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).

There are one whale of a lot of these “Soccer Dads” that lost their jobs and remain unemployed thanks to Dear Leader, Barry Soetoro. Pray tell, NYT, why would they want to vote for this loser?

You forgot that he is also a gay, dog-eating, bully.

That is a good way to describe it. There was a guy in my neighborhood in the Seattle area that drove a green Lesbaru with a personalized license plate that said “FREEPER”. He had a ton of stickers on the back of that thing. I thought it best not to get to know him.

“he didn’t realize that the institution of marriage is a pretty big deal with married women......”

I’ve posted here recently that I have a gut feeling that the gay marriage issue is important to gays (who are much more lilky to be gay men) because of a mysogynistic attitude in the gay community. This group of men is the most likely to come out with the b*&$# word and WH$@* word, and other anit-female terminology that normal, heterosexual men.

RE: the other issue - most normal little girls go through a time in childhood when they love the idea of a Prince Charming. That is why the Disney movies about Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, etc.., are so highly popular with that set of children. These so-called fairy tales always end up with a wedding, and “they all lived happily ever after!”

I have no doubt that radical leftists will eventually denounce the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson for “brain washing our little girls into some sort of percieved slave mentality”. They will not succeed, however. Homosexuality is indeed against natural law.

I’ve seen Priuses...

My wife has one sticker on her Prius..."AppMom" (Appalachian State).

But we paid for that privilege (and paid, and paid, and paid...).

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

I don't know about metrosexuals, but there's probably quite a few Obama voters there. Katy has perhaps the most leftist school district in the state. It also has a Soviet star on its water tower :)

You know that the pictured gesture is equivalent to a gay bar pickup line.

Perhaps it's time to consider a rematch of the “War of Northern Aggression”...

"So he has to focus on better educated, more tolerant, moderately upscale suburban men – Soccer Dads."

All of them slightly wealthy each month with cash flow from the government debt regime. Have fun. Enjoy the slide caused by "professional" bureaucrats and services dependent mostly on government-supported customers.

Funny story: My wife drives a Black 2005 Prius. We love it, it really is a great car, and since we drive a lot, it’s saved us a ton of gas money of the last seven years.

Anyhow, we got it in the fall of 2004, during Bush’s re-election. Of course we put our W’04 sticker on it.

One day while driving here in Southern California we pulled up next to another Black Prius...with a W’04 sticker on it. We all had a good laugh.

What are the odds of two Prius’s being driven by Bush supporters in SoCal?

As an ORWM from Tennessee, I do not have to vote. I know my state will go for Romney. I plan to spend the day traveling in a swing state dressed as a homeless man and voting in every precinct I get invited into. I hope to vote hundreds of times for Romney.

I am starting to grow my beard now and will not bathe for two months. No voter ID necessary!

Who will join me?

"Prius"

Ha, ha, the wife and were coming up on a Prius last weekend. I had been making jokes about Priuses (and Subarus) having lib bumper stickers, but this Prius did not have one lib decal on it. My wife razzed me for making unwanted stereotypes about Prius owners. A short time late we came up on another Prius. This one was plastered with lib decals. My question is: what percentage of Priuses are decorated with lib propaganda? I know a lot of Subarus I've seen are. The actual numbers would be interesting.

Maybe that explains my not seeing a decal on the Priuses I see without stickers. They might be driven by conservatives. I guess I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. It’s just that I’ve seen so many Priuses and Subarus plastered with stickers....99% of the time leftist-oriented.

Yes, 99% of Prius drivers are lefties.

We are the 1%.
