~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GOP in Texas is really scared of Wendy Davis and they've started a smear campaign to prove it. It was bound to happen. She is a dream candidate for the Democrats in Texas in her bid for Governor and is getting financial help from all over the country. Whether she wins or not, she has become a national figure, and a huge target for the Right. Bring it on - she will just raise more money!
From the Dallas Morning News
A single mother working two jobs, she met Jeff Davis, a lawyer 13 years older than her, married him and had a second daughter. He paid for her last two years at Texas Christian University and her time at Harvard Law School, and kept their two daughters while she was in Boston. When they divorced in 2005, he was granted parental custody, and the girls stayed with him. Wendy Davis was directed to pay child support.
In an extensive interview last week, Davis acknowledged some chronological errors and incomplete details in what she and her aides have said about her life.
“My language should be tighter,” she said. “I’m learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail.”
Letter from the Wendy Davis for Governor Campaign in Texas
Dear Friend,
As our campaign has gained momentum, our opponents have gotten more and more desperate. But now they’ve stooped to a new low by attacking my family, my education, and my personal story – playing politics with the journey that has been my life.
Mine is a story about a teenage single mother who struggled to keep her young family afloat. It’s a story about a young woman who was given a precious opportunity to work her way up in the world. It’s a story about resiliency, and sacrifice, and perseverance.
And you’re damn right it’s a true story.
The connotation is, you (ex-husband Jeff Davis was)... supporting a family and raising her kids. She was neither supporting a family nor raising her kids. She married a sugar daddy, whom she asked to meet. He supported her. He raised the kids, while she went to Harvard Law School.

So this woman is just a fake. And she was readily embraced by the Democrat Party because she somehow was able to make some case, filibustering an anti-abortion law made to order, and they embraced her and just like Brad Pitt bought the wood, the Democrats embraced this babe, and it turns out that her life story has been blurred. So that's one of the scandals. I mean, "blurred" is not the word. She lied about her life story.
~ Rush Limbaugh
Wendy Davis has done even more to damage modern feminism than Monica Lewinsky playing Human Humidor with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office.
