Bush knew he could not win that fight. Yet he proceeded to prolong the agony and pain for this family and took this country somewhere we should not have gone. I do not want my government involved in these very personal decisions and Bush has made it clear he will involve the government. I believe his actions were nothing but politics at their worse.

This single issue needs to be made a huge issue in this election cycle. I despise him for his position on this issue.
