Report: Wendy Davis' life story more complicated than compelling narrative (CNN/Pravda reports)
CNN ^ | 1/20/2014 | Ashley Killough

(CNN) - Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis admitted in an interview with the Dallas Morning News that she hasn't been totally accurate about her life's story, a compelling narrative she has used to appeal to voters in Texas and bolster her national profile.

"My language should be tighter," the Democratic state senator said. "I'm learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail."

After her marathon filibuster against proposed abortion laws in the Texas legislature last summer, Davis was propelled to the national stage. The attention gave her the support and encouragement to announce a bid for governor in October.

She frequently shared her biography both before and after she started running for governor, saying she was a single mother by the age of 19 and lived in a trailer with her young daughter. From there, she eventually put herself through community college, Texas Christian University, and Harvard Law School with the help of scholarship and loans.

The Morning News, however, reported over the weekend that Davis became a single mother at 21, not 19, when she got divorced from her then-husband, who was directed to pay child support.

"She lived only a few months in the family mobile home while separated from her husband before moving into an apartment with her daughter," writes Wayne Slater, the paper's senior political writer.

Davis' campaign released a statement later Monday to clarify some of the details from her life.

"Report: Wendy Davis' life story more complicated than compelling narrative"

See, Wendy Davis didn't really "lie" in federal testimony... it's just you dolts don't understand how "complicated" the facts are in her compelling fictional narrative...

“compelling narrative” = “Lie”

“My language should be tighter,” the Democratic state senator said. “I’m learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail.”

That bit right there tells you everything you need to know about her.

She should go far in the Democratic Party, just like Elizabeth Warren and her lies.

In other words she's learning to lie in a more convincing manner or to change the subject when she can't answer.

Remember Carville talking about dragging a fifty dollar bill through a trailer park?Wendy Davis is the kind of trash that would latch on.

So what’s new? That is the creed of the demonkrats and other factionas of the left. When most of society reallyh doesn’t care it really won’t change a thing.

Wendy Davis is a typical Liberal. Phony. Dishonest. Lacking in any Moral Character what-so-ever. Unprincipled.

These character short-comings permeate the democRAT party, throughout.

I defy anybody to provide evidence to the contrary.

Want to know the real Wendy, check out the conditions she had to meet for visitation with the kids. Seems odd for a woman to lose custody of the kids and pay alimony.

Exploitative, self involved and uses lying as a go to strategy for succeeding in life. Do we really need another lawyer like that in political office?

“Girl Scouts Promote ‘Incredible’ Wendy Davis on ‘Women of Year’ List”

This is so sad. I noticed last year that the GS selling cookies outside of Krogers were not the usual, aggressive kids they had been in the past.(I’m guessing they were told to cool it since their association with Planned Parenthood). This year I see signs in yards—”It’s Girl Scout cookie time) I guess if one really wanted to buy cookies, one would now have to go to the designated house now that the GS leadership have taken it upon themselves to put the girls in the middle of abortion controversies.

"Hey, dontcha know—liberal “victime” CAN’T lie—they simply misspeak."

Which is exactly what the NYT said about Obama's "you can keep your plan" statements. He didn't "lie"... the poor guy "clearly misspoke" (37 times!)...

She’s apparently a kid hater and a soldier in the ‘Rat War on Kids.

That’s a bunch of crap that doesn’t mean anything. She’s a Harvard trained lawyer and she can’t figure out how to have the truth come out of her mouth??????????
