White women didn’t just fail Wendy Davis — they failed the rest of Texas, too
Salon ^ | November 6, 2014 | Jenny Kutner

Posted on 11/06/2014 10:41:23 AM PST by C19fan

I am well aware that Wendy Davis lost the Texas governor’s race by a wide margin. It’s salt in a very personal wound. Her campaign meant a lot to me, and to so many other Texas women — thousands of whom stood in line for hours to cast their ballots in support. Greg Abbott won anyway, and he won by a lot. But he didn’t win by a lot across the demographic landscape.

I went to the Texas Tribune first for a dissection of the election results, and one piece of information struck me as particularly… wrong. The Tribune cited CNN exit polls to illustrate the landslide, saying Abbott “beat Davis by lopsided margins with white voters (72-27), men (65-34) and women (52-47). Davis beat Abbott among Latinos (57-42) and African-Americans (93-7).” Last time I checked, though, there were thousands upon thousands of women in Texas considered Latina and African-American — what about their votes?

>>there is no duty to vote GOP, they do not own my vote

I agree completely. But, you can’t complain when the Democrats win either. You could, but it would be hypocrisy.

You expressed an opinion——you did not state a fact.

I can’t refute an opinion-—all opinions are valid-—they aren’t facts.

Somehow, if the group that pays for everything in this country didn’t exist,

the rest of the country would be happier.

Thus you have to think if you’re a democrat.

I think they need to condescend more and bully the stupid electorate into voting for them.

They just didn’t do enough of that this time.

I’m not sure, really, if they want to stuff us in gas chambers, or put us in chains.

Either way, they have to disarm me first ... and that might not be enough.

(And that’s why they support gun control ...)

“Single women who vote for democrats are voting for a surrogate husband in the form of a gov’t that provides for and protects them.”

OK, explain why this statement is “stupid”, if you think you can.

The Other McCain blog tracks wacko feminist stuff. He linked to a site that envisioned a Final Solution to the male problem.

A fine example of the blind leading the blind leading the blind

We should send the illegals to Manhattan to marry all those liberal single white women. :)

She claims she stood in line for hours? Geesh not many people voted this election. Took me maybe 10 minutes if that. I think this author has a tendency to exaggerate.

This broad has it all wrong. Wendy Davis failed Texas by being a sniveling leftist. That is all.
