Security Moms, meet the anti-draft moms. RE: CBS Reporting

They finally said it. CBS interviewed a mom who said she would vote for Howdy-Doody to keep her boys out of a draft.

How much you want to bet that the Security Moms are moms of toddlers and adolescents? No wonder they're in favor of a war. They think this is going to get over quickly if someone else's kid fights the war.

On edit: Whoops! Skinner, can you move this over to the Campaign section? Or should it be deleted?

letting us all know how dangerous will may be on Voting Day because of those terra attacks. You may have something there!

Their controlling husbands don't think women should vote.

So does that mean the hubbies will vote 4 times--once for each member of their family? Inquiring minds want to know.:evilgrin:

A lot of these gun-ho Bush moms seem to have small children. They'd rather see my kids die so theirs will be "protected". Fuck that!

I don't think ANY of our children would be safe. If the necons get their way, we'll be at war for many, many years. Shrub voting parents of toddlers need to be educated.

Iraq may look like Disney World compared to where Bush will take us next!!

My child isn't draft age, but I can still sympathize with parents of teens and young adults. I don't want to see anyone's kids drafted.

Bush isn't my daddy, he doesn't make me feel "safe," and he doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. And more than that, people who are out to enrich themselves and their cronies above all else make horrible leaders, whether they're corporate CEOs or presidents. In fact, I think Bush has set a new low for the presidency.

I don't know who the "security moms" are but I strongly believe this isn't much more than a marketing ploy. There may be some strain of truth to it, but as with all group labels and stereotypes the image doesn't reflect the reality.

So you have little kids, they won't be affected by a draft? Someone else's kid will die for yours? Think again.

When Kennedy first sent advisors to Vietnam in 61, the 18 year old who would die in Vietnam was 11. The 18 year old who would die in 73 as we finally left that war was 6 years old in 1961.

Take a look at your little boys and girls "security mom". The blowback from 4 more years of Bush will be taking your little ones off to war in desert camo in future years. They're more likely to die or be maimed in a future war than here and now by a terrorist (oh and even the latter will be more likely if Bush gets reselected). He's making the danger to all your children greater.

A proBush former friend of mine was opening up and reading some leftwing sites for a while, starting to see that the leftwing view might be at least equally valid to her own rightwing Christian view.

She's now too busy with a toddler and has reverted into following her hubby's views. I have a toddler too, and often I can be so exhausted I don't want to swim upstream anymore. If my husband were a rightwinger, I can understand how tempting it might be to shut down the dissenting pieces of your mind for the sake of smoothing over one's family life.

and don't vote against their own interests. All women are tired, but are they all supporting a nut like Bush? NO. :D

voting for * ! WTF are these people thinking.

Can anyone be that stoopid?

"Right now still leaning to Bush". Good grief.

OMG! How can anyone be that stupid?!?

go off to war and there is suddenly some threat here on our soil, that little toddlers and adolescents will be saved by Mr. All BOOTS and HAT.

About 50 or so candidates will do.

Then your kid will be safe at home in the Light (bulb) infantry brigade.

Or maybe in the select "honor guard" guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier".

but the family is relieved that he's coming home alive.

FVCK** BUSH*.










** ancient roman for those who are wondering...

* selected, not elected

a good friend both lost legs. You have no idea how much pain and hardship this creates.

wheelchair brigade protest.

(My mom has been confined to a wheelchair for about 17 years since a drunk driver hit her head on...at age 60...so I know what it is like to lose the ability to walk....)

Would like to see more like that.

Even though she said she might vote for Bush* - it seemed like the seed was planted - here is a Bush supporter thinking about changing her mind.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

have ever wondered about what Iraqi moms go through every day.

Fucking hypocrites.

Hubby keeps them in style in the suburbs, maybe there's some hired help as well? Maybe has the "choice" not to work, wants to keep everything she's got her hands on now. Why should she give a damn about other people's kids? :shrug: Her pampered little angels will never have to go in the army to get a post secondary education. :puke:

JMHO this morning.... :)

Great line from her in Pittsburgh today at Edwards Town Hall.

"I have a 5-year-old little girl who lost her dad to al-Qaida, and I don't want to lose her one day -- she's working in the city, or on mass transportation, and she gets blown up as payback for Iraq," Breitweiser said.

I have a 7- and a 14-year old.

I constantly tell people that my 14-year-old cannot yet vote, but if B*sh gets 4 more years, he could draft her.

My own (idiotic) mother said in response "Oh, I don't they'll let that happen."

WTF?

This is what we're dealing with. People hypnotized by the pro-Bush media. They're arrogant in their stupidity.

And no, I do not think my 7-year-old is safe from the draft -- not at all. I know how long the Vietnam draft lasted.

You shouldn't be able to be drafted until they have a chance to vote for the Commander and Chief.

Security moms are supposedly voting for Bush because he makes them feel safer. George Bush and his policies are now the terrorist’s best recruiter. By attacking Iraq without provocation he has opened up that country to be the world’s largest terrorist recruiting and training ground. He was going to get Osama dead or alive, now he never mentions him and says it isn’t a priority. During the build up to invading Iraq Mr. Bush and his cabinet never mentioned Iraq without mentioning 9/11. Let me repeat what George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney have all said within the past year. “Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11”. In addition he is now spouting more cowboy talk aimed at Iran saying that he isn’t going to allow them to build nuclear weapons on his watch.
George Bush’s bad decisions have cost 1,000+ servicemen’s lives already. Recruiting for the National Guard is projected to be down 60% in the next year. The Bush cabinet has already created new policies regarding re-instituting the draft. There will not be any college deferments allowed. If your child’s number comes up they would get to finish the semester and then it is off to basic training. Not like the good old days when Dick Cheney took advantage of FIVE service deferments. Will these security moms feel safe with their son’s and daughters being drafted and sent over into the hornets nest Bush has stirred up in the Middle East? I think not.

I just posted this on its own, I didn't see this one.
