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

[Rage Against the McKee]

She claims she told them after she was already hired and didn't know they were claiming she was a minority faculty member.

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.

Why does that matter? I'd love to learn how to cook Indian food and publish an Indian cookbook.

When I think uber-liberal, I think Harvard.

Books!  Learnin!  Ivory Towers!  LIBS!

Incomplete list of people that I know personally that went to Harvard:

Berkshire-Hathaway analyst/exec
Bain Capital exec
Corporate lawyer
Women's Studies Professor
Entrepreneur
Newspaper men

Maybe you could write a book about how difficult it was being a slave and then take a black guy's NAACP scholarship you obtuse half wit

You don't have to be Cherokee to cook Cherokee, dumbass.

Cherokee or Indian, you racist nitwit?

Lying about your heritage to advance your career is about as bad as it gets. Elizabeth Warren is a sociopath

Warren did a Cherokee cookbook. I've never had that, though. I like Indian food. Indian from India, to be clear. The fact that lying about your heritage can actually advance your career is far worse than actually lying about your heritage, imo, but you are probably just more liberal than me, so I'll let it go.

I've got a pretty good recipe for enchiladas. I'm not Mexican so I'll keep it to myself.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Do you use flour tortillas or corn?

Corn.

Well, maybe if you go back far enough, you are actually part Mexican. I think you should share the recipe.

I can't look at that guy, he reminds me of a creepier version of count chocula.  If he comes on TV, I'm outta the room.

That they should challenge her based on her political views and not meticulously attacking small inconsistencies in her biography?  Because if you agree, I have to question what the point of this whole rough ridin' thread was.

I think I see where you're getting confused. There's a difference between political strategy a party/campaign should follow and what is posted on an internet message board. Wendy's a fraud, and the more potent political attack is to focus on the monstrous nature of her filibuster.

Multiple responses to the State of the Union shows that right's political strategy is basically letting everyone post as though on a message board, though I would agree on focusing on issues

She said "for her life begins at birth".  This is really the only answer she can give without laying in bed at night wondering if she an accessory to millions of murders. It has to be a difficult position to defend without sounding like an uncaring monster.

We don't lose sleep over millions of people who die around the world from illness/starvation/war because they aren't a part of our society. Why should the unborn be any different? They are clearly alive, in my scientific opinion.

Exactly, we can't pass laws reducing war around the world, just like we can't pass laws reducing abortion. Exactly.

I never said that we can't pass laws. We probably shouldn't, though. Less government involvement in people's lives is a good thing, and the people that abortion laws would target really aren't threats to society in need of incarceration.

No, I agree with you - the less government involvement in people's lives (as long as you've been born, anyway), the better. Totally agree. Of course, if you haven't been born yet, you'd probably appreciate a little more protection, but minor point. Minor point.
