Hey Southern Women . . . Is This Right?

Personally, I’m not buying it:
War turns southern women away from GOP
So Sis, Lorie, Debbie, Beth, and any of the other southern women out there, is this right?
A recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll found that three out of five Southern women surveyed said they planned to vote for a Democrat in the midterm elections.
Well?
UPDATE: That’s a no from Beth (My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy)
Speaking for me and everyone I know here, the answer is a resounding NO. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. We see how the Democrats regard our military and the war, and we love and respect our military men and women and support victory in Iraq and against Islamic extremism. Period.
and a no from Debbie (Right Truth) as well.
Sure some of us think the war in Iraq could have been done differently, but will that translate into giving up the security of our nation to the Democrats? No way in Hades! No way. That would be disaster for our country.
UPDATE II: I’ve been reading the blogs of these bright, insightful, tough, southern women writers for quite a while, so I had a pretty good idea of what their responses would be. Sister Toldjah continues the streak countering the results found in the article.

[...] Anyway, Jim Lynch wants to know if this is true about Southern women. Speaking for me and everyone I know here, the answer is a resounding NO. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. We see how the Democrats regard our military and the war, and we love and respect our military men and women and support victory in Iraq and against Islamic extremism. Period. Now I know there are exceptions, but they always were the exception. If anything, though, I notice MORE Bush (not only pro-military, but yes–pro-BUSH) support as time goes on, at least here. There are even still W and Bush-Cheney and “I Stand With President Bush” stickers on cars everywhere here (including mine!), there are still people writing letters to newspaper editors praising the President, our Senators (Sessions, Shelby), our Congressman (Jo Bonner), and especially our military. But more importantly, Southern women don’t base their opinions on the rantings of demagogues. We’re not talking-points-spewing drones, all marching in lockstep with Howard Freakin’ Dean and these other Democratic “leaders” (haha) who neither understand nor respect Southerners, either. All the silly groupthink among the left about how they’re “free thinkers” and how they think everyone to the right of them is some kind of brain-dead conformist shows that they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about–especially with regard to Southerners, particularly Southern women. It’s actually pretty funny. So I have two questions for (carpetbaggin’ New Yorker) Shannon McCaffrey, AP reporter: [...]
I saw that this morning and wondered just who they polled, because I don’t believe it for one minute. I stand strong with President Bush on the war on terror, which is the major concern for me. No way would I turn the protection of the United States of America over to the Democrats. I have no faith whatsoever in them, other than knowing that they want to cut and run. It would be a disaster.
They would allow the international community to decide how we protect ourselves, how we arrest/detain/interview/try terrorists. It would be death for America if they were in charge of our security.
I sent you a trackback, but alas TypePad is not working properly again, it is timing out, not sending trackbacks, a real pain in the rear.
No problem. I’ve put a link to your post in an update.
[...] Jim at bRight and Early wonders if I’m one of those Southern women disillusioned and therefore turning my back on the Pres. over the Iraq war. My answer? [...]
[...] JIM LYNCH ain't buying the lib talking point that the war has turned Southern women against the GOP. Once again, skeptic is a compliment, Jim. posted at 04:41 PM by Poca Dot [...]
A RESOUNDING NO! I read that this morning and wondered who the H#&L they talked to. Debbie has said it perfectly… let the Democrats take over and talk and negotiate till we get attacked again? I think not.
