The pristine river waters of Republican values actually empty into a vast, saline sea of trucker hats and KJV prophecy types.

The waters analogy is a good one, as it just keeps getting deeper and deeper here.
(Trucker hats. Yeah.)
Actually, I think Bush just shot himself in the foot. For all of the polling that's been done, I think he's overestimated the support for this. I think an awful lot of people who have never been aware that they knew a gay person have sort of casually and reflexively answered "no" to the "do you favor gay marriages" question, but, when it comes down to it, they either really don't care enough about the issue to actually ratify it, or they're quietly embarrassed that some people even think it's an issue. Yeah, you do have a small hard-core group who don't like it because their own piece of the true cross (or is it ark) whispered to them that gawd hates fags, and so they do, too, but you have to figure that Darwinism is going to have its way with them before too long. That kind of idiocy has to, eventually, result in long-term job loss, and then they'll be Dems, and you can worry about them.
