In a move that is as Machiavellian and obvious as can be, Frist has announced his plans to push a constitutional amendment against gay marriage this term.

Wow, imagine that, in an election year the Republicans are going to mount a sure-to-lose war on gay marriage. In the article is this stunningly obvious fact:

Republican and Democratic aides privately acknowledged the vote will probably fall far short of the 67-vote supermajority needed to advance a constitutional amendment.

Hmmm, a sure failure. When will the Republicans tire of whipping this gay issue to death? Wait, who am I kidding? If they didn't have pointless distractions like gay marriage the voting public would actually see what Republicanism has done for our country (I refer our readers to the maps in the left column of the blog).
