Why the gay marriage issue helps Bush

Just as Bush-41 never really focused on crime as his core issue, but won the election by using the lifer furlough policies that sprung Willie Horton from prison for a disastrous weekend, so Bush-43 has discovered in gay marriage a potentially winning issue. While opinions are evolving on this question, most polls still indicate solid majorities opposed to same-sex marriages. Though I personally favor them, voters see gay marriage as an attempt by the homosexual community to spread its lifestyle, and they side with President George W. Bush in opposing same-sex unions.
