1. There's an article on MSNBC
Bush's gay union stance irks conservatives
The Associated Press
Updated: 3:05 p.m. ET Oct. 26, 2004

WASHINGTON - Some conservative groups expressed dismay Tuesday over President Bush’s tolerance of state-sanctioned civil unions between gay people — laws that would grant same-sex partners most or all the rights available to married couples.

Some conservative organizations sharply disagreed with Bush and pressed him to seek a constitutional amendment that would ban both gay marriage and civil unions.

“Civil unions are a government endorsement of homosexuality,” said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, an affiliate of Concerned Women For America. “But I don’t think President Bush has thought about it in that way. He seems to be striving for neutrality while defending marriage itself.”

3. Michael Savage said tonight on his radio show...
That he cannot support this Bush flip flop. He was very upset. A caller was complaining about his tyrant against Bush & Savage said something about not being a Bush cheerleader. I do not listen to this show & only caught part of it on my way home from a Democrat candidate meet & greet. I'm not even sure if this is how his name is spelled.

5. The Word Needs To Be Spread
If they're getting this upset over this then it could mean major damage to the Bush campaign.
