BUSH BACKPEDAL ON MARRIAGE IRKS RIGHT: From the Washington Times

Some social conservatives are angry with President Bush for saying a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex "marriage" lacks the requisite votes for approval in the Senate.

Mr. Bush has acknowledged no such obstacle for his proposal to add personal investment accounts to the Social Security program, even though that plan also lacks support among some Republican lawmakers.

"Are the votes there for privatizing Social Security?" asked Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

Mr. Perkins has joined with several other prominent social conservative leaders in warning the White House that if the president backs away from the marriage amendment, he will lose the support and trust of social conservatives on other issues, including Social Security reform.
