SOCCCER MOMS, WAKE UP TO THE FACTS

Let's see. Dick Cheney compares our mission in Iraq to the American democracy experiment. Hm. Dick says it took from 1776 to 1789 (i.e., 13 years) for the U.S.A. to win independence and establish an acceptable constitution, so we shouldn't be impatient about our adventure-in-democratic-nation-building in Iraq.

"Soccer moms" (among other women) are now flocking to Bush in droves, women trusting Bush over Kerry 48-to-43 to protect their children from terrorist attacks. In general, a NY Times poll shows voters trust Bush over Kerry 50-to-26 to protect the nation from another terrorist attack.

Over the course of the next 13 years, every one of those soccer moms so anxious about their child's safety will have to face that child's eligibility for a military draft (isn't it inevitable if Bush is pRe-elected?).

Moms, better face the fact that if your child has an exponentially better chance of being killed in one of Bush's neocon-inspired fantasy wars than in a terrorist attack.

UPDATE: Corrente has more.
