Single Teen Mom? Texas's Wendy Davis Lied About Life Story
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jan 2014, 6:50 PM PDT | Joel B. Pollak

Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator whose filibuster for abortion rights made her a Democratic superstar and launched her campaign for governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that she lied about key events in her life, including her first divorce. Davis may even have lied under oath, testifying in a federal lawsuit over redistricting that "I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old," when in fact she was divorced at age 21.

Other missing details have included: her second husband paid her way through law school and she divorced him the day after the last payment was made; her ex-husband accused her in initial court filings of adultery, and was awarded custody of their two daughters; and she first ran for city council in Forth Worth as a Republican.

"My language should be tighter,” she said, admitting her campaign biography has been less than truthful.

It is not clear whether the article in the Dallas Morning News, by senior political writer Wayne Slater, is meant to be an exposé or a defense, presenting embarrassing details in the best light possible to present an overall picture of competence. One unidentified source, who said that Davis is "going to figure out a way to spin herself in a way that grabs at the heart strings," is also quoted as saying that "she’d be a good governor."

Regardless, the fact that Davis "blurred" her biography raises questions about her integrity. Her ex-husbandsaid she should not have needed to lie--that her real life is "a better narrative than what they’re trying to paint.”

The media tend to protect Democrats--notably, Barack Obama, Davis's contemporary at Harvard Law School--when they present false "composites" of their lives. . .

Getting found out is inconsequential to people who have no conscience. She will always say what is necessary at any particular moment without regard to accountability.

What’s her Campaign Slogan, “a free Catheter with every Abortion”?

We need to start referring to telling a lie as telling a “Dem.”

If she loses, the MSM will simply say that her lies weren’t no consequence in comparison to being another “casualty” in...”The War on WomenTM.”

I’m continually amazed at the things political people say to avoid that which is obvious to everyone else.

She’s a liar, like all Democrats, so she is definitely in the right political party

She sounds like a pyschopathic bitch on wheels, a potential danger to herself and others, especially small children and the unborn.

Davis needs to be in an insane asylum, not the governors mansion.

The democrat voters and their media are ok if one of their own lies. Hence they (democrat voters) are treated like sheep.

I’d like to know how she makes a living today. She doesn’t get paid enough as a state legislature to live on.

Amazing what a good plastic surgeon can do. (I’m not being snarky...there are “before” pictures floating around.)

I have no control, I just go with superficial analysis :-)
