Wendy Davis: Liberal Hero, Abortion Hero (but I repeat myself), Liar

[ChiComCat]

In the world of the right wing herd, everyone who leans left of center loves Wendy Davis.

But the left leaners won't come out and say why the don't love her. Toe the liberal line, beems.

Yeah, she seems like a pretty bad person. I wouldn't expect many lefties to turn on her, though, just like I don't expect much of the right wing to turn on Christie.

I think Christie gets the benefit of the doubt until there is at least one piece of evidence that he set up the traffic jam. That's one thing you have to respect about the right.  The left is "guilty until proven innocent".

Besides the emails of his right hand administrator setting up the traffic jams?

She was fired for doing that. I'm not naive, but if they're smart enough to not have a paper or electronic trail, he gets the benefit of the doubt, just like Obama. The problem Obama has is he didn't fire anybody, indicating he may be afraid they would implicate him.

No way the president fears firing someone will get him implicated.  All these aides in politics know their job is to fall on the sword.

Why would anyone outside of Texas spend any time discussing Wendy Davis?  From what I've gathered in this thread, she's just another lying, POS politician.

There's a great possibility that she does have Indian lineage considering her birth in Oklahoma.

Not all people of Native American ancestry are red faces and dark hair. There  are a large number of white people throughout the Midwest  who have mixed genetics and  are non registered.

Her story is believable.

i don't think her (warren) story is believable (in its whole, it's believable that she thought she had cherokee ancestry), and i do think that it reflects on her character that she tried to claim herself as native american, presumably in order to gain favorable placement for employment.

at the same time, it annoys me that the media swallowed the cherokee mafia's assertion that your ancestors were other listed on the rolls and then you're a cherokee, or they weren't, and then you're not.

I think Harvard is the real culprit in this story in that they used her to bolster their appearance of having a more diverse faculty simply based on her thinking she may be part Cherokee. She is obviously very Caucasian and would have never been singled out or discriminated against as a minority. She was a useful tool towards their liberal cause, and she played along.

He may get your benefit of the doubt, but he isn't getting the majority BOTD.  He screwed some of his constituents over a petty political ploy and got caught.  That's the risk you run.

A lying Wendy Davis would still be a better governor than an honest Greg Abbott tho.

Even if Christie knew nothing at all about the traffic jam (I think he most likely knew everything), he hired those who created it, and they wouldn't have done it if they didn't think he would approve. Christie obviously has the type of personality and creates the type of work environment where these guys thought they would just stop traffic and then go pound some brews with Christie and laugh about the whole thing.

Indeed.  He has shown he is awful at hiring people, can't be trusted.

All politicians are liars. Wendy marrying some guy and cashing in his 401k to pay for her education, then divorcing him as soon as she graduated is what makes her a bad person, imo. I really don't know much about Abbott.

You shouldn't be so bitter about that, her ex-husband isn't'.

Yes, because Texas Republicans are bastions of racial tolerance.

He probably still loves her, and that is clouding his judgement.

You don't burn bridges with the possible governor. He might make some of his money back.

His wife is Mexican.

Trophy.

Real trophies don't come with kids.  It's not hard to find a 21 year old trophy without some other dude's child

[Rage Against the McKee]

The guy she married wasn't wealthy. That's why he had to cash in his 401k to pay for her school. Some people just buy their trophies at the flea market.

The reason I blame Christie for this is because he created an environment and fostered a culture where this type of thing is okay.  It's just like how Obama and his staff have created a culture where targeting conservative groups is okay until we run into things like the IRS scandal

I think Harvard is the real culprit in this story in that they used her to bolster their appearance of having a more diverse faculty simply based on her thinking she may be part Cherokee. She is obviously very Caucasian and would have never been singled out or discriminated against as a minority. She was a useful tool towards their liberal cause, and she played along.

i don't agree.  harvard merely reported the information that was given to them.  warren knowingly provided false information.  additionally, whatever benefit that accrued to harvard for appearing to have a slightly more diverse workforce than they actually had, was slight to nil.  on the other hand, it's possible that warren received employment opportunities that would not have otherwise been available to her.

She claims she told them after she was already hired and didn't know they were claiming she was a minority faculty member. Universities are strange in that they put as much emphasis on diversity as they do academics. Uber libs are a strange subset of society.

Granted you're a moron and a fool, but haven't you also gathered she's running for governor of Texas? Not exactly an obscure political position.

i didn't know that.  i don't believe the latter, but i suppose i should look into the matter more before i blithely impugn her character.

It's OK, she doesn't have a lot of character to impugn. She went ahead an published a book of native American recipes knowing she was less than 1/32 Cherokee at the very most.
