SC Dem Chair: Palin's Chief Req for Job Is She Hasn't Had an Abortion

I've never voted a straight Republican ticket, but the more the Democrats open their mouths, the more likely that scenario becomes.

Fowler's comments are no more or less offensive than the crap coming out of the McCain/Rove campaign on a daily basis. If the McCain camp wants to put a fake "sexism" card, then the Democrats should joyfully start playing a real "sexism" card with McCain's positions on issues effecting women.

We don't even need to get into his personal views, comments, insults or jokes about women. Let's talk about his ducking a vote on "equal pay for equal work." Let's highlight his opposition to the expanding the SCHIP Program to include parents. Let's talk about how a single mom with an average income spends about 40% of it on child care. Let's talk about not only his opposition to abortion rights but also to family planning.

Because Palin has been shielded from the media and non-softball questions, Fowler and the rest of us are forced to make assumptions on why she was selected.
She's requested and received more earmark dollars per capita...so she wasn't chosen for her hatred for earmarks.
She left the City of Wasilla in $20+ Million dollars in debt due to a sports complex that was illegally built...so she wasn't chosen for fiscal responsibility.
She's been Governor of Alaska for less than 2 years...so she wasn't chosen for experience.
So all we are left with
A). Extreme religious beliefs (if it was God's Will that we are in Iraq, it was God's Will to have a hurricane during the RNC)
B). Civil liberties antagonist (book banning, anti-choice, abstinence only and creationism education)
C). Personal struggles and abuses of power
D). Sex appeal

Persoanlly, I think McCain chose Palin based on looks, because the rest of her scares the crap out of me.

Again, comments like this reaffirms the liberal left is so out-of-touch with human respect and the laws of decency. They are beyond "trailer trash"!

Mao Tse-Tung was a community organizer, very ambitious too

When this woman says to all you with a special needs children, be assured you will have a friend in white house. She's in effect saying this present administration and past leaders both republican and democrats does not care about special need children’s of this country until she shows up suddenly. She is hiding under special need child to portray holier on that respect. She’s pandering using all means to get notice at all cost, even by her special need child, what a spectacles?

Now that Palin is the RNC VP nominee, DEM Chair Fowler can find much more info online on Palin.
On the pro-life issues: when Palin ran for Governor of Alaska she was asked,
Q: If states could once again prohibit abortion, in your view, to what extent should abortion be prohibited in Alaska?
Palin: "it would not be up to the governor to unilaterally ban anything. It would be up to the people of Alaska to discuss and decide how we would like our society to reflect our values."

Q: Do you support or oppose the use of public funds for abortion (e.g., paying for abortion, promoting abortion, subsidizing organizations that provide or refer for abortion)?
Palin: "I oppose the use of public funds for elective abortions".

It appears that by wishing ill will on the Republican Party and their convention last week in the form of Hurricane Gustav, former Democratic Party Chairman Don Fowler is now having to witness his "curse having come home to roost" with the recent meltdown of the Democratic Party

His wife, Carol,now being the latest victim of that occurence.

Does Sarah Palin think she is above the American people?

14 days and she has not answered a single question.

Grill Palin NOW!

[Left wing democrats have such caring hearts.

Call their female opponent a pig.]

This is NOT true but it is what the GOP wants you to believe.

[We as Americans have the right to have our own opinion... But we don't have the right to force those opinions onto others... We all have choices]

Palin & McCain want to curtail women's choices.

[Women's Choice is an issue. Everyone must respect the rights of others to make their own choices. Roe - Wade should not be overturned.]

Palin wants Roe v. Wade overturned and almost all abortions outlawed.

Fowler is absolutely correct. McCain had to appease Mullah Dobson and that's why he picked Palin.

Left wing democrats have such caring hearts.

Call their female opponent a pig.
Say she should have killed her special needs child.
Obama voted 3 times to kill the Protect the Born Infants act.

Regagan Democrats, what are you doing hanging around these people?

Women's Choice is an issue. Everyone must respect the rights of others to make their own choices. Roe - Wade should not be overturned.

I also have major concern about the sex education aspect as well. As a medical professional I feel all aspects need to be taught. Protecting the health and welfare of all is always foremost. I would never want to feel I gave someone a "death sentence" because of any personal belief I had. And I do say "death sentence" strongly. Abstinence only sex education will indeed be giving a "death sentence" to people. No arguments can change this bottom line strong fact. If you are religious I would think you too would want to do all to protect the young people. If not, then you must live with this reality.

Comments made by Democrat Chair were a little strong. But comments do ring true. I can see after my research that Sarah Palin will not support women rights.

I have also seen many of Sarah Palin's views and stances lack scientific basis and appear to be very outdated way of thinking. Environmental issues are not good at all. Saw she wanted no regulation over toxic substance/pollution drainage from mines draining into salmon streams. And toxic substances go right into food chain. 10-30 years later people get ill, or die. She is asking for another Five Mile Island or Erin Brokevich -both horribly sad. Palin is actually worst than Bush.

List goes on - sadly. My excitement turned to disappointment when I checked all. I found she lied. She did not clean up corrupt politics in Alaska - FBI was doing long before she took office. She never started any of it, and State of Alaska is not doing any of investigation. FBI only did. Government there was been walking on egg shells since 2004. Sarah took office Nov, 2006. Sarah only rode the wave-no work or confronting the "good ole boys". She does take claim though. Go google Alaska Political Corruption -

She is under investigation at present for ethics violation as Governor. Appears major problem pressuring police to fire her brother in-law, and then firing police commissioner because he was not fired. Saw agency/government documents and all looks quite suspicious. Heard audio tape that is evidence against her. My concern is if cover-up will occur now.

Lots more- just not going to address all

Sarah Palin is just too far to right.

No one is discussing the issues but Obama. Palin still has not returned the federal taxpayers money. I still want a federal investigation as to where the money for the bridge to nowhere went. How can you yell 'EARMARKS, EARMARKS!' and then vote for the one who took the money and ran. DUGH!

Thankfully this woman apologized and tried to clarify, but it's too late. Some people should really think more before they open their mouths.

It is a disgusting comment...

But what is it with McCain and the desperate desire to rack up apologies?

When that Republican congressman from Georgia called Obama "uppity" last week... Obama never insisted that McCain apologize.

McCain has a whining problem. And the media has a problem for suggesting this has anything to do with Obama, or the Democratic Party as a whole.

She's wrong about only white Republican women supporting Palin. Over fifty here, could care less about reproductive rights anymore, Hillary supporter. What Obama and his supporters and the media did to her makes me wish I could vote more than once for McCain/Palin. Oh...I can do that by just campaigning for them. McCain/Palin'08 Hillary 2012.

We are tired of being manipulated by Roe v Wade. When will women wake up and realize both parties have been using this as a way to control our vote. For that reason it will never be repealed.
If we really want to promote womens rights we need to support all women. Sarah Palin has not forced her religious beliefs on anyone. Obama, however has exhibited sexism throughout his campaign. As a Hillary Clinton volunteer, I was horrified by what I saw the Obama campaign and democrats do to her. I will not stand by and allow the same thing to happen to another woman. As Hillary stated; womens rights are human rights. Without human rights, there is no true democracy, and therefore empowering women trumps any political platform, right or left. We need to put aside our political beliefs this election and work to get a woman in office in order to promote ALL women's issues. Only then will women attain equality and true democracy be possible.
