For Bush, and this ridiculous Gay Marriage Amendment, the answer is rhetorical: "How Low won't I go?"
"Bush himself, when asked after he was re-elected, what he would do to get Congress to pass a constitutional amendment against gay marriages, said that he would do little, given the futility of the project."
There's not much I can add to the erudite analysis of this naked politicking, except that anyone who's shocked that Bush would play politics with Constitution must have been in a coma since 2001.
Considering that only 3% of Americans cite "abortion and homosexuality" as the most important moral crisis of our times, maybe Bush is going for the record... trying to push his approval ratings through the presumed floor of the 30% of Americans who are so tribally republican that they would follow Hitler so long as Rush Limbaugh endorsed him.
