Wendy’s perfect response to Gov. Perry’s move..

[busterbrown]

From Daily Kos: Written by Leslie Salzillo Here was Wendy Davis' response to Gov. Perry..


“Misplaced priorities of legislative leaders squandered a tremendous opportunity to make much needed improvements in our transportation infrastructure and help create good jobs and bring businesses to Texas. Despite urging by responsible members of the Senate to bring up the matter of transportation, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst derailed as much as much as $1 billion per year in transportation funding by stubbornly pushing divisive, failed legislation attacking women’s health care options.

If leaders are serious about using this second called special session to improve the lives of Texans by repairing and expanding our transportation networks, they will find no greater ally than me. If they intend to keep pushing their extreme personal political agenda ahead of the interests of Texas families, I will not back off of my duty to fight on their behalf.”

15. OH HELL YES!

I can't praise her enough for standing up for her (and her constituents') principles! Show em how it's done!

[paland99]

3. This woman has a BIG future!

People will be hearing much more about her.

[duhneece]

4. Wendy for President? 2016? 2020? 2024?

I love this woman so much right now.

7. More likely Wendy for Governor...

in a poll before this incident and without much name recognition, she was running only 6 pts. behind Perry (41 to 47). She has better name recognition now, for the best possible reasons.

[Fearless]

14. +1

10. Not yet

what's her vies on a) foreign policy and development assistance b) multilateral organisations c) BRICS especially the C d) and a whole range of other issues,

[caraher]

22. These are important things

but I think what a lot of us are responding to is that she is a fighter, and we need more of that.

I'd rather have someone like her who will lay it on the line when she needs to over someone who agrees with me on every element of policy, in a theoretical sense, but winds up unable to make progress against stiff, often-unprincipled opposition.

17. How About Elizabeth Warren and Wendy Davis

.... now there is a ticket worth wishing and dreaming for!

[duhneece]

23. They're right, of course, and I'm NOT a one-issue voter

but I am still so wildly crazy about Wendy Davis. Your linking these two women really makes me smile to think of that.

12. Very good response...and so true.

In Texas, our roads and bridges are in bad shape because Governor Goodhair has been trying to hold out for toll roads.

[TRoN33]

13. Whoa, Wendy Davis literally sounds like being a true leadership and a...

Governor-type kind of politician! Rick Perry, you already got serious challenger if you are running for fourth term! I already intended to donate to her campaign to kick you the hell out of Austin!

16. Thanks. Can you provide a link? I'd like to share it. Thanks.

[busterbrown]

19. It was on the Daily Kos yesterday..

I tried to search it, but I’m terrible at this stuff..

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. I tried to search for it, too. I'll try again. Thanks!

18. Great. I thought that the restaurant chain had brought out a new "Idiot burger".

[KansDem]

20. "Idiot burger"

munch, munch...snort...munch...grunt...munch, munch...slurp...munch...snort, grunt, slurp...garble, garble...

[Please proceed]

24. Idiot Burger, is that Hamilton

Burger's grandson in the photo?

[Grateful for Hope]

21. You are right.

Perfect.

26. I thought it perfect for her to say Perry demeaned the office with his personal comments.

That's how politics should be conducted. It's one of the qualities I admire in the current president.

Mudslinging in elections is one thing, but while in office? Classy as a shithouse rat's dinner party.
