Overnight Star Wendy Davis Condemns Politicians Using Abortion 'To Boost Political Aspirations'

Latest dispatch from the Department of Pot-Meet-Kettle. On today's Face the Nation, Texas state senator Wendy Davis, who overnight went from being a national unknown to a rising star who today appeared on count-em three Sunday talk shows, has accused politicians of using the abortion issue "to boost their own political aspirations."

Davis also accused Texas Governor Rick Perry and Lt. Governor David Dewhurst of putting thousands of Texas women "in harm's way in order for them to step up the political ladder." Bob Schieffer never called Davis on her hypocrisy.

Sure, we expect politicians to be a bunch of hypocrites. But for sheer, breathtaking gall, hard for me to top this in recent times. Ping to Today show list.

So how come this ‘’overnight star’’ isn’t being treated like Sarah Palin was treated by the media when she became an overnight star? Hmmmmm could it possibly be the d after her name

No life in her eyes-—the windows to the soul. The Texas Tea Party needs to ‘boot’ her political asspirations. Extra s for the donkey in her.

How does that work?

Abort all future conservative voters???

Demographics would point to abortees being future liberal voters.

Oh, I know. She is just too smart, and the issue too complex for me to understand.

I just should go and abort myself at 3416 weeks.

Solve everything.

Make them look at the pictures. Better yet, like Dr. Oz does on his tv show, lift the towel & show them what abortion looks like.

I have zero respect for this dead soul Wendy. But she is correct in one sense: the democrips have used support and promotion of abortion as an empowerment scheme for decades, and the republicants have used the opposition to the democrips’ support as their empowerment scheme. If republicants really gave a damn about the slaughter of millions of alive unborn children, they would have passed legislation severely limiting the slaughter when they controlled the House, Senate, and White House not that long ago. They didn’t so they showed they didn’t want to end their demagoguery issue.

That's why they're busily importing socialists from south of the border to maintain a demand for their product.

A new leftist star is born. DemoRats NEVER allow those to be aborted.
“Every leftist Star a planned and wanted Star”.
