I say, read your history books folks. This is nothing more than the time-honored American tradition of mudslinging, which increases exponentially the closer we get to an election. Wendy is just playing the game. Go Wendy! I live in Arlington TX. Wendy is being slammed by the douche-bag on wheels Abbot for abortion and outright lies about her "ethics", which is rich coming from such a POS as Abbot. She's closing the gap.
