In a time of national anxiety, women voters are again turning to Republicans to protect the country.
Suddenly, it feels like 2002. Democrats got creamed in midterm elections that year because the women voters they had relied on throughout the Clinton years deserted them. In 2000, women favored Democratic congressional candidates by nine points. In 2002, that advantage disappeared entirely. The biggest reason: 9/11. In polls that year, according to Gallup, women consistently expressed more fear of terrorism that men. And that fear pushed them toward the GOP, which they trusted far more to keep the nation safe. As then-Senator Joe Biden declared after his party’s midterm shellacking, “soccer moms are security moms now.”
Unfortunately for President Obama, the security moms are back. And as a result, the levee Democrats were counting on to protect against a GOP hurricane is starting to crumble.
Although today’s terrorism scare doesn’t rival the aftermath of 9/11, the parallels to 2002 are striking nonetheless. As a result of the ISIS beheadings, the percentage of Americans “very worried” about terrorism has just hit a seven-year high. Once again, women are more afraid than men. According to a CNN poll last week, women are 18 points more likely to say they are “very” or “somewhat” worried that someone in their family will be the victim of terrorism. According to Pew, they are six points more likely to call terrorism “very important” to their vote this fall. In a recent piece about “Walmart moms” who participated in focus groups in Des Moines and Little Rock, my colleague Molly Ball noticed the trend: “The women in both groups expressed pervasive worry about violence .… This emphasis on security was a departure from previous groups, many of which I've covered in the past few years...

Unfortunately for Democrats, not all women just want abortions.
What about the 40% who don’t have fathers for their kids? They too want security, but they seek it from their Uncle Sam.
We need elections decided by soccer-ity moms.
Soros counts the votes. I suspect strongly that the Exit Polls will be at strong variance with the announced election results, in Novembers 2014 and 2016.
It’s not only international security. With the recent Missouri riots, I said to a friend that domestic riots scare women too, and that the riot strategy would backfire on Dems.
“When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride/he shouts to scare the monster/who will often turn aside./ But the she-bear thus accosted/rends the peasant tooth and nail/for the female of the species is more deadly than the male....’’
Unfortunately for the country, these “women” never actually catch on that Democrats are baby-murdering Satanists. They haven’t caught on that “Obama” is a Muslim terrorist. They’re just a little doubtful about Democrats for the season.
With 98% of the media, film-makers, musicians, novelists, television personnel, teachers, commentators and etc. on the Democrats’ side, how could they?
“Security Moms” are too late.
Their children will soon return from gov’t schools with TB, Scabies and God knows what else.
How secure will they feel when they realize the dems have waged biological warfare against them already?
