New There's an obvious explanation, though:
Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark (D-Calif.) said marriage is less important in determining whether families escape poverty than education. He accused Bush of latching onto an idea that is popular with the GOP political base, including conservative Christians, in an election year. "I can't help but believe this is a program sold at the prayer breakfasts around the country," Stark said.
It's all part of the Compassionate separation of Church and State, expressed in that ... umm what did they use to call it?










..er Constitution thingie, a hopelessy nonAshcroftian document from the dim past. Ah.. found it; right under that copy of the PATRIOT Act.

New Remember his last attempt?
The "faith-based" drive?

Sounded great. Right up until the Moonies and Scientologists were going to benefit from it.

This will go over great.

Right up to the point where CPS takes a child away from an abusive male who is being paid $100 a month to fuck momma and discipline the kids.

Once again, the world is a little too complex for Bush to understand.
