The part you quoted did contain that part. I didn't even click the link.
On gay marriage, I read him as giving lip service to the religious right. He has not sent a package to Congress on this, and I think he is in favor of civil unions for gays - which is basically Kerry's position as well.
I don't see the tax cuts as the radical proposition the article suggests. Tax cuts have wide support through the GOP, not just the conservative wing. And putting the politics of it aside, a rational case can be made that the tax cuts were necessary to offset the recession. I know you don't think the structure of the cuts supports this, but we've had that discussion on numerous occassions. On the war, I again don't see it as a "conservative" position. Nearly every other recent president has chosen to enter into wars when our national security was, or was believed to be, at stake. Truman and Kennedy come quickly to mind.
