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 called. Was very soft spoken and calm. Don’t ask me how!!!

Asked the woman who answered to explain how many abortions did one have to have in order to meet the qualifications to be vice president.

Fowler is no lady. She is an insult to those of us that try to be.

I think it is safe to assume Carol Fowler has taken at least one innocent life herself and so feels compelled to rid herself of guilt by deriding S. Palin for not following her example.

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

I think it's fascinating that Obama pulls around 85% or more of the black vote. Yet when the subject turns to women, Democrats are puzzled as to why anyone would think that women would be excited or drawn to a female candidate.

At least, they act puzzled. In reality, this isn't even whistling past the graveyard. It's desperation.

Ol’ Donny and Carol Fowler thought they had it made after the Dem convention.

One wonders if he’s laughing at McCain’s VP pick now. Suck it you old gasbag.

It’s getting sooo bad for Obama that his supporters must have a severe case of buyers remorse.

You can put lipstick on a leftwing feminazi kook, but she’s still a leftwing feminazi kook.

They are going to piss off a LOT of people with this comment

I was afraid Palin was announced so early that they would get over it and then we would be back to the liberal press fawning over Obamarama and his Baby Mama

But they are absolutley losing their minds over her!!

WATCH CLOSELY REPUBLICAN RINO’S ON HOW YOU WIN AN ELECTION

REAGAN DID IT THE SAME WAY!

NEWT GINGRICH WON US CONGRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS THE SAME WAY!

AND YOU RINO’S BLEW IT BY “REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE”

IT WAS MORE LIKE A REACH AROUND BECAUSE YOU WERE GETTING SCREWED AT THE SAME TIME
