Go Wendy Davis Go! (1 Viewer)

[IvanKaramazov]

Rick Perry called another special session for July 1. I just can't imagine what emergency issue will be on the call.

Just think about all this money that they waste for this "special" session, when it could go to the great educators of this state. Since they seem to have problems funding the education system in Texas.

Why not blame Wendy Davis for all that wasted money?

(I'm not saying that would be at all fair -- I honestly do respect her filibuster even if I don't agree with her position. It's just that "Think of the money we could save if only the legislature didn't have to get together to do its job" isn't a very compelling argument).

The Governor doesn't have to call for a special session on this.

True, and there also wouldn't be a special session on this if Davis hadn't filibustered the bill.

And the filibuster wouldn't have worked if they had gotten to the bill earlier in the session instead of working 2 day weeks for the first month and deliberately making it a last-day bill so there would be headlines about all their hard work during the session.

I agree with all of this too. This is why "I blame X for the special session" is almost always going to be a silly argument. It's takes a particular combination of actions by a bunch of different people to wind up in a spot like this.

 

[Abraham]

Of course it does. And the biggest party to "blame" is the culture that accepts/allows the Texas legislature to actually work for about six weeks every two years. At the beginning of the session there is a line out the door of the clerks office to file bills. This was Sb5, meaning it was technically the fifth bill filed. Yes it was amended and had to go through committee but this bill and its intent were known about five minutes after the gavel dropped in January.

It did pass, but it was ruled that it was not a valid vote. So it failed at this time.

What I find so funny, is that Republicans are so concerned about a fetus, yet have no concerns for them when they are born. Also Republicans want smaller Govt, yet want to tell a woman that she cannot control what goes on in her body.

They are not pro-life. They have a fetus fetish.

Oh please. Stop this crap. This is as terrible of posting as possible. Making false generalizations about people is a bull#### tactic.

Yeah get back to me when the same people against abortion aren't also voting to end food stamps or medical care for the children they claim to love so ####### much.

First you completely misrepresent what was voted on. Second, suggesting wanting to reform a particular program equates to having no concern for children is a sick tact. Government spending is not the only way to care for people. That is purely liberal/big government thinking. Some people see some government programs as wasteful, ineffective and a contributing factor to some of the problems. Get back to me when you stop being such an a##hole.

Funny post. Did you mean to say "sick tack", as in "angle or direction", or did you mean to say "sick tactic", as in "strategy"?

Or were you trying to say what you said, "sick tact" which is an odd way to describe sensitivity. Not very clear.

 

[Abraham]

This bill didn;t have anything to do with government spending. If it did, it was by increasing the resource need for enforcement of yet another law.

No the reason there is a special session is so they can ram it through. If they did it in regular session it has to receive more than majority support which it won't do.

No I didn't. I could sit here all day and give you link after link of people on the side you support ranting about how every fetus is sacred one minute and then railing against programs that help kids the next. It seems to me the pro life movement thinks life begins at conception and ends at birth.

Oh and when I am being an ####### you'll know it. I haven't even gotten close.

It's all good now. Governor Perry mansplained it to her.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry ® on Thursday invoked state Sen. Wendy Davis' (D) personal experience as the daughter of a single woman and a teenage mother herself to argue for the passage of a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks -- legislation that was at least temporarily blocked earlier this week due to an 11 hour filibuster led by the Texas Democrat.

Perry used Davis as an example of someone who was born into hard circumstances but ultimately became a successful Harvard educated lawyer.

“Who are we to say that children born into the worst of circumstances can’t grow to live successful lives?” he asked in his address at the National Right to Convention in Dallas, Texas. "She was the daughter of as single woman, she was a teenage mother herself. She managed to eventually graduate from Harvard Law School and serve in the Texas senate. It is just unfortunate that she hasn’t learned from her own example that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential and that every life matters."

On Wednesday, Perry called for a special legislative session to try again to push through the bill.

He has benefited a great deal from the fact that the dems pay very little attention to the state. Je has also paid off pretty much every important group around. IIf a democrat who liked guns came around, perry might have trouble.

First off, Clayton Williams R lost the Texas governorship to Ann Richards D with his wildly inappropriate and insensitive comments about women.

Then Ann Richards' Dem convention speech attacking Bush turned the tide in Texas to the hard right, as a reaction to her harsh words.

I think Perry might be turning the tide again with these personal attacks.

There is a "Real Wendy Davis" website now! From Slate:

Wendy Davis Was a Brunette. Feminism Is a Lie.

Under the cover of darkness, an anonymous Wordpress blog went up over the weekend that will finally end this entire charade that is Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis. The Real Wendy Davis exposes the deep, dark secret that will surely derail the career of this upstart pro-choice Democrat who represents Ft. Worth: She used to have a different hairstyle.

That top photo is Davis in law school. The second is Davis today. To the normal human eye, this shocking photo evidence suggests a woman whose face has thinned with age and whose hair has been dyed and styled differently than it was before. To the intrepid conservative eye, however, this is dazzling proof that the evil feminist she-beast is hiding her true, unattractive face, probably with plastic surgery. After showing photographic evidence of how both political blogger Glenn Reynolds and President Obama looked better when they were younger, the anonymous blogger then goes in for the kill:
Now consider Texas state Senator Wendy R. Davis, who has recently been in the news being touted (however dubiously) as the Left’s technologically enhanced “feminist superhero.” She is 50 years old. Yet, unlike Reynolds and Obama, but like Mac Davis, it appears she gets better looking each day. If she has not found the Fountain of Youth, at minimum she has found very talented plastic surgeons and image consultants who have readied her for her closeup.
Somehow, during the past two decades she has been transformed from a frumpy, pleasant looking but plain-faced, flat-chested brunette with thick, messy hair, into a buxom blonde with excellent facial features and sleek, long, perfectly coiffed hair, like she stepped straight out of Vogue.
Somehow. Who knows what kind of witchcraft they perform in those "beauty salons." Anonymous blogger goes on to write:
For someone who in the early 1990s was a feminist activist in law school, and who is currently posing as a champion of women’s rights, standing up to men who seek to dictate the way women should live, she seems to have devoted an unusual amount of attention to her physical appearance.
Burn! Feminists, as you have no doubt heard, are ugly things that no man would ever touch. So either Davis is hot but a fake feminist or a real feminist but actually very ugly. Either way, I'm glad this anonymous site has finally exposed ... the deeply negative feelings about women and sex that motivate a movement to stomp out reproductive rights.

Interesting.

Well I'm glad to see they were impartial and chose random pictures to compare rather than looking for old black and white photos to contrast with particularly well angled photos and publicity photos that show her at her most attractive.

She is within striking distance in the polls but she is going to need a spectacular ground game to have a chance. Which means she needs money. With that said I think national Democrats feel like Texas is going to be in play sooner rather than later and I don't think they'll let her lose due to lack of money. I know she is going to get a lot of internet money.

I don't know if she can win but I do know the netroots are going to give her money. And I am pretty sure the national party sees this as a way to start making inroads so they will give her money. I would say the AG certainly has the advantage but he doesn't have Chrisitie like numbers so anything can happen.

Yeah you keep saying that as if the guy is anointed from on high. He isn't. Davis is starting out where a lot of Dems finish and it should be noted about half of those polled still have no idea who they are going to support. I hope Abbot thinks he already won as well.

Texas state senator and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis (D) is rebuking harsh criticism from Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol.

Last week, Palin took to her blog to condemn Davis as "downright pathetic" after a report in the Dallas Morning News questioned some details of the state senator's life story, including how long she lived in a trailer and when her divorce to her first husband went through.

"She left her kid, husband, made it into a false 'made-for-TV-movie-type-tale' and then demanded that Texans have the right to kill babies," Palin wrote. "That’s the woman you libs can really get behind!"

“With all due respect to Miss Palin, of course, nothing that was said in that tweet is true," Davis said in a Monday interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos. "I am very proud of the mother that I have been to my daughters. I have always been and will always be the most important female in their life. They are the most important thing to me."

Palin's criticism was representative of many conservative responses to the Dallas Morning News report.

"So Abortion Barbie had a Sugar Daddy Ken," Fox News pundit Erick Erickson tweeted, referencing Davis' filibuster of an anti-abortion bill in the Texas legislature last year. "[Not] exactly the bio she claimed."

Meanwhile, radio host Rush Limbaugh described Davis as "head case" and a "fake," while her gubernatorial opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott ®, accused Davis of promoting a "fanciful narrative."

Davis's campaign manager Karin Johansen dismissed the attacks as "desperate," writing in an email to supporters that Limbaugh and others would "try anything, including the typical dirty tricks we're all tired of" to defeat Davis.

One Texas Republican, Becky Haskin, also came to Davis' defense.

“If this involved a man running for office, none of this would ever come up,” Haskins told the Star-Telegram. “It’s so sad. Every time I ran, somebody said I needed to be home with my kids. Nobody ever talks about men being responsible parents.”

 

[timschochet]

Abortion Barbie? She demands the right to kill babies?

This is getting really ugly. Do the Republicans really think this sort of rhetoric is going to win them the votes of women?

 

[NCCommish]

Yeah Bristol Palin is definitely someone who should be talking.

[Koya]

The personal attacks are walking a very, very fine line. With implications potentially far beyond the State of Texas.

Man the Dem's would have had this mid term all but wrapped up if not for Obama's pathetic roll out and insistence on focusing on Health Care above all else.

I don't agree. They've been attacked for infidelity (and, implicitly, honesty.) But they have not been attacked for what is perceived as a "man's role" vs. a "woman's role". It is the nature of the attacks against Davis which IMO are objectionable.

The story is the Morning News ran the report and what's in it. All this is aftermath. Davis screaming, "(Bristol) Palin is being mean!" is kind of ridiculous.
