re: Wendy Davis A True Texas Success Story???

if the children were the age of consent maybe they chose the father instead of her. that, to me, would be as bad as her just leaving the kids to the husband. i seen some people mention how could the courts let her leave the kids with an unrelated person, well if that unrelated person, the stepdad, had a big role in their lives and raised them as his own and they been with him more than the mother i dont see that being bad. its better then leaving them with an uncaring heartless cold bitch.

She was 17 and still in high school when she moved in with her boyfriend, a construction worker named Frank Underwood. She got pregnant, married and “some time between [age] 19 and 20 was when Frank and I separated,” she said.

Despite your whitewashing, she sounds like a shitty person. Sorry.

She may be shitty but call her shitty based on facts and not made up shite.

Abbot doesn't seem like a wonderful person himself. He won a $10 million personal injury suit after a tree fell on him while jogging leaving him in a wheelchair. Since he's attacked an opponent for being a personal injury attorney and has pushed for tort reform all the while being suit happy:

Here’s a typical workday for Texas’ attorney general: "I go into the office, I sue the federal government and I go home," Greg Abbott was quoted as saying to a tea party group in an April 30, 2013, Associated Press news story.

Speaking to FreedomWorks Texas in Austin on April 27, Abbott said, "I’ve sued the Obama administration now 25 times, over the last four years."

Last fall, the Associated Press tallied two dozen: Abbott "has filed 24 lawsuits against the federal government since Obama took office — litigation that has cost the state $2.58 million and more than 14,113 hours spent by staff and state lawyers working those cases," said a Sept. 9, 2012, news story.

Abbott spokeswoman Lauren Bean emailed us an updated list of Texas’ lawsuits against the federal government: three during President George W. Bush’s tenure and 27 since President Barack Obama’s Jan. 20, 2009, inauguration. (Abbott himself was sworn in Dec. 2, 2002.)

Outcomes of the 27 Obama-era lawsuits, by our count: five clear-cut "wins," eight "losses," four cases in which Texas agreed to dismiss its case when circumstances changed, nine cases in progress -- and one that could be called a partial win, perhaps: 2010’s 26-state challenge to Obamacare that ended with the Supreme Court declaring it was legal to tax individuals without health care, but states could not be required to expand Medicaid.

Anyone who defies the piece of shite Eric Holder on a daily basis is ok in my book.

Whether she was using the guy as her sugar daddy or not and the reasons for the guy getting custody of her children really dont matter. She is getting callled out for her story because she is intentionally misleading how she is portraying her success story. Her theme is that with hard work you can go from a single mother living in a trailer park to a Harvard law graduate. Not mentioning the fact that she had someone to pay for it all (regardless of how he paid for it) and take care of her children while she went off to school is misleading. She's already quoted in the article that she needs to be better at sharing more of the details.

Once again, not factual. She admitted her age was listed incorrectly (21 and not 19). The rest of the story has been known for a while. Here's her ex in Sept saying the same thing LINK

In November 2003 - the same month a Harvard loan was paid off - she left, Jeff said. "I made the last payment and laughed," he said. Wendy stressed that they used their family resources to make her education possible because they thought it was "beneficial for our family." "We took out a loan in that third year, and we paid it off as a family," she said, adding that she made "a nice income" as a lawyer and helped build their title company. Jeff describes it as his company but said she got half when it was sold during the divorce.

If she's such a horrible person, it would seem her ex and her daughters wouldn't be supporting her. But they are.

He's clearly not very bright. All this while some other dude(s) were getting the honey.
