I know exactly what is meant by 'soccer moms.' I've listened to Rush for well over a decade. And I also know the 'facts' that you refer to.

I know the voting record of women, and that women in general respond more emotionally (and that SOME vote for stupid, emotional reasons) but your presumption that having more emotional responses negates one's ability to function well intellectualy, reveals a certain level of naivte on your part. And your presumption that men DON'T respond emotionally is also naive......I see it all the time here on Fr........they're just different emotions. (There were a bunch of emotional, angry men who voted against George H.W. Bush in 1992 or stayed home, and helped elect Xlinton too, you know).

There are stupid, sexist people who want to disenfranchise women, and THAT is un-American........just as disenfranchising any group of Americans who don't vote 'wisely' would be un- American. I've seen the same argument used against blacks and Hispanics, and it is horrific, IMO. (You're the only one who knows where you really stand on that subject, but your posts have given a pretty strong signal as to where you stand).

One of the best things about being a Republican is that we look at people as individuals, and not as stereotypical parts of a group as liberals do. With your comment about "rare, intelligent, critical thinking women," it sounds like you prefer your own stereotypical grouping.

(btw, in my 53 years of living and observation of both sexes, I'd say it could be argued that those qualities are equally 'rare' in men).

Bad assumption on your part. I didn't say that, I didn't imply that.

You said what I was thinking, but a lot better than me. It was the men that got Clinton elected in the '92 election. Most of the republican women stayed the course, and voted for Bush.
