Wendy Davis, of filibuster fame, to announce Texas governor plans

Are you disputing what I wrote? Are you saying what Wendy Davis did (which indeed had an impact)....

I would say it was really less in what Wendy Davis did, and more about anarchy politics of radicals in the gallery.
 
Then you are as blind as a bat. It is religion that has been pushing the abortion issue, as well as the evolution debate. They claim to keep religion out of it, but you can bet your ass that the Bible is behind almost all of it. Just like when the courts knocked down the forced teaching of creationism in the schools, so they changed "creationism" to "intelligent design", and then claimed that it was no longer about God doing the creating. Just some other higher power that maybe lives over in the next county who calls himself something other than God. LOL.

Ok, then it should be real easy for you to go on back to the question I asked Tet, and post for us where I made any reference to the bible, scripture, or anything of the sort....No Dana, this is deflection pure and simple from you.
 
Are you disputing what I wrote? Are you saying what Wendy Davis did (which indeed had an impact) was the same as what Ted Cruz did (which didn't have an impact)?


Ted Cruz?s phony Obamacare filibuster was really about .?.?. Ted Cruz - Washington Post

All I'm reading from your post is deflection and a silly attempt to divert from my response to your post by addressing me personally.

Grow a pair and address the post instead of hiding behind rhetoric.

Goddamn right I'm disputing what you said....

Apparently you have no idea what a filibuster is and the intent and reasoning behind it...

Hell, at least a filibuster is more noble than circumventing a quorum which democrats/progressives take pride in...

My religion has absolutely NOTHING to do with my position on abortion...

Since when has opposition to murder been exclusively a religious issue? Using your logic atheists are incapable of being moral or even ethical if you want to blame pro-life ideas on religion and religion exclusively.
 
Is impeding an individual from life wrong? absolutely yes it is wrong. Abortions are nothing more than impeding another individual right to life. This shouldn't be a political issue at all...

It's amazing how so called progressives talk about civil liberties yet have absolutely no problem denying a human the right to live. To make it worse most abortions are carried out of convenience - the mother isn't "ready" or doesn't want to be a mother period at that point in her life (some men have the same problem)..... If they're not ready for the consequences of sex (or miracle product) then they're not mature enough to be having sex PERIOD because obviously they're not ready for the responsibility that comes with the act...

As a libertarian this has absolutely NOTHING to do with my religious beliefs and everything to do with responsibility - I don't have sex with woman I believe would have an abortion or even make a bad mother...... Sex is fun and healthy but at the same time sex has serious ramifications both physically and emotionally.....

Abortion is nothing more than an easy way out for the lazy and immature...

There is no true reason to have an abortion unless it threatens the mothers health (ectopic pregnancy for example)..
 
And your sense of mindless partisan hackery is deplorable....

weeeeee....fun with names....

Oh please.

You damn well know plenty of people will vote just because of the letter in front of the name. Not just liberals, not just conservatives.

So you can take solace in knowing you are in equally repugnant partisan company from "the other guys"? That seems rather...foolish.

A filibuster is a type of parliamentary procedure where debate is extended, allowing one or more members to delay or entirely prevent a vote on a given proposal.

Wendy Davis prevented a vote on her filibuster.
Ted Cruz didn't stop a damn thing.

So tell me, who doesn't know what they're talking about?

You do realize the filibuster was to prevent ANY piece of Obamacare to be funded in a bill that would be sent to the Senate??

Few RINO's were down to fund but Cruz called Bull****.... I call that Badass... 19 hours the man went... That's dedication.... If he didn't care he wouldn't have stood there for 19 hours talking.

I never said I take solace.
 
And she is gonna get slaughtered in the election. LOL.

Article is here.

It's early but the polls do not show a "slaughter".

(AUSTIN) A recent poll conducted by the Texas Lyceum, the statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan premier leadership group, shows Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott ahead of State Senator Wendy Davis by eight percentage points, should she decide to run for governor. Among registered voters, Abbott comes in at 29 percent to 21 percent for Davis. However, at this very early stage “don’t know” comes out way ahead of both with 50 percent of the registered voters polled between September 6 – September 20.
Among women, Abbott and Davis are in a statistical tie, 25 percent to 23 percent, with Abbott holding a lead over Davis that is within the poll’s 3.47 percent margin of error. Fifty-one percent of women remain undecided on the Abbott-Davis matchup. Looking among African Americans and Hispanic registered voters Davis enjoys a lead with both groups. Among African Americans, Davis carries a 26-point lead - 36 percent to 10 percent - and among Hispanics, Davis leads Abbott 22 percent to 18 percent

I believe everyone who is not in the tank (brainwashed) and have no stake in the tank (welfare, Obamaphone, food stamps) will be voting non-democrat next fall.

The main reason why republicans are holding their seats are were democratically elected to their is seats during the last mid term was because they pledged small government and opposition to Obamacare...

They hold their ground and tell the truth that democrats refuse to accept no government funding that doesn't include Obamacare the Senate will taken by republicans and that means a repeal of Obamacare entirely .... That's why Democrats are opposed to a 1-year delay on the funding with any government funding bill.... They know they're done in a year.
