#1 That's what happens to us soccer moms when someone threatens our kids. Grrr!

#2 A choice article from Naomi Wolf about how Kerry's losing the women's vote. Exceprt:

Listen to what the Republicans are hitting Kerry with: Indecisive. Effete. French. They are all but calling this tall, accomplished war hero gay.


The charges are sticking because of Teresa Heinz Kerry. Let’s start with “Heinz.” By retaining her dead husband’s name—there is no genteel way to put this—she is publicly, subliminally cuckolding Kerry with the power of another man—a dead Republican man, at that. Add to that the fact that her first husband was (as she is herself now) vastly more wealthy than her second husband. Throw into all of this her penchant for black, a color that no woman wears in the heartland, and you have a recipe for just what Kerry is struggling with now: charges of elitism, unstable family relationships, and an unmanned candidate.

#3 Naomi is full of sh*t. I am no fan of Teresa, but using Naomi's logic, a widow who honors her first (dead) husband and her second (alive) husband by holding both names dear is cuckolding. Phooey.

I think this about sums it up regarding the female vote tending towards Bush:

...But Linda DiVall, a GOP pollster and expert on women voters, thinks all that pales in comparison to Bush's core appeal: "More than anything, voters see a moral clarity with Bush, a man of conviction."

#4 Naomi Wolf doesn't understand it.

Effeminate does not mean gay.

Hanging around the wife for 10 years one sees what she reacts to in other men.

It looks like to me, a woman subconsciously is thinking, if I were married to this guy and we were at home, and the house were broken into...

1) GWB would hide the wife and kids in a safe place, grab the shotgun, and give the burgular a nasty surprise.

2) Kerry would hide with the wife and kids, tremble, and hope not to be discovered.

If I am wrong ladies, lay it on me.

#5 all those points are well and good, but he's also living the high life off the "Stepmoney's" money, inherited after the untimely death of a husband (John Heinz - R-PA) who would oppose everything JF'nK stands for. He's an invertebrate leech

#6 Agree w Frank. As Ann Coulter put it after listening to Thurston and Lovie's nauseating convention speeches: Two sponges on another man's money should be more careful about using the word "earn" so much....

#7 BidEd-I like your explanations (although hopefully the wife and elder kids in the safe place are also trained in firearms, in case of necessity).

#8 You should hear my wife - demographically the classic Soccer Mom - she's more bloodthirsty toward these Islamonazis that I am. And that's saying something.

#9 jules - Point well taken, but I was giving an illustrative point about the character of the two men...

Xblanke - Mine too. Especially after Breslan...
(She is originally from Russia)

#10 "Security Moms" my ass.

You don't have to have kids to be concerned about security. Both the country's and personal.

So, along with my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson, I'm paying attention.

I'd suggest others do the same.

#11 True, BS, but when you have kids the priorities change radically. It's an evolutionary thing. No animal more vicious than a mama bear sensing her cub's in danger.

The Kooky Kerry Kampaign is too clueless to get it, but any parent, no matter how liberal, who heard the reports of terrorist bastards stringing bombs in a school gym, raping the kids and forcing them to drink their urine, and then shooting fleeing children in the back, had one overriding response: pursue these f***ers ruthlessly and destroy them utterly.

#12 They were comparing Gorebot's pull w/the ladies w/skerry's pull at the same time in the election. Gore was 11 points up on W and skerry is only 3 IIRC wrt women voters. However, more men are way ahead for W vs. skerry then on gore-ron.

I tend to scratch my head on why women liked gore so much - I always thought the guy was such a wuss.
