IDBillzFan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Excellent article here about Wendy Davis. In the end, you can't make abortion the launching pad for your gubernatorial run only to pee your pants and run away when asked about when life begins. Her entire political raison d’etre is her staunch support of abortion rights. And not just abortion rights in a general sense: Last June she stood on the floor of the Texas legislature for 11 hours arguing in support of a woman’s right to abort her baby after 20 weeks. That is a position well outside the mainstream, as Democrats often say of Republicans, and it is certainly outside the sensibilities of most Texas voters. Yet, despite being hailed by Democrats and members of the media as a feminist role model and a woman of courage who stood up to “speak truth to power,” Davis essentially refused to address the question of when life begins. Fudging details of her resume is one thing. What is far worse is being too cowardly to give a straight answer, let alone a thoughtful one, to a straightforward question that goes to the heart of a matter she has made the signature issue of her political life.

Or just say "I don't know...but that's the point, it's a decision based on an individual's morality and beliefs." It's a question where it's actually okay to say "I don't know."

B-Man Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/01/wendy-davis-is-the-deja-victim-candidate/ FTA: The firestorm of controversy has set Davis back on her heels. Her first response was to play victim, accusing Greg Abbott’s campaign and the Dallas Morning News reporter of being in cahoots, something the reporter and campaign deny. In any event, what if they were in cahoots — the facts are the facts, and the fact is that Davis’ narrative of overcoming personal victimhood was misleading, at best. Now Davis is playing victim all over again, putting her now-adult daughters forward to attest to her mothering skills, in the release by the campaign of letters from each of her children. Davis also put her oldest daughter from her first marriage, Amber, on stage to introduce Wendy last night at a rally, attesting that Wendy was the best mother any daughter could want. Amber was tearful. Putting your child out on stage to cry for you is not something most of us would do. Most of us would rather lose an election, than put our child through that, even if that child now is an adult We’ll fight our own battles, thank you. Davis also is on the warpath, again accusing the Abbott campaign and anyone else who questions her narrative of smearing her It’s a “Look, Squirrel” rountine. Assuming Davis’ daughters love her, so what? That doesn’t make her false narrative of personal struggle true. It’s possible for Davis to be loved by her daughters and to have mislead the public about her single mom/trailer park victimhood narrative. Is this really a becoming way for a candidate to act? Wouldn’t it just be better, so far out from the election, just to say “sorry” but vote for me anyway because [fill in the blank]? The problem for Davis is that her personal narrative is all she has. She’s no Elizabeth Warren, who rose to fame based on policy and scholarship and for whom the false narrative was an impediment to political success. There is no “[fill in the blank]” to be filled in that would win her the election. She’s a single issue candidate, and that single issue of late term abortion will not win her the race. Her appearance yesterday with the President of Planned Parenthood only reinforces her single issue image. Wendy Davis may have no choice but to stand and play victim all over again. .

IDBillzFan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Man, what is it with progressives and their inability to pay taxes properly. Wendy Davis not reporting all her income? Who does she think she is...Timothy Geitner??? Davis allegedly failed to report on her personal financial filings more $25,000 in interest and dividends she made between 2010 and 2012. The complaint also says that Davis did not inform the state of her paid consulting for the employer of a lobbyist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's hard to be single mother. ...unless you use your campaign funds to pay for your extravagant lifestyle. Davis lived at the Monarch during the 81st session, from January 13, 2009, to June 1, 2009. The residence is described as a “luxury community,” with “five-star resort amenities.” The total amount of rent and utilities paid to the Monarch during the session was$13,882.07. Additionally, a maid service fee appears on Davis’ 2009 semi-annual report. The company, “Maid at your service,” received $240 for “cleaning services.” Davis continued expensing rent and utilities at the Monarch between August and December of 2009 and in February and May of 2010, though the legislature was no longer meeting in Austin. During that time, Davis expensed an additional $22,280.14. In a way, she's the perfect progressive...spending all of her days using other people's money to pay for her life.
