What a bunch of crap!

War turns southern women away from GOP

MACON, Ga. -
President Bush’s once-solid relationship with Southern women is on the rocks. “I think history will show him to be the worst president since Ulysses S. Grant,” said Barbara Knight, a self-described Republican since birth and the mother of three. “He’s been an embarrassment.” In the heart of Dixie, comparisons to Grant, a symbol of the Union, is the worst sort of insult, especially from a Macon woman who voted for Bush in 2000 but turned away in 2004.

Oh. please. If you read further on in the article, you’ll see this woman never supported the war in Iraq anyway. And look at this laugher:

Voters like Knight could prove to be spoilers. The 66-year-old real estate agent doesn’t particularly like Marshall, a hawkish Democrat and former Army Ranger, but she said she’ll vote for him because she likes his conservative Republican opponent, former Rep. Mac Collins, even less.

“I’m going to go for the moderate, and these days that tends to be Democrats,” Knight said.

Heh. Well, it is the South. Our Democrats ARE usually more like northeastern “Republicans,” after all. But saying Democrats as a whole are “moderate” is hilarious! Miss Barbara, you’d better think about who else you’re electing, as in to the Congressional majority. Your “hawkish Democrat and former Army Ranger” would be under a quite different party leadership if elected. (Maybe that’s the kind of “moderate” she likes, though.)

Anyway, Jim Lynch wants to know if this is true about Southern women. Speaking for me and everyone I know here, the answer is a resounding NO. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. We see how the Democrats regard our military and the war, and we love and respect our military men and women and support victory in Iraq and against Islamic extremism. Period. Now I know there are exceptions, but they always were the exception. If anything, though, I notice MORE Bush (not only pro-military, but yes–pro-BUSH) support as time goes on, at least here. There are even still W and Bush-Cheney and “I Stand With President Bush” stickers on cars everywhere here (including mine!), there are still people writing letters to newspaper editors praising the President, our Senators (Sessions, Shelby), our Congressman (Jo Bonner), and especially our military.

But more importantly, Southern women don’t base their opinions on the rantings of demagogues. We’re not talking-points-spewing drones, all marching in lockstep with Howard Freakin’ Dean and these other Democratic “leaders” (haha) who neither understand nor respect Southerners, either. All the silly groupthink among the left about how they’re “free thinkers” and how they think everyone to the right of them is some kind of brain-dead conformist shows that they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about–especially with regard to Southerners, particularly Southern women. It’s actually pretty funny.

So I have two questions for (carpetbaggin’ New Yorker) Shannon McCaffrey, AP reporter:

1. Do you only know liberal Southern women? (”No one I know voted for Nixon!”)
2. Where the hell does AP get off calling this fallacious propaganda piece “reporting?”
