mommy party
n.— «Republicans profess to be unworried about the new wave of female candidates for what is often described, sometimes disparagingly, as the “mommy party.” (Supposedly, in the shorthand of political positioning, Democrats are more concerned with nurturing, caring and domestic policy, while the Republicans care more about security.)» —“Women Wage Key Campaigns for Democrats” by Robin Toner New York Times Mar. 24, 2006.
