What's with these so-called "Security Moms"?
Does anyone buy this this supposed phenomenon? I don't have cable or satellite, so all I get is the network junk. Are there any legitimate polls showing Bush even with Kerry in the female vote?

1. Rovian propaganda. In other words, just plain cow manure.

4. Another phrase for stepford wives
many have hubbys that earn good money and they stay at home with their heads, well you know where. They have theirs so they say screw you to the rest of the world, they don't wake up until after the hubby runs off with the mistress.

10. That's not fair
I'm considered a "Security Mom" and this Mom is voting for Kerry without hesitation and I have my head firmly attached and not up...well you know where! :spank:

17. Sorry, I don't consider someone who is not fearfully voting for *
a security mom, I guess it is my own distinction.

I'm a stay at home mom and I would never consider myself a Security Mom. To me a security mom is a women who stays at home with her kids and feels that bush is somehow making the world a safer place.

5. Some of the polls are showing that Kerry is not getting the
lead that Gore got with women. We need a large gender gap to win this election.

9. The dumbest part of this
is that idiot Bush women are lining up and saying, "Yes! I'm a security Mom!" It's pathetic, especially due to the fact that Bush has no clue how to keep the country secure.

Not to mention EVERYBODY wants security, it's human nature.

18. It's crap. Just like NASCAR dads, who are pro bush lovers
who hate liberals just because... like security mom's. Next week it'll be Godly Grandparents.

Can Kerry win them over?

19. Check out this site - and have a barf bag ready
www.moms4bush.com

The founder's name is Nancy Kennon, BTW. She lives in Westchester County, NY, and to me she comes across in this intro as a selfish, pampered, spoiled, suburban country club bitch.

I found out about all this from the article:

21. Gore had an 11% lead over Bush with women....
and polls lately show Kerry hasn't gotten similar numbers.

The ones that are on Kerry's side see fundamentally through Bush's BS and/or see no positive aspect in the war.

But then there's all these soccer mom's that went out and bought the $1.50 magnetic ribbons for their SUVs and thought it cool to act like they were behind the troops. The biggest poll number shifts are in the married middle class/upper middle class range where the "it's better to fight them over there than over here" and "kick ass" mentality has taken root.

Kerry key counters:

1. The lesson of 911 - was that terrorists can attack and cause massive damage using low tech weapons and with small groups of people. Our real emminent threat IS NOT countries, but our careless attitude about securing ourselves from these same random elements that could be here already and who can work right under our unsuspecting noses.

2. Our resources are essentially being squandered in Iraq, when they could be used here at home with much greater payoff.

3. Kerry will build a multinational/Iraqi anti-terrorist police force in Iraq as soon as possible, then go on as quickly as possible to the REAL problem, which is homeland security.
