It is far more a GOP platform issue than a Dem. issue. So there is more than insinuation, it is fact.
For every Dem that may even mention this I can name probably 20 GOP that talk twice as much and want to make flag burning a huge issue.
It's a Red Herring the GOP know will never get through, but it will take the press coverage aand the heat from the scandals away, at least for awhile. Let's get some radical "patriots" all up in arms and pissed about flag burning and have them bitch and moan about that so people and the press will focus on that, until we can find another hotpoint to divide the people...... that way they don't focus on the scandals, on living wages, on the war, on the deficit, on the trade imbalances, on whatever.
In the end, we'll hear more about this for a week or 2 than we will about illegal immigration or liveable wages or whatever.
Politics at it's finest.
