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

So Ted Cruz is an asshat clown for his filibuster but Wendy Davis is a hero according to the left??

Wendy Davis' filibuster was an actual filibuster. Ted Cruz wasn't filibustering a damn thing. Thus, Ted is an asshat.
 
:lamo

"I'll vote her!" "Me too!" "Yeah...uh huh!", "Me too!" "and Me!"

You would vote for a dog turd if it had a D next to its name....

Your sense of superiority is adorable.
 
Uhg...you people please get out of our state.

I am a born and raised Texan with 4 generations before me calling this land our home.

Move to blue state and help your people finish it off and leave Texas alone.

?


Im a 5th generation Texan

Just because you don't agree with the message doesn't mean you can decide what a filibuster is and what isn't..

Do you not see the flaw in your logic and the snugness in your assertion?

I suppose actions and ideas are only relevant when you want them to be..

How old are you 17? hahaha

Do you even know the point of a filibuster or grandstanding?

I'd wager a "pot to piss in" that you don't.

WENDY DAVIS: "Laws are to create justice for all. We also received this written testimony. There's a medical necessity. Women need timely access."

Hi there Tet....:2wave: Can you please explain to me how 1. waiting til after 20 weeks is a "necessity"? or 2. "timely"?

How do laws create justice?

Laws inept liberty given their very nature.

We already have a Bill of Rights...
 
Yes she is.

Liberals seem to think that 15 minutes of fame and a slobbering media love afair is all thats needed to qualify for a positions of leadership.

So what, she fillibustered a law that was passed anyway.

Sorry Dems, Texas isn't going Democrat anytime soon

Palin was a liberal? Who knew?????

Except for the babies she wants murdered. She won't spend a second talking about them.

What kind of low informatiom type elects a person for Governer simply because she filibusters a bill ?

I think the same kind of person who applauds Ted Cruz for doing the same thing. :mrgreen:

Is the above a counter argument to what I posted? If so, please explain it to me because I don't see how it is.

1 - Strawman. No one is saying it's a necessity. What people are saying is there's no reason to ban it if DOCTORS say it's fine. AFAIK, that's the issue.
2 - Strawman. No one is saying it's timely. What people are saying is there's no reason to ban it if DOCTORS say it's fine. AFAIK, that's the issue.

I believe the timely access she is referring to is in response to most of the abortion clinics in Texas closing down.

But don't you know that the Bible trumps science here in Texas? A woman having a conversation with a talking snake is more believed here in Texas than evolution is. :mrgreen:

Wendy Davis was saying that. Didn't you read the quote I posted?

No one brought the bible into this but You! :roll:

Bah, your location is Brooklyn NY, sorry, but despite Obama's and Holder's repeated attempts to keep illegal voting going on, no way you get to vote here.

What was that old Old El Paso commercial? Oh yeah,

"where is he from?

New York City.

New York City? Get a rope!."
 
I believe the timely access she is referring to is in response to most of the abortion clinics in Texas closing down.

From what I understand, none of those clinics would have to close, just come up to standards of prudent care. So does "access" trump health?

No, the antiabortinists brought the bible into this issue, since it is the churches that are mainly driving it, and the vast majority of quotes are biblically related.

Well, most congress people that get up and speak turn out to be morons, especially Reid and Pelosi. At least Crus is trying to protect the Constitution and, thus, us. Davis was speaking against abortion restrictions, willing to fillibuster to allow unborn babies to be killed with less effort. What a gal!

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)?

To the extent that Cruz’s phony filibuster had a point (it didn’t delay any vote) it was to shame his fellow Republicans into joining his crusade to shut down the government if Obamacare isn’t defunded; those who disagreed, he said, were like “Neville Chamberlain, who told the British people, ‘Accept the Nazis.’ ”
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.
 
What a scumbag. Not a chance in hell.

They have their beliefs, you have yours....:shrug: I don't see where I asked anything tied to the bible though...
 
If the GOP doesn't alter their thinking Texas will be a blue state sooner or later. Damn right the Democrats will try to capture that ASAP, that puts the White House forever out of GOP hands.

If they don't change their thinking? From what to what? Oh, sure Dem Presidents forever! Yeah, they couldn't screw that up. I'd bet my bottom dollar that if they ever did get Texas, they would have an offsetting loss somewhere else. Who was the last conservative to run? Reagan. How did he do in those locked up democrat states?

I wouldn't say "no chance in hell". I would say little chance. But since our economy has been doing so well for so long and so many non-Texans have been migrating here from Liberal states looking for work, there is a possibility that enough dumb asses have come here and don't realize that their liberalism is the reason they had to come to Texas for a job.

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.

Cruz didn't have an impact??? Someone's not paying attention!
