Coulter - The Heroism of Wendy Davis
Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC || 01/23/2014 10:49 || Comments || Link || [3 views] Top|| File under:

#1  This was a great line....

Davis also said these attacks "won't work, because my story is the story of millions of Texas women ..." Yes, for example, Anna Nicole Smith. Though at least Smith had the decency not to ask for a paid education.

#2  ...Ms. Davis got where she is by vampiring off the labors of another. As such, she is a "shoe-in" for the Dems / Progressives / Whatever...

#3  Yea, but at least she's a good mom.

#4  Vampiring? She hated poverty, and he hated loneliness. Nothing lasts forever. It was a win-win until school was out.

#5  Even Texas has a limit of sugar daddies. So Wendy and her gals will just tax heck out of the rest of the male population to make up the difference. Such is the power of government, that's a principle in the beltway.

#6  Gee Besoeker, that's much nicer than whoring cowbird.

#7  Ann Coulter read my mind here:

The reason Wendy Davis' apocryphal story was impressive is that single mothers have to run a household, take care of kids and provide for a family all by themselves. But Wendy was neither supporting her kids, nor raising them. If someone else is taking care of your kids and paying your tuition, that's not amazing.

Hey -- maybe Jeff Davis should run for governor! He's the one who raised two kids, including a stepdaughter, while holding down a job and paying for his wife's law school. There's a hard-luck story!

#8  You have to love the media bias toward the left. Davis' failed filibuster is heroic and Cruz's was an epic fail and destructive to our system of governing.

#9  "Every kiss begins with a student loan payment check." Kay Jewelers is so boring these days.

#10  Abortion Barbie is more than welcome to keep running. She as no chance of winning in Texas. Especially after saying her opponent had not seen hardship and hadn't walked a day in her shoes. Problem for her is her opponent's father die ad when he was 16 so he put himself thru law school, and more importantly, he has been paraplegic and in a wheelchair since age 26.

Keep throwing money into Texas you abortion backing morons, it makes it easier to outspend you in raves that matter. We will beat you and preserve the millions of lives you support destroying, by making abortion illegal in most circumstances as it should be.

#11  Abortion is a societal curse and those who participate and support it are gutless, cold blooded murderers. Little wonder we are in decline.

Just my personal opinion.

Hawkish McCain Likens Obama to Jimmy Carter on Syria
[An Nahar] Senior U.S. politician John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
accused President Barack Obama
I inhaled. That was the point...
on Wednesday of risking a Middle East regional conflagration by failing to show leadership on the crisis in Syria.

The conservative senator and former presidential candidate, an influential Washington foreign policy hawk, compared Obama to former president Jimmy Carter
... the worst president ever. Maybe the second worst. The votes aren't all in yet...
, widely seen here as weak.

McCain, a former navy pilot who was made prisoner during the Vietnam War, is a strong advocate of robust support for Syrian rebels seeking to oust Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators...

Speaking to a radio station in his home state of Arizona, the Republican senator said U.S. indecisiveness and inaction had made the situation in Syria even worse.

So far the administration has resisted McCain's call for the United States to send weapons and other material support to the rebels in Syria, to the U.S. senator's great frustration.

"It has turned to a tragedy of mammoth proportions," he said. "It's becoming a regional conflict. It's spread to Leb, it's spread to Turkey, it's spread to Jordan.

"I have never seen anything like this in my life. I thought Jimmy Carter was bad, but he pales in comparison to this president, in my view."

Carter, who served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, when he was ousted by Republican candidate Ronald Reagan, is dismissed by conservatives as dovish and ineffectual.

#1  Too little too late Johnny boy. You've sold out too many times and the act is wearing thin. I suggest you retire. And FYI McStain, many of us came to that conclusion 5+ years ago - what took you so long?

#2  Don't you wish?!

#3  'an influential Washington foreign policy hawk'

Unfortunately the McCain/Graham hawkish doctrine includes support for the Muslim Brotherhood and support for the imposition of Sharia on non-Muslims in the West.

During the Cold War an equivalent to McCain and Graham would have been to the left of Gus Hall and the CPUSA.

#4  McCain is a fool.
Posted by: jvalentour || 01/23/2014 8:09 Comments || Top||

#5  Can't figure out why McCain is so hopped up about Arabs killing Arabs unless some of them are slipping him a little on the side. I figure as long as their distracted by their own little squabbles they'll leave Israel be.

#6  McCain = Buck Turgidson.
Posted by: Zhang Fei || 01/23/2014 16:27 Comments || Top||

#7  Actually, Jimmy Carter is looking better each day of the Champ's administration that passes.
