Bush touts "minority rights!"

[JHBowden]

From the speech today:

"After a constitution is written, the Iraqi people will have a chance to vote on it. If approved, Iraqis will go to the polls again to elect a new government under their new, permanent constitution. By taking these critical steps and meeting their deadlines, Iraqis will bind their multiethnic society together in a democracy that respects the will of the majority and protects minority rights."

The next time any Republican tells me that protecting minority rights is not important, they can look to Der Chimperor for guidance.

1. Funny, I just posted this Paul Martin quote

elsewhere regarding passing of the same-sex marriage bill:

"We're a nation of minorities, and in a nation of minorities you don't cherry-pick rights."
