Wendy Davis gains nothing from engaging Bristol Palin on the subject of responsible motherhood

Wendy Davis needs to remember one important thing: She is running for governor of Texas, and for now, her focus needs to be on the Democratic primary. Period. Which means she doesn’t have to answer to Rush Limbaugh or any other GOP commentator on the national stage. She is not vying for Rush’s vote, nor is she going to win over the kinds of Texas voters who listen regularly to Rush Limbaugh. So who cares what he thinks?

Doubly so for Bristol Palin. The daughter of embarrassingly disastrous GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has zero political insights that are worth anyone’s time. None. Her only claim to fame is that she emerged pregnant and unmarried just as her mom was chosen as John McCain’s running mate. Bristol got her own reality show, which also was a disaster. She was on Dancing with the Stars.

But because Bristol blogged last week about Wendy Davis, drawing comparisons between their incomparable experiences with single motherhood, Bristol has managed to draw Wendy Davis onto today’s front page of The New York Times. (Bristol’s blog item came up in a video interview, and Davis responded to the interviewer’s question, thereby giving Bristol undeserved traction.) Once again, the nation is talking about Davis’s imprecise personal history. And yet, nobody seems to have anything new or insightful to say. It’s all the same rehash....

The sugar baby Davis got caught lying. Pure and simple she used her body to get through law school. She abandoned her children so she could go to college and she lied about her past to make herself look like a victim who overcame great odds. She had a silver spoon in her mouth but it just was not hers. There are a lot of truths in her history but they do not make her look good or honorable or honest.

She is simply a goldbricking liar.

This writer sounds so b*tchy.

My first impression was that the writer of this is a female, but not the kind any man likes much.

[bigbob]

You’d think she’d be smart enough to know this if she thinks she’s smart enough to be Governor.

The only difference here is that Bristol Palin is actually raising her kid.

In Wendy’s case it doesn’t matter if she gets involved in losing, pointless for her, debates. She is going to lose no matter what she does.

Leftist love to gloss over controversies of their candidates, like Wendy is a fraud; we all know it, so let’s move on. Problem is she is still a fraud, and shouldn’t be moving on anywhere.

If Wendy can’t take the heat of a little national attention, she should run for something more suited to her status, like dog catcher.

Todd, who gave up her kids, and who’s taken care of hers?

G’night now.

[Balding_Eagle]

Same here, and the same for millions

[tflabo]

Whose sleuthing down the streets of Dem cities, lying to everybody she meets, whose faking out the minds of her dummies, everyone knows its Wendy.
And Wendy tells stormy lies, flashing her mascara eyes, and likes to see babies die, for womens rights, its her delights.

[TBP]

Bristol will eat her for lunch.

[P-Marlowe]

Bristol Palin will be governor of Texas before Wendy Davis.

What a joke this Wendy Davis has turned out to be! Davis is using pure Alinsky tactics, like a good Commie: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In this case, they make Sarah Palin the human face of the opposition. By personalizing it, it causes the opposition to "come out of the woodwork" in support of Sarah Palin. They can all be painted with the same broad brush. Then it allows the demonization process. Those who want to be on the side of good will 100% oppose those who are painted as bad. That's the tactic.

I say, turn the tables on them. If I could do the photo shop, I would show Wendy Davis punching Pope Francis in the stomach. The headline would be "Wendy Davis Punches Pope Francis Over Free Birth Control." In my case, I can only ridicule her this way:

Wendy Davis Punches Pope in Nose Over Free Contraceptives

stopped reading after “embarrisingly disastrous”

[free-in-nyc]

"embarrassingly disastrous GOP vice presidential candidate..."

Kind of funny for a supporter of Wendy Davis to refer to any other candidate as "embarassingly disastrous..."

[ozzymandus]

Gee, another RAT editorial? What a surprise. This comrade thinks Palin was “embarrasing”? How anout Wendy and her lies, tovarich?

[sayfer bullets]

Yes, because “disasters” always ignite the party base and cause campaign signs to be made with the VP on top...

blind hatred does nothing but make mediocre writing look even worse.

[RitaOK]

Good point.

[RitaOK]

Actually Windy Davis was responding to Bristol’s blogpost or facebook comment to Windy, wherein she defends proLife, and opposes Windy’s stand for abortion.

(That would be WEndy with an “i”. :)
