Campaign 2008

It's Not All in the Family for Some DNC Rules Committee Members

Don and Carole Fowler are married but are on different sides of this debate. One supports Clinton, the other Obama

Posted May 30, 2008

Don: I agree with Carol, I just don't want to make a speculation about her. It's curious, and people are interested in talking about it. But to talk about it in a way that is substantive...it's purely speculation.

How often do the two of you disagree on politics?
Carol: We are always together in November, and we frequently are together in the primaries. We frequently vote for the same candidate, but not always, but in general elections we always vote the same way. We argue much more about rules.

Don: I think we disagree about some things other than nitty-gritty details, but we are both Democrats and we don't have disputes about that and we are always together November and we both believe in Santa Claus.

So will U.S. News be able to talk to you again after this hullabaloo in Washington is over?
Don: We're happy to talk to you after this weekend.

Carol: If we're still married.

Don: If you know any divorce lawyers in Washington, tell them to be on alert Saturday.

JUST WHOS VOTE WILL BE COUNTED

DNC

WHO STOLE WHAT ELECTION WHAT A JOKE

And this is different from Bush, how???

Over the past seven and a half years we have heard the Dems preach, prattle on, and pounce upon President Bush every time he has tried to go against the law or work around the law to get things done. Now we have the Dems doing exactly the same thing - changing the rules because the result didn't turn out right. Forget the disenfranchisement argument - everybody knew what the outcome was going to be because of the hard headed leaders in Florida and Michigan. There was absolutly no surprise here. But to change the rules in mdostream to suit their own purposes shows that the Dems are no better - probably worse - at being unable to fo9llow the law. If they can't do this right, what gives me great confidence either of the candidates will follow the rule of law when elected?

I might have to agree with Louie of Michigan.
