President Bush 'disappointed' at Senate rejection of gay marriage bill

Mr Bush said he was disappointed but called it "the start of a new chapter in this important national debate".
Critics say Mr Bush is trying to win back disillusioned Republican voters ahead of November's mid-term poll. The decision to throw out the ban was not a surprise and broadly reflects a national consensus, the BBC's James Coomarasamy in Washington says.

Although a majority of Americans oppose same sex marriage, most want individual states to make their own decisions about the issue, our correspondent adds. But supporters of the amendment, including Mr Bush, said they would not give up their fight. "Our nation's founders set a high bar for amending our constitution - and history has shown us that it can take several tries before an amendment builds the two-thirds support it needs in both houses of Congress," Mr Bush said.

Massachusetts Democrat Senator Edward Kennedy accused the Republican leadership of "asking us to spend time writing bigotry into the constitution". "A vote for it is a vote against civil unions, against domestic partnership, against all other efforts for states to treat gays and lesbians fairly under the law," he said

I guess the honeymoon is over?

Did he really expect to win this one?

Just another, hey, look over there!

Aww, poor little man. No, this ain't a new chapter. We all know you need a 'fresh start' everytime you crap your pants. Not this time, people think you suck and it stinks/stuck. Ha fucking ha.

1933 Nazi Germany. I'm 'disappointed' that Bush hates Freedom and Liberty.

A favorite American pastime.

Look! A dominatrix with a strap-on prosthetic marital aid!
