Angry Soccer Moms

The Soccer Mom (famously used by the Clintons) is now the Angry White Woman. I know a few. As I watched my daughters play soccer this weekend I chatted up a few Soccer Moms and realized they are now Angry White Women.

As a former Angry White Male (hmmmm, ok, maybe still somewhat angry?) who helped launch the Republican Revolution I am happy to welcome them in to the fold.

Now the Angry White Woman is not necessarily a Clinton supporter and many I have met are not. The Angry White Woman is mad at what they see as a lack of fair play. Women, I have found expect fair play and tend to play fairer than men. They see a woman who played by the rules and got “passed by and overlooked”, by the new cool kid.

This resonates with every working woman in America. Every woman in the workplace who has watched a coveted promotion go somewhere else is now identifying with Senator Clinton. Where previously they had extremely little to self identify with the Senator they are now sisters in outrage.

The media’s fawning over Barrack and their willingness to overlook one gaffe after another is only fueling their resentment. I have noticed that the female reporters were less quick to call it over for Senator Clinton than the male reporters. And quite frankly I thought the professionalism of many black male reporters was lacking. Clearly this race hit home for many people, and they found it very hard to check their feelings at the door.

I sense a very deep resentment towards the Democrat party, from my point of view this is years of special interest pandering finally coming home. The Democrats have pandered to both the women and black voting blocks with their very willing co-conspirators in the media. As I wrote back in January of this year, it is the hand grenade in the Democrat’s living room. Many women took them at their word and are now very angry at being “passed over” yet once again.

The polls suggest that McCain will benefit from this, I certainly think that McCain and his soft style of Republicanism will make it very easy for these women to vote Republican.

Don’t for one minute think the “security mom” is gone. She is still there, the Iran situation plays to McCain and the relative quiet of Iraq demonstrates the typical Democrat response of cutting and running is not always the best course.

The American populace will never trust a less than one term Senator with a background of a community activist whose Minster yells, “G*D D*mm America”. I don’t care how great an orator he is. He’s paper thin deep.

As a friend said, “I refuse to be part of a party that plays so recklessly with America’s future.”

Politics will never be the same again.

   ******

   So she’ll never vote GOP again, eh? Really, I know the right likes to stir a tempest in a teacup while ignoring the Bush administration’s screwups, but this Wright issue is just plain dead.

   Just one thing: it’s DEMOCRATIC Party, not DEMOCRAT party. Republicans like to pretend otherwise, but check out the party’s Web site.

   Finally, there are lots of women who support Obama. I’m one of them.

   Assumptions are a dangerous thing. She has never voted “GOP”, and actually has contributed a considerable amount of $, like maxed out to Democrats this past primary cycle.

   Yes, it is Democrat, not tic. Sometimes it slips through and the spell checker does not flag it.

   Funny how Obama who is the “change” candidate is spending a lot of his time running to the past. Running against Bush who is not running and running as JFK who has been dead for decades.

   Yes there are lots of women supporting Obama, never said there was not. I was observing a political movement and I stand by it.

   The Wright issue is not dead, because the Rev likes the spotlight.
