Gays are this election's cudgel, columnist says
Newsday's Marie Cocco writes, "The nation is at war. The budget deficit has hit a record. The national debt climbs. The dollar slumps. Millions have lost jobs in economic doldrums that are not called recession. The manufacturing states suffer something more akin to depression. So naturally the president wants to talk about gays. And why not? With real-life military men like Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and Gen. Wesley Clark contending for the Democratic presidential nomination, flag-waving is an insufficient diversion for Republicans seeking to depict their political opponents as un-American. So gays it is."
