Republicans Losing Support of Security Moms

In an article in today's Washington Post, it appears that Republcian Rep. Deborah Pryce and Republicans are losing the support of the "security moms." Here are some excerpts from the Post article:

Married women with children, the "security moms" whose concerns about terrorism made them an essential part of Republican victories in 2002 and 2004, are taking flight from GOP politicians this year in ways that appear likely to provide a major boost for Democrats in the midterm elections, according to polls and interviews.

This critical group of swing voters -- who are an especially significant factor in many of the most competitive suburban districts on which control of Congress will hinge -- is more inclined to vote Democratic than at any point since Sept. 11, 2001, according to data compiled for The Washington Post by the Pew Research Center.....

....she is "pretty frustrated with politics driving decisions" in Washington. That is why she said she is strongly considering abandoning her support of Republicans to vote for the Democrats challenging Rep. Deborah Pryce and Sen. Mike DeWine on Nov. 7. Polls show that both Republican incumbents from Ohio are acutely vulnerable...

Amazing. Even though the Republicans think they can continue to try to scare the living daylights out of us, people can see what is behind their scare tactics--- poor policy and no plans for leadership. This administration and the Republican Party react to events because they do not seem to have a structured plan or strategy for dealing with foreign countries or incidents. Our resources, military, money, and attention have all been wasted in Iraq while our country and its infrastructure and people suffer. It is time to get this country back on the right track.
