Wendy Davis - Nice story

[senseamp]

So you think it is normal to have TROs issue against mothers in a divorce? That judges put them out for shits and giggles?

Or maybe its because there are serious issues. Like in the court order linked.

What exactly are you claiming Wendy Davis did?

 

[Geosurface]

I'm pro-choice but I have to agree, this lady seems like the perfect example of the smoke and mirrors of democrats.

They love a good story, and they love to do whatever it takes to make things APPEAR a certain way. But when you pull back the curtain, you almost always find out that things aren't how they've been presented.

The left loves "strong, independent women" but the dirty secret is, most of them these days are still siphoning money off men in order to do that, whether it's an ex husband being absolutely bent over by the system and financing her life, or if it's just taxpaying men (and more productive women) they're getting to subsidize their poor life choices. Often, it's both.

And libs love to be able to point at a university or workplace and say "see how diverse it is? isn't it lovely?" but the dirty secret is how much rigging and standard lowering they do in order to get it that way. They will gladly lower educational and vocational standards, abandon common sense testing standards, and do whatever it takes to silence those who would point these things out, as long as the end result (in their lifetimes) is a wonderful rainbow of diversity. The bill will come due after they're gone. In the form of a dumber society far less able to compete or produce, and ironically far less able to provide for the leeching they encourage.

Wait, does anyone doubt that she's the victim of a GOP smear campaign? I think we're all just surprised at how poorly vetted by the DNC she seems.

Poorly vetted in what sense? What specifically are you accusing her of doing?

Her biggest problem appears to be an exaggeration of the difficulties she faced as a single mother.

Everything else seems to be GOP smear BS or attacks by an angry ex. But we will have to see what time tells us to be sure.

If you are going to tout your credentials as a single mother you might want to make sure your ex-husband doesn't get custody of the kids.

Yeah, we'll see. But Republicans don't get to call her an abusive parent with no evidence, and also retain credibility for their other attacks if that is proven false.

 

[Zargon]

It already is. There are plenty of cases over the past 15 years where a women has been the sole financial provider for a husband going to med/dentist/law school and then less than a year after graduation turn around and divorce the wife.

my sleaze bag ex uncle did that, after 2 kids and law school he left my aunt and married his secretary

notice I called him sleaze

are you part of her campaign btw? jeez, you also misquoted the same info like 17 times, unless her campaign corrections are also a lie



I wont hold ones young transgressions against them, I have enough of my own

but she should know better than to 'exaggerate' like that, knowing she'll get caught

 

[nehalem256]

Calm down. At worse we are just "not being totally accurate about her life story"

That's fine. She is a Democrat running for governor of Texas. She got nothing to lose. The risk from stirring this hornets nest is entirely on the GOP side.

 

[Anarchist420]

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.

all of the money she has is stolen so she is not only leech on her husband, she is also leech on the productive.

The bill is already due and being paid.

The US does not even rank in the top 10 for upward mobility. If I remember right, Peru has better economic mobility than the USA.

The US does not even rank in the top 20 for infant mortality.

Our infrastructure is falling apart.

Corporate greed is out of control.

Wall street has free reign of our banking system.

But for some reason we are supposed to be a world leader?

 

[Geosurface]

True.

We're already seeing this society coming apart. And not just the US, but western civilization as a whole. Some portions being more advanced in the process than others.

The cause is always the same: the fundamental liberal approach of simultaneously increasing the burden on those who are productive and actually make a society function, in the form of massive governmental bloat and social spending, WHILST simultaneously creating an atmosphere in a thousand ways which will ensure fewer of those people will exist in the future.

In other words, the very definition of unsustainable.

Not sure if I should start a new thread or continue this one. Either way here goes.

Not only did Wendy Davis lose the governors race, the replacement for her senate seat was voted out of office.

Maybe her pro-baby killing speeches would be better received in california.

No one ever gave Davis a snow ball chances in hell of winning the Governors race.

SD10 is a republican district so it is not a surpise a Democrat not named Wendy Davis lost the seat. Wendy Davis only won in SD10 because she had strong pre-existing ties to the district.

Abortion had zero to do with her losing. I don't know why the right continues to make it a wedge issue as the majority of Americans broadly support abortion being legal. She had every right to filibuster, more so considering Texas' law isn't likely survive intact in its entirety.

It's not the right making it a wedge issue, abortion was Davis' sole claim to fame.

Tennessee also passed an anti-abortion amendment - without my vote obviously. Ours too is no doubt headed for partial if not complete derailing in court.

Oh you are funny.

Davis’ largely one-issue campaign — built around late-term abortion rights for women — simply didn’t play in the Lone Star State.

She was a one trick pony, everyone knows that. She never even came close to giving Greg need for speed Abbott a run for his money.

If there was a single reason why I did not vote for davis, it is because she is pro-murder of unborn children.

Wreckem stated abortion had zero to do with wendy losing.

All you need is 1 person to say abortion was an issue, and his statement is wrong. WesternJournalism.com plus myself makes two sources that say abortion was an issue.

So there, Wreckem was wrong as abortion was an issue.

 

[unokitty]

Without commenting on her politics, its obvious that Wendy Davis was something other than truthful when she presented her life story as that of a struggling single mother who pulled herself up by her bootstraps from a trailer park though Texas Christian University (yearbook photo above top) and through Harvard Law.

Fact is that her second husband, a former Fort Worth City Councilman, paid her way through Harvard Law and that the day he made the final school loan payment, she ditched him along with her two kids.

Fake hair, fake boobs, and a fake life story may have made her a star with liberal media that supported her pro-abortion filibuster.

But as the election results show, it didn't make her a star with the voters.

Then again, for some people fake hair and fake boobs are enough...

Uno

 

[Londo_Jowo]

All I know is it sure is nice not having to watch her attack ads anymore. Abbott played it right by not running a single attack ad.

 

[Texashiker]

she ditched him along with her two kids.

Dumped her husband, left her kids, pro-abortion, tells me she does not respect family or value life.

I think it safe to say even the liberal states would not want her representing their district.

I suspect her political career is pretty much over.

All I know is it sure is nice not having to watch her attack ads anymore. Abbott played it right by not running a single attack ad.

Didn't you say awhile back you were going to vote for her?

How did that turn out? You honestly support someone who left her husband, left her kids, and ran nothing but attack ads on a handicapped opponent?

If you are not loyal to your family, who can you be loyal to?

Here we go with the drunken Texashick memory issues. I never said I was going to vote for her. For the record I voted for Abbott.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Liberal politician loses an election,.. keep ripping into her fellas!!

Conservatives win the fall election - fucking whiny liberal babies,.. Waaaah!! Get over it!!

Someone from Texas proudly proclaimed they were going to vote for Wendy.

I honestly thought it was you?

 

[nageov3t]

my impression was that she was never able to make her case as a candidate for anything other than abortion/contraception.

so while a vote against her might not necessarily have translate into a vote against abortion, it's hard to say that her inability to talk about anything else didn't have a huge impact on her loss.
