From Howard Fineman in Newsweek:
In the next term, Rove said, Bush will push—hard—for a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union of man and woman, and for "strict constructionist" judges. "Voters like the president because he doesn't blink and he doesn't waver," says Rove, "and he isn't going to start. He says he values life, and he means it." The cold calculus: force Democrats to defend gay rights and unfettered access to abortion.Cold calculus back at ya: Force Republicans to defend Ken Mehlman and all their other ambiguously asexual friends who won't fess up about whether THEY'RE living a life of pure family values or pure abomination.
You want this war, Karl, you got it. Hope your friends and coworkers don't mind paying the price.
