Wendy Davis - Nice story

[Genx87]

I had to chuckle at this one. A women playing the perfect narrative of a single mother working her way out of poverty, through school, and into politics. Well as lee corso says. Not so fast my friend. I guess that story holds true when describing pulling yourself out of poverty by marrying somebody to pay your way. And then dropping them when the final bill is paid.

Oh the webs these people weave for themselves.

She has a 'D' after her name, so it's all good.

 

[nehalem256]

So basically she got a man to pay for everything she wanted so she could be a "strong independent woman".

Sounds like exactly the kind of woman who would be a Democrat.

Glad I don't have to vote in that election.

And, I'd guess a woman who was a Republican wouldn't want being a strong independent woman... maybe a weak dependent one. But, dependent on who... herself? Perhaps a husband? Given Ms. Davis is married and working maybe Mr. Davis saw this contribution as an investment... Harvard grads make good money on average.

Jeff and Wendy Davis ended up getting divorced in 2005, roughly when her final Harvard payment was due.

"I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left," Jeff Davis told the Morning News.

[MagnusTheBrewer]

A story about yet another sleazy politico. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

 

[Incorruptible]

So she lied. Is the MSM going to call her out over this? I doubt it.

 

[row]

nothing more than a typical leftist skank. the divorce was based on infidelity (hers), and she also gave up both her daughters (different fathers) so that she could pursue her goals. her goals being to murder those you don't give away i suppose.

she first ran as a republican, city council in Fort Worth. guess the party wasn't "progressive" enough for her?

Though she admitted some details had been blurred, Davis defended her overall story as a young single mother who rose out of poverty and built a successful career.

Guess she didn't marry a misogynist like you.

Pull your head out of your ass. You'll find the world less disgusting when you look at something besides your own shit.

So you are basically saying a Harvard Law grad made no income during the 10 years of loan payments and made zero financial contributions to her family finances.... Rolls eyes.

She had a Federal Clerkship, worked in Big Law for Haynes and Boone, and was an Executive of one of the largest Title Companies in the state of Texas and a partner in another. She probably made more in those 10 years than you have made in your entire life.

To imply that her husband paid for everything after she graduated/everything she wanted is nonsensical. And Texas is a fucking community property state, half of everything she earned during their marriage was his and vice-versa.

Double standard.... Men do similar crap all the time, but a woman doing it? Uh-oh!

IF only to cancel your vote I'd hope he does.

What Wendy says happened:

She frequently shared her biography both before and after she started running for governor, saying she was a single mother by the age of 19 and lived in a trailer with her young daughter. From there, she eventually put herself through community college, Texas Christian University, and Harvard Law School with the help of scholarship and loans.

What actually happened:

Davis later got help from a second husband, Jeff Davis, who helped pay for her two years at Texas Christian University and her time at Harvard.

"When she was accepted to Harvard Law School, Jeff Davis cashed in his 401(k) account and eventually took out a loan to pay for her final year there," Slater reports.

So yes I think Wendy used her husband to pay for her schooling, so she could be a strong independent woman, and then once the loan was paid off divorced him.

Isn't that what democrats do? They get someone else to pay the bill.

How many male politicians tout their story of being a poor single father, while in reality, they had a wife bankrolling their education.

Name one

Infidelity was alleged, but the divorce was not granted on those grounds(which means there wasn't enough proof).

Rick Perry was an ELECTED Democrat FOR YEARS. Not until he first ran for a state wide office did he change political affiliation.

And I will also note, she DID NOT run as a Republican for City Council, as City Council races are non partisan. She was listed as a republican because she voted in Republican judicial primaries.

The story in the first post was from CNN. That's not mainstream media?

:whiste:

I think she married Davis in '87, earned her law degree in '93.... I think it possible she provided income while Mr. Davis stayed home caring for the kids.... IF I recall correctly.

How exactly does that fit into her whole single mother working her way out of poverty story line?

Loans are what paid for the majority of her schooling. Loans that were paid back during a 10 year stretch of time where she was making high five figures and six-figures. To say her husband alone paid for her education, again is FUCKING NONSENSICAL. She was making $70000 one year removed from law school. One year of her salary could have likely paid off all of her Harvard loans as she went to school when law school was still cheap. They likely only had the student loans for the full 10 years because the interest rates were lower than fucking inflation.

Her tuition for the two years at TCU and 3 years at Harvard would have totaled $56000. Her big Law legal career started off in the $70s. She eclipsed the six figure range by the time she went in to the title Industry. In those 10 years she easily brought in $750k into the family finances. Thats almost 15 times the amount of her tuition. So no, her husband didn't pay for everything. That is what all sore spouses say when their wife/husband leaves. But the fact of the matter is she made a shit ton of money in those 10 years after she graduated law school. If she had left him in 1993-1994 your insinuations might be correct, but as they were divorced in 2005, 12 years after she completed law school. Your insinuations are entirely nonsensical.

How exactly does that fit into her whole single mother working her way out of poverty story line?

She had a kid at 17/18ish. She was not married until 19. Separated shortly there after and divorced at 21.

So she was an unmarried mother for the first one to two years of her first daughters life, and 5 out of the first 7(6 out of the first 7 if you count the time she was separated from the first husband). She was making roughly minimum wage for the first 7 years of her daughters life, so it is not wholly inaccurate like you are trying to make it. I guess it doesn't count unless you are unmarried and in poverty your child's whole life.
