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."

I noticed Fox News has yet to mention this goofy woman is the wife of Don the doofus.

They also haven’t mentioned her other incendiary remark.

That’s equivalent to saying “The democrats have nominated someone who’s primary qualification is that he is black”

What a condescending statement. The liberal media is tying themselves in knots trying to figure out how to deal when identity politics works against them.

I don’t know I think Shep has a crush on Sarah

I'm pretty sure it's Todd Palin that Shep has a crush on.

Just a note - be careful giving Greta too much credit. She likes to draw people in like this and then SMACK...all of a sudden she turns the tables.

Don’t worry.

Greta’s a big fan of Palin.

She's MARRIED? She doesn't look like the marrying type.

Is that why hilary didn’t win the dims primary, because she never had an abortion? These people celebrate killing innocent babies, defend terrorists and murderers.

How poor, words can’t desribe how low.

Worked real well, didn't it! (tee hee)

Brings to mind a line my husband used a lot--"I haven't had this much fun since the pigs ate my baby sister". I never did understand that line or why he liked it. But right now I sure am having fun!

my (probably useless) opinion - Dems in total disarray - the media is starting to turn just a bit - now is the time to hit them hard.

Meanwhile, there is cackling in Chappaqua. ;)

This is just an attempt to distract America from the lipstick pig comment.

"Mission Accomplished"

(Although why they'd want to distract from a headache by shooting themselves in the foot is a bit beyond me...)

I tried to call them. They stopped answering the phone. Poor little babies are going to have a swampload of non so nice voice mails to wade through.

Our Local newspaper, The Red Star, had a letter from a Liberal woman. It said: “How can Sarah Palin be pro-life when she kills beautiful creatures like Moose and caribou?” This is how Liberals think. Polar bears are more important than people. Sad.

I gotta admit, these DemoRat women ARE idiots. From just a standpoint of wanting a Rat victory, they should word all their comments to the effect that special needs babies are safe with them, rather than only safe when Sarah Palin stands between them and the children.

They don't even know WHEN to lie.

I think you are right, MrB.

The ones to try to justify it are far more tormented than the ones who realize how wrong they were, and grieve.

I feel for the former, and always just listen when they go into the justification/self-defense talk. I know that they are trying so hard to keep the “what-if” demons at bay.

They know I didn’t make that “justifiable convenient choice”. So, I just don’t say anything, and by not saying anything, I say everything, if you understand the complex intricacies of “woman-talk”.

The ones who truly regret usually just sob over their loss, and wish they could go back and have a do-over. They tell me about their dreams, which do not end. Again, I just listen.
