Religious right on Bush's FMA speech: 'We're not buying it'

Los Angeles Times:

The campaign against gay marriage is scheduled to get the full White House treatment on Monday — words from President Bush in front of assembled VIPs and a bank of television cameras.

Such a carefully staged production aims to confer the grandeur of the office on the push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. But even before administration officials announced the event, some invitees denounced it as a sham.

"I'm going to go and hear what he says, but we already know it is a ruse," said Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, which opposes gay marriage. "We're not buying it. We're going to go and watch the dog-and-pony show, [but] it's too little, too late."

Speaking of Bush's anti-marriage campaign, John Aravosis at AMERICAblog promises some interesting phone calls to members of Congress on Monday:

I think we really need to start asking how marriage protection is going in the House and Senate as well. After all, we wouldn't want any Senators or Congressmen who have committed adultery, are committing adultery, or ever will commit adultery voting in favor of "protecting marriage" when they refuse to protect it at home.
