Senator Greene: Carol & Don Fowler's chickens come home to roost on national teevee.

[Are_grits_groceries]

I didn't vote for Greene, but this is what they get for turning the SC Dem party into a cozy little nest for themselves. They rarely bestir themselves to actually function as true leaders.

This could have been an anti-Fowler vote. I despise them completely.

Don Fowler was the idiot who did this:
"ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler apologized on Sunday for joking in a private conversation that the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats."

Carol Fowler is the idiot who did this:
On Wednesday, South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler told a reporter for the website Politico that Sen. John McCain chose a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion."

Don't be so sure it was the Diebold machines. The majority of the voters know as much about Greene as they do about Rawl. They left themselves wide open to this again when they put a perfunctory effort into this election. They know it's an open primary. I have yet to see a major effort by them to help the Dem cadidate for governor, Vince Sheheen. He is a good candidate and the last hope to save us from Nikki Haley.

After the Joe 'you lie' Wilson shout out incident at the SOTU, Rob Miller got a huge fundraising push. I didn't hear a peep from them except for one small email weeks later. He has done most of the work himself.

When Linda Ketner, an out lesbian, came within a whisker of beating the white, male incumbent they were MIA. She used her own money and almost made it. The DCCC and Rahm or whoever got on at the very last minute when they decided she might have a chance. I wish she was running again. As counterintuitive as it was for her to be even close, she was a good candidate who people in the district knew. The lesbian part was not a major issue that was shouted about.

In 2008, this is the lunatic who won the Dem primary:
Bob Conley:
“Bob Conley is not publicly endorsing Obama. That’s his personal business, he said, adding that his dream ticket would be led by Pat Buchanan, with Ron Paul as vice president…”

****Conley's candidacy is an example of what happens when a party doesn't have a viable candidate, College of Charleston political scientist Bill Moore said. In this case, voters picked someone lacking Democratic credentials and the money to put on a credible race.****

They have let the party atrophy so much that they have ruined it. It's always been an uphill fight, but when it got harder, they got more insular and less involved. In SC, you have to work twice as hard, and this is what you get if you continually don't.

They back somebody who has some credentials and expect the general party voters to elect him. Beyond their little group, they probably don't know who is actually going to vote in the Dem party. They backed Clinton over Obama which is no sin. However, they are so arrogant and stupid that the way they do things makes people furious.

I didn't vote for Greene. I won't vote for him because of the 'obscene photo' charge. That isn't even mildly funny. Unless that had been cleared up completely, he is more than just a fool.

This smacks of a clumsy Lee Atwater trick. He would have done this in a heartbeat, but it would have been a little more subtle. Remember, the country fell for his bag of hate when they elected GHWB.

Jim Clyburn is my representative, and I like him a lot. I have always been puazzled about his support for the Fowlers. I asked a friend who has been very involved for a while with the party about that. She says he has never made any issue of it probably because they somehow got district lines drawn to favor his election. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad he is my rep. They just gamed the gerrymandering.

You know how it makes you feel when the leadership seems to ignore your views? Welcome to that when it is taken to an extreme by those leaders.

South Carolina is an unreality show, and we are unpaid extras. It makes the 'Cirque de Soleil' look like a performance on monkey bars.

I know who will get a lot of votes in 2010. It will be a write in for Mr. You've Got to Be Shitting Me.
