I have no issues with homosexuals getting married in San Francisco, or anywhere for that matter. I tend to agree with Russ Williams on the issue. This is most definitely the time for Bush to mutter a few words about the sanctity of marriage, yada, yada...then drop it. It is a potentially damaging political issue for Bush, especially with crucial Independents, that can be easily avoided.

Update: I didn't see this but Bush had some comments:

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) said Wednesday he was troubled by gay weddings in San Francisco and by legal decisions in Massachusetts that could clear the way for same-sex marriage. He declined to say whether he was close to backing a constitutional ban.


"I have watched carefully what's happening in San Francisco, where licenses were being issued, even though the law states otherwise," Bush said. "I have consistently stated that I'll support law to protect marriage between a man and a woman. Obviously these events are influencing my decision."


He didn't answer directly when asked whether he is any closer to endorsing a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages, as conservative groups say the White House has privately promised.

Drop it now and go on. Gay unions are inevitable.
