They're All Liars

Politicians in general, and democrats in particular...

Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator whose filibuster for abortion rights made her a Democratic superstar and launched her campaign for governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that she lied about key events in her life, including her first divorce. Davis may even have lied under oath, testifying in a federal lawsuit over redistricting that "I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old," when in fact she was divorced at age 21.

Other missing details have included: her second husband paid her way through law school and she divorced him the day after the last payment was made; her ex-husband accused her in initial court filings of adultery, and was awarded custody of their two daughters; and she first ran for city council in Fort Worth as a Republican.

"My language should be tighter,” she said, admitting her campaign biography has been less than truthful.

Here's some tight language for you, Wendy darlin':

STFU and go away!

Wendy Davis’ ex-husband: “They’ve asked me not to talk to reporters”

Wendy Davis, the progressive movement’s Texas darling because of her pro-late term abortion filibuster, is withering under revelations that much of her narrative of struggle and financial hardship is misleading at best, fabricated at worst.

The Wendy Davis campaign has been trying to keep Jeff Davis from speaking to the press for months.  According to the Houston Chronicle article:

“They’ve asked me not to talk to reporters,” (her ex-husband) said.

Now we know why.  Wendy Davis’ personal and campaign narratives don’t hold up to scrutiny.

It gets worse:

Wendy Davis’ Ex Asked a Court to Order Her Not to Use Drugs Before Seeing Her Kids

...her ex-husband asked a Texas District Court to issue a temporary restraining order against Wendy Davis in 2003.

In that order, the judge ordered that Wendy Davis “be immediately restrained from . . . using illegal drugs or consuming alcohol within 24 hours before or during the period of possession of or access to the child.”

Speaking of the child, at the time her twelve year old daughter requested her father serve as her managing conservator.

It appears that Wendy Davis did not just leave out key details. Nor does it appear that Davis is just being held to a different standard than a man. It appears there is much more to Wendy Davis than meets the eye.

Say what you will about Rick Perry (and I'm not a big fan of his), but 'Abortion Barbie' is much worse.

Let me be clear. This is not about the abortion issue. It is about an untruthful unqualified champion of a liberal cause potentially becoming the chief executive of a large political entity.

Sound familiar?
