conservatives — could instead exacerbate the president's political headaches.<hr /></blockquote>
It seems Bush can't even pander to the extreme anymore.
We have issues of immigration, health care, iraq mess, terrrorsm, $3 gas, minimum wage, higher education costs, falling science scores in public school, outsourcing, economy, corruption, and I'm sure Gayle can add about 50 others to the list /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif so what are we going to make our priority? adding discrimination to the consititution. (with the help of the LDS church ( http://www.billiardsdigest.com/ccboard/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=npr&Number=227252&page=0&v iew=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 )
This really isn't even about getting the amendment passed but about rallying the extremists around the president again. Are they really going to fall for that one again?
