Complete title: Alongside the mother who tried to kill her as a child, a tearful Wendy Davis concedes defeat after trouncing in Texas

Wendy Davis has reassured her supporters their campaign was not fought in vain as she conceded defeat on stage alongside her mother who almost killed her when she was a child.

Davis, who broke down in tears as she gave her concession speech, had earlier called Republican Greg Abbot to congratulate him on his landslide victory. She told supporters at the Davis campaign's Forth Worth election party they must continue fighting despite a landslide victory for her Republican opponent Greg Abbot...

Wendy Davis is not a hero. She is a kindred spirit of Kermit Gosnell and supported the "right" to kill a baby in the womb in the 5th month of pregnancy, a baby scientifically proven to feel pain at that stage. With more than 60% of Texans agreeing that abortion should be banned at 20 weeks.

Perhaps her and her "significant other" will disappear into the footnotes of history...

Liberal tears. They are so sweet to the taste.

There is no crying in politics. If you need to cry, do it when you’re alone.

Good Lord. What is she bawling about? Did she really believe her own BS that she could have won?

Destroyed. Better than a 3:2 margin.

Note for later reflection: seeing the map of counties in Texas that she carried, almost all of them are Mexican border lands.

Depression among the rats who lost and their voters will approach epic numbers.

Also, we will see and hear depressive rants among the so called republicans, who really hate Republicans more than the rats.

How to Gloat about this election by an old time Freeper, JohnHuang2 .

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3223389/posts

GOP dominates midterms, takes control of Senate
The Washington Post | 11-5-2014 | David A. Fahrenthold
Posted on 11/5/2014, 12:26:57 AM by JohnHuang2

Republicans scored a stunning electoral rout in the midterm elections, taking control of the U.S. Senate after a bitter campaign in which anger at Washington gridlock was turned against a president who took office promising to transcend it. Full article here


Tonight we saw nothing short of a historic outbreak of mass sanity across America. Sooooo, to gloat or not to gloat. That’s the question tonight. I’m leaning heavily against any gloating.
It’s not an easy decision because the shellacking the Democrats took across the country tonight — a magnificent display of Democrats’ Electile Dysfunction — presents such a target-rich environment.

For example, the contest in Arkansas. Here you’ve had what amounted to a family dynasty. It went down in flames tonight. But to top it all, Mark Pryor was brought down by a chap the media not long ago laughed off as having not a snowball’s chance in hell of winning! A 37-year-old Congressional freshman named Tom Cotton beating a Pryor? In Arkansas? Ha, no way. But am I going to gloat over it, or even mention it? Nope.

Speaking of losers running on big family names, Michelle Nunn (Senate candidate) and Jason Carter (Gubernatorial candidate) similarly went down in flames in Georgia tonight. But I’m not gonna gloat about it nor even mention the fact that the experts were confidently predicting the Senate race would definitely head to a run-off. David Perdue winning outright? Against a Nunn? In Georgia? Not gonna happen.

Nor will you hear a peep from non-gloating me about the drubbing Democrats received in Colorado’s Senate race tonight. The Democrat incumbent, Sen. Mark Uterus, flogged the “war on women” meme throughout the Campaign. He fancied himself being able to rouse that dead horse to victory. This was, after all, the meme that was supposed to be the Democrats’ silver bullet because it worked for Obama, whose reelection was saved at the last minute by a woman named Hurricane Sandy.

Unfortunately for the Democrats in Colorado, there was nothing to save the world-renowned expert on female genitalia from defeat at the hands of Cory Gardner. But! Since I’m not gloating, no mention of any of this from me.

Indeed, if I were gloating, I would definitely mention the GOP upset victory in North Carolina, but I’m not. Here again, experts insisted that Kay Hagan had victory in the bag even though her polls sucked. Democrats bragged that the high turnout of early voters would seal Thom Tillis’s fate. “I think we’ve got the momentum,” Hagan proclaimed over the weekend. But, again, you won’t hear me gloat nor even mention any of this once.

I suppose I could gloat about Wendy Davis’s shellacking in Texas (but I won’t). She was supposed to turn Texas purple if not blue on the basis that she held up passage of a measure against late-term abortions. She became an instant heroine to the abortion lobby. Vogue magazine featured her on its cover. The Abortion Barbie raised over a million bucks in mere weeks after her pro-abort filibuster. Liberals were certain that being pro-abortion and making fun of people in wheelchairs were winning formulas in Texas. She lost by 20 points to a guy in a wheelchair. But if you thought I was going to gloat about it or even mention it, you’d be mistaken.

In fact, not gonna mention Gov. Scott Walker winning reelection in Wisconsin nor Joni Ernst becoming Iowa’s first female U.S. Senator after trouncing Bruce “Bailey”. Since I’m not gloating, my lips are also sealed about Pat Roberts winning reelection in Kansas and Steve Daines winning in Montana and Mike Rounds winning in South Dakota and Shelley Moore Capito winning in West Virginia and Mia Love becoming the first African-American GOP Congresswoman.

Oh, one more thing . . .

Harry Reid — you’re fired! Heh, heh, heh! I’m still not gloating though! Honest!

Anyway, that’s ...

My Two Cents

Yesterday was a crushing defeat for babykillers. TN overruled their activist courts with a constitutional ammendment allowing them to regulate the industry into extinction.
