Doakes Sunday: I Cried Because I Had No Shoes…No, Wait…

Posted on by

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

Wendy Davis is running for Governor of Texas.  She’s been trying to play the victim card – grew up poor, lived in a trailer house, worked her way through college and law school, husband left her – but it’s not working.

Turns out she lived in a trailer for about three months, her husband put her through college and Harvard Law School and she divorced him (and he got custody of the kids in a state like Texas, which tells you a lot about her).

Latest thing – she complains that her opponent doesn’t understand what it’s like to overcome adversity.  He hasn’t walked a mile in her shoes.  And now that she’s a candidate, he’s running scared.

The guy’s in a wheelchair.

Reminds me of the other runners complaining that Oscar Pistorius had an unfair advantage because hisaluminum legs didn’t tire.  Excuse Me, The Man Has No Blinking Legs!  And YOU think YOU are the victim here?  Unbelievable.

For Harvard-lawyer Wendy Davis to play the Victim card against a man in a wheelchair, leaves me with just one question:  Why do Democrats hate cripples?

 In a year when the two most prominent Harvard Law grads are Ryan “Uncle Tom” Winkler and Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis, I think HarvLaw needs to work on its PR.

  1. Thanks Joe for demonstrating that conservatives are continuing to wage culture war on women.

    And for showing, AGAIN, that you can produce inaccurate revisionist history on every topic.

    And of course, that conservatives are whiney guys who unfairly and unjustly claim to be victims when they are not.

    If Abbot isn’t man enough, wheelchair or not, to accept that running for office is a common term, just as blind people use the phase “I see what you mean”, then he has bigger problems than paralysis of body parts; his brain must have atrophied (or conservatives generally have that problem).

    Let’s get the Wendy Davis story straight — since you apparently don’t and can’t.

    She married at 18, was beginning to get a divorce at 19, that divorce was finalized when she was approximately 20. Her first husband left her and her child, and she lived in a trailer, and in other inexpensive housing during that period.

    She then qualified for Harvard after putting herself through community and other college, and during that interval, she remarried. Her second husband, who REMAINS A HUGE FAN AND SUPPORTER OF HER, did NOT put her through college, he did not pay for it all. He contributed towards part of her college education, but she paid for a substantial amount of hit herself.

    Many women do the same thing for their husbands, and many husbands do so for their wives, to help them be more successful and to enable them to progress in their chosen careers. THAT does not make them a sugar daddy (or sugar mommy).

    NOR does anyone who actually knows Wendy Davis and her family assert that she was in any way a bad mother. Rather, her children were old enough to choose where they wanted to live, and chose to live with her ex-husband; she in turn contributed alimony, and actively and successfully shared parenting duties.

    Abbott, as I understand it, came from a more stable and affluent background, and did not engage in similar bootstrapping when he went to college. And after getting out of law school, he received an extremely large settlement for an accident that provided him millions, far MORE than anyone else would get in Texas NOW.

    WHY?
    Because Abbott made sure that subsequent defendants had an unfair DISadvantage.

    Democrats FAVOR fair compensation for people who are injured. Republicans do not; Republicans are hypocrites who hate cripples, even, apparently, when they are themselves impaired, so long as they got their loot first.

    PRO-Women/PRO-Choice/PRO-Constitutional Rights ‘Barbie’, as you demeaningly and sexistly call Wendy Davis, is going to kick, metaphorically, Abbott’s ass.

    Lying is losing, Doakes, and as ever, the right has to lie to get sympathy because the facts are not your friends and truth and justice is not on your side.

  2. one question DG, does this mean that like Mitch, Mr Doakes is a racist?

    oh on the fact checking front abortion barbie filed for divorce when she was 20 and the divorce was finalized when she was 21 at least thats what the court records show.

  3. It means that many conservatives are racist, and too many of the rest tolerate racism, as well as misogyny.

    Wendy Davis is not a hollow plastic doll with exaggerated secondary sexual characteristics.

    Wendy Davis appears to have been separated from her husband and begun the divorce proceedings when she was 19. Nitpicking when a divorce begins by an arbitrary filing date is ridiculous, as is defining the date of a divorce by final decree; it appears she sought the divorce services of a lawyer while she was still 19.

    I note you don’t have anything to refute my assertion that conservatives hate those who suffer disability as indicated by the Texas legislation, or that Abbott in particular is a hypocrite.

  5. Pingback: Conservatives are not only racist, they are sexist and misogynistic

  8. Dog Gone, you are clearly the most race obsessed person who has ever commented on SITD.
    I can guarantee you I have spent far, far more time living with minorities than you have. I graduated from West High School in Minneapolis in 1977. I live in zip code 96785.
    So shut the fuck up about race, will you? You don’t know what you are talking about.

  9. BGRC; my god you must be living in hell – the weather site says its 65F at 96785.with a projected daytime high of 80F. How do you tolerate it?

  10. Doggy, you ignorant twit! Apparently, you missed the video of her supporters making fun of him and his wheel chair AND talking casually (and callously) about commiting voter fraud; with one of the commies even stating that “people do that all the time!” you now, the crime that YOU keep insisting is a GOP fantasy? Further, you must have missed Abbott’s response where he DID NOT PLAY the victim card like you lefties do all the time, stating that “Denigrating the disabled is unworthy of Texas.” Of course, people like you usually don’t engage your brain before sticking you feet in your mouths. If I were Davis, I would immediately jail those criminals for that voter fraud.
    Wendy Davis is nothing but a user, like all Democrats are. After her husband raided his 401k to pay for her liberat indoctrination, she dumped him as soon as she graduated.

    But, you know, at least Wendy was truthful about her education program; “It’s dynamic and will take on ideas like a ship takes on water,” which is appropriate since she’s merely comparing hers to the sinking ship that our public education system is.

  11. Dog Gone paraphrased:

    “I note you ignored my baseless assumptions about what most conservatives think based on the silly tangents I bring up that highlight the fact that I cannot (or will not?) understand the simplest underpinnings of conservative philosophy”

  12. Republican parapalegic candidates should be thick-skinned enough to toss off insensitive comments.

    But Harvard-lawyer Democrat candidates should be sensitive enough not to make them.

    Blaming the victim to shield the thoughtless is not what people usually mean by “war on women.”

  15. Doggone, when someone is running for public office, then it is fair to take a look at public records. Those records say her divorce was completed when she was 21, not 19, and that the only lived in the trailer for three months. Moreover, public records also say that the ex-husband did pay for a portion of her education, that she moved out the day after getting her law degree, and that she lost custody of both of her children, one of which was not his, in the divorce, a divorce in which the allegation was made she’d been cheating on her husband.

    Finally, public records make clear that Ms. Davis asked a paraplegic to walk a mile in her shoes. In other words, her record suggests that she’s done quite well taking advantage of the gullible and abusing those who get in her way. We’ve got that in the White House right now, and I don’t believe that they need that in Austin, too.

  16. Let’s not forget that in 2004, a few weeks before the election, the Left used forged documents to accuse W of being AWOL from the TNG in 1975. And the forged documents were so crappy, and their origins were so poorly confirmed, that heads rolled at CBS when the obvious forgeries were exposed, literally within hours of the story being broadcast. The supposed source of the docs was a crank with a grudge against W going back to his days as governor of TX, and the source said he had to provide a photocopy because he had burned the original. Didn’t say why he had burned the original. He got the original, he said, from someone whose name he could not remember.
    Rather and Maples were responsible for the shoddy work they did on the story. Both are extreme left-wingers and very highly paid, impeccably credentialed ‘journalists’.

  17. Mapes stated that the documents have never been proved to be forgeries. Ross expressed the view that the responsibility is on the reporter to verify their authenticity. Mapes responded with, “I don’t think that’s the standard.”

    This is the DG standard, she makes any baseless claim she likes and if you don’t immediately prove her wrong it then becomes absolutely true.

  18. By the way, I’d argue that the two most reprehensible graduates of Harvard Law School live in the White House. You know, the guy who ignored Marbury vs. Madison regarding the Health Insurance Deform Act, and the gal who used the law to keep poor people out of the University of Chicago hospitals’ emergency rooms.
