S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion
politico ^

Posted on 09/10/2008 12:30:28 PM PDT by flyfree

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate " whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.

Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.

“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said.

Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."

That's his wife: "Don Fowler, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Wednesday endorsed U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York for president in 2008. Fowler is the husband of Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the S.C. Democratic Party." http://thestatecom.typepad.com/ygatoday/2007/12/don-fowler-endo.html

Can this be emailed to Hannity? He is on air right now. Was this mentioned on Politico or Drudge?

Even though Obama didn’t make this gaffe, I think this is a better story for Republicans than “lipstick on a pig.”

Oh Shep seems to be an Obama man. But Greta has done some wonderful shows on Sarah. I was never a big fan of Greata but what she has been doing with her segments on Sarah seems to have brought out her real personality. She likes Sarah.

The wraps are coming off, the loathing leftist liberals will completely expose themselves as who they are in trying to destroy Palin.

Hurricane Sarah is causing the Socialist-Democratic party to blow themselves to smithereens.

I happen to know a few women who have had abortions, much to their sorrow and regret. They will be totally offended by this disgusting statement.

Carol Fowler - the chair of the South Carolina Democrats - is the wife of Don Fowler, who is the former chair of the South Carolina Democrats and also the former national chair (second in command) of the DNC under Chris Dodd.

His son, Donnie Fowler, ran against Howard Dean for general chair of the DNC and lost.

It's interesting how this white family - of no particular personal appeal or talent - has dominated the South Carolina Democrats for over twenty years. Especially when only one in five Democrat voters in SC is white.

This is the Change that Obama wants to bring.... Democrats are not the champions of Womens rights nor the champion of minority rights.

Still waiting for the ad where they play Palin’s statement in full support of her daughter and future son-in-law,

followed by 0bama’s “punished with a baby” speech.

Look real hard at this total meltdown folks...this is what an Obama administration will look like.

Who is in charge? Obama? He touts his NINETEEN MONTHS of campaigning as relevant experience for the job of president?

Looks to me like he couldn’t pour pi*S out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

Oh he sure is—and he’s DESPERATE to let Obama’s people know they are NOT helping their—his—candidate with comments like Fowler’s. And it is so much fun to watch!

First Don Fowler prays for a Hurricane to hit New Orleans

Now Mrs. Fowler the gift that keeps on giving. No wonder no Democrats can get into Office in South Carolina.
