IDBillzFan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 She's getting beat up pretty badly. You have to feel especially bad for all the people who donated millions to her cause based on her misleading history. But hey...PINK MIZUNOS!!!

OCinBuffalo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 More confirmation that the left has accepted lying, and lies, as OK. Again, not lying in terms of normal political discourse. No. Lying in terms of: "I'm going to lie, and not care if I get caught. I'm not even going to try". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ASHE SCHOW: Wendy Davis feminism vs. real feminism. Davis was recently accused of “blurring” the facts surrounding her life, and while she did struggle as a child — working at 14 to help support her mother — what she has since come to stand for undermines what women around the world are fighting for. Davis is of course a very bright woman. She received an academic scholarship to attend Texas Christian University and was accepted to Harvard Law School. That’s no small feat, and she certainly should get feminist credibility for that. But what came to light in the Dallas Morning News on Sunday was that after Davis’ husband finished paying for her Harvard education, she left him, and he was granted parental custody of their 14-year-old daughter. “She said, ‘I think you’re right; you’ll make a good, nurturing father. While I’ve been a good mother, it’s not a good time for me right now,’” Davis’ ex-husband, Jeff Davis, said. Not a good time to be a mother? This wasn’t even during a pregnancy. Jeff Davis wasn’t talking about their conversation over a potential abortion. This was a conversation about child custody. A former colleague of Davis’ told the Dallas Morning News that the gubernatorial candidate’s ambition played a role in the custody ruling. “Wendy is tremendously ambitious,” he said. “She’s not going to let family or raising children or anything else get in her way.” Is that feminism? The ability to shirk one’s responsibilities in order to get ahead in life? jon gabriel @exjon Follow Wendy Davis needs a man like a fish needs a rich bicycle that will pay its way through fish law school and take full custody of its spawn. 7:08 PM - 20 Jan 2014 401 Retweets 204 favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strongest blow will be the reaction of mothers to her willingly giving up custody of her kids, one being a two-year old. The strangest thing about this thread is that no one has asked the woudga question yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Is that because as a liberal, lying is to be expected? No I don't think so. Honestly. (if there is such a thing for OCinBuffalo on PPP) For real, I think there's a difference between: "we're going to spin this thing our way, because that's what competent political people have been doing since Cicero". And: "F it, I'm just going go out and tell them whatever, it's not like it matters anyway. Why put any real effort into it = "I got this" . And, when they call me on this set of lies? I'm going to go out and tell even bigger lies, and character assassinate everyone who dares question my lies." It's a choice. The first is about competence, the second is reckless abandon driven by extreme arrogance. It's almost like they hold everyone in contempt, which is just sad. I don't think all liberals are prepared, or even comfortable with the second choice....but clearly: many of them are. EDIT: I think this is bad behavior, that's cost the left their credibility. But, I think it's also correctable behavior. They don't have to choose the 2nd way, they could choose the 1st, and at least keeping the appearances of integrity.
