Sigh.... I have been trying to make the same point since I joined Free Republic. I think it is hopeless. People have too much fun ridiculing and making fun of people to let the facts get in the way. Thanks for trying though.
I have no clue where the bad rap on soccer moms started. It is wrong.
One last point: I am an Olympic Development coach (U-16 Boys). I never, never talk politics. But, I hear the moms. Not once have I heard them talk about supporting Clinton, Gore, Dashole. I have heard them supporting Bush.
We coaches from different age groups have a brew quite often. They agree and wonder where this started.
