Who Will Appoint the Next Supreme Court Justice?
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 11:28 AM by Cyrano
We don't need anymore Scalia's, Thomas's, or anyone else who thinks the Salem Witch Trials were just dandy.

I keep reading in the papers about some weird new voting bloc called "security moms" that have supposedly replaced "soccer moms."

I really don't know whether this is Republican propaganda or some other distorted/demented form of wingnut reality.

How can any "mom" vote for BushCo aside from brainwashed/brain-dead life-long Republican women? Pro-choice aside, how can any rational, sane female consider Bush anything other than a threat to the future of this country and this planet? Not to mention an immediate threat to their own children in the form of a military draft?

I don't know whether to scream or go bugshit, so I guess I'll just drag my weary ass out there again and register some more new voters. Sigh.

1. I heard Russert blathering on about that "security mom" crap.
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 11:25 AM by BJ
Russert said to Katie "affable-Eva-Braun-of-the-left" Couric that "security moms", single parents in the 18-40 year old age group, lean toward Bush. (There's a pun in here somewhere but I don't think I'll go there.)

2. But Bush is anti-single parent.
How frickin stupid Americans have become. I'm sick of being lumped in with them. They are a national embarrassment.

9. It gets even better.
In this poll Russert cited, of the LVs* preferring Bush nearly 60% wanted Dim-Son to greatly change his policies in a next administration.

Why?

Because they are closer to Kerry's positions on health care, education, etc., than Bush's.

Go figure.
*likely voters

4. The next POTUS
That would be Kerry, if you're interested.

5. It is weird. Sometimes it seems like the pro-choice platform
HURTS us, even among women. There are women who are pro-choice, but at the same time there are a great number of women who are not for abortion who will vote the other way on the issue.

8. Sorry, I didn't get the memo.
Nor have I seen the final results from the Nov. election. If BushCo "really" loses, I'll defer to the "wisdom" of the American electorate. And then I'll move elsewhere.

But if BushCo steals it again, that's a different scenario. And many, many of us have to start (NOW) to answer the question, What Then?
