1. So firefighters who vote for Kerry are "girlie men"...

The hubris that infests our current administration is staggering.

2. hmmm... something changed

the text on the Blog does not match your quote.

The text now reads:
Granted, some firefighters, even some who actually fight fires, will no doubt vote for Kerry. So will some cops. But most will vote for President Bush, and as NRO has no firefighter on the payroll I will attempt to speak for both groups in explaining why this is so. ... Unlike John Kerry, they don't find "nuance" in every question that confronts them.

Second, cops and firefighters are, if the women in the ranks will forgive the expression, Regular Guys. They drink beer, not wine, and certainly not French wine. They played football and baseball in high school, not lacrosse... Regular Guys do not blame Secret Service agents (who are Regular Guys) for knocking them down on the ski slopes, especially when those agents are there to take bullets for them. And Regular Guys relate to and prefer the company of other Regular Guys; they do not invite people like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck to their conventions. ...

You're going to see lots of those yellow t-shirts between now and election day, but don't be taken in. Like most cops, most firefighters will be voting for President Bush in November. You should be a Regular Guy and vote for him too.

4. How many of them were cheerleaders...

... in high school or in college?

If this is going to hinge on which candidate is the manly man, then Bush probably ought to take his little pom-poms and go home now.

Jeez Louise.

7. right. because what the average cop wants

is more assault weapons on the street. and the average firefighter thinks building regulations should be restricted to speed construction.

Any cop who votes republican is voting against their own long term interests, as is any firefighter (or middle/working class american, in fact)
