You noticed that too? LOL
The more they attack Sarah and Rep. Bachmann, the more fed up I get...and the more fed up I get, the less tolerant I get of the circular firing squad within the GOP. I’ve never identified with someone more in the national political spotlight than those two ladies (w/the exception of POTUS #40). I’m not what you would call aggressive, but when you attack those ladies (or anyone else in their like minds), my ‘Mama Grizzly’ comes out. As Abigail Adams said in a famous letter to her husband John, ‘remember the ladies.’ Right now they seem to be displaying the testosterone that is sorely needed in our country.
I have noticed the media aren’t talking about ‘soccer moms’ anymore. I think that’s because most soccer moms are Tea Party Moms now, and it doesn’t fit the media ‘storyline’ anymore, which was supposed to be: Moms care about social issues + Scary Republicans cut education = Democrats win votes.
Now it’s more about ‘working families with union ties’ or somesuch nonsense.
I don’t think the media are capable of separating their agenda from their eyes (for lack of a better way to phrase it). They don’t LIKE what they’re seeing, so they don’t really SEE what they’re seeing.
I think the liberals and Obama’s organization which stoked the Wisconsin situation thought they could convince people this was about ‘cutting education for The Children,’ but it rapidly devolved into an open grab for money and benefits by the same people who’ve been telling us we can’t sustain this level of spending anymore.
People may not be able to articulate this to a phone pollster, but they know that while the left may say the ‘correct’ things, the women aren’t buying it. I don’t see how the left is going to rally women’s votes next time around, which means they’ll have to gin up some phoney ‘choice’ or education issues. I don’t think that’s going to work; Obama promised a lot in terms of moderation and in terms of some social issues even a more mainstream bent, and delivered on none of it—or, to be plain, he lied, and women saw they were played.
