Soccer Dads: The Most Likely White, Male Backers (of Obama)
New York Times ^ | May 16, 2012 | Mark Penn

Posted on 05/16/2012 12:23:08 PM PDT by JOHN ADAMS

bored at work, I decided to wander over to the New York Times website to see how they're viewing the world today, insofar as one can see that from looking at things on their website accessible for free, as I (obviously) refuse to give them any of my money. I happened across this ridiculosity, which I post here for the amusement of my fellow freepers. It's one of a series of essays about what Obama can do to improve his vote-getting ability. My favorite paragraph:

Older, rural, white men, especially in the South, are probably out of reach for the president because race is likely a factor with them. So he has to focus on better educated, more tolerant, moderately upscale suburban men – Soccer Dads. Both men and women find Obama equally likeable but they dramatically split on whether he shares their values, according to a recent CNN/ORC International poll.

but by all means read the whole thing (though wait til after you've fully digested your lunch).

Nothing like a leftist telling other leftists why they're just better, smarter people than the people who disagree with them, coupled with the smug certainty that all people who really are good really do believe what they believe. Or something like that.

When the time comes to identify the useless eaters among the population, the NYT subscriber list would be a handy guide.

LOL. Bathhouse Barry lost the soccer moms with his homo love fest. Being a misogynist he didn’t realize that the institution of marriage is a pretty big deal with married women. Messing with 1,000’s of years of marriage tradition and calling everyone who disagrees with you a bigot is a sure loser.

As a long time youth soccer coach and Dad, I wouldn’t let Obama anywhere near an unsupervised group of six year old boys.

The man is a phony, and the NYT a fish rag.

If race were a factor with them, then Obama wouldn't have won in 2008.

Hey, I think you summed up the liberal self congratulation cult pretty well.

Yeah, those educated “Soccer dads” don’t see race at all do they? I’ve got several as friends and trust me, they see it. Some as a “plus” (that “unity” bs from 2008) and others as a negative. So this stereotypical biased notion that only “rural, Southern, older” nonsense is just that.

BTW my liberal friends are “angry, white males” They bitch to High Heaven about Republicans/Conservatives, etc. but run for the hills to the safety of the R/C neighborhoods and send their kids to those conservative schools or to parochial ones. Hypocrites, you bet.

Is there some surprise here?

Soccer is the “sport” of the metro-sexual.

translation: p____whipped suburban husbands whose feminist careerist wives have kowtowed them into both driving the kids to nightly soccer practice AND voting for Democrats.

I chuckle when anyone suggests that conservatives don’t support 0bama because he’s black.

Like we’d support his Marxist policies if he were white,
or wouldn’t support Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, or Clarence Thomas because they’re black.

The thing is ... I don’t think they mean “metrosexuals”. Metrosexuals are urban girly-men. They already have the urban metrosexual vote.

They seem to think they actually have a shot getting votes of white SUBURBAN men. Regular educated middle-class Joes in the suburbs, with wives at home, kids in school, and a white collar job.

They’re deluding themselves. Not a lot of Obama voters in Katy, TX. Not a lot of metrosexuals there either.

When people think, they pick Romney.

When people feel, they pick Obama.

I hope Romney picks a veep that is actually, moderately well liked.
