The Crying Game
First Juan Garica threw a 6 year old temper tantrum on the playground after someone stomped all over his sand castle, and now Wendy Davis is following suit. It is now growing very apparent (at least to this blogger) that the democrat game plan for this November is to cry their way to victory.
For those who have not followed, Ms. Davis is red in the face because incumbent Senator Kim Brimer has filed a lawsuit questioning the legality of her candidacy, citing that she violated our state’s resign to run laws. A similar lawsuit filed by firefighters from the area was thrown out by a Judge who concluded that it was only Mr. Brimer’s place to question her candidacy, so here we are. And as to be expected, Ms. Davis is bawling like a newborn baby.
Consider the following comments by Ms. Davis:
“This is the latest example of Kim Brimer’s brand of loophole leadership that has left voters frustrated and hungry for positive change.”
“Senator Brimer, I stand here with the very people you ignore while in Austin and now seek to silence at the ballot box. We are ready! We ask you to stop hiding behind lawyers and political consultants and step forward to demand that this lawsuit is handled immediately so that we can address the issues important to Tarrant County families.”
Man, after this I sure would hate to see Ms. Davis after her bills don’t see the light of day. No one is turned on by runny mascara, so here’s my advice to Ms. Davis…chill out, have a drink (maybe two), get a massage, and most importantly…stop your temper tantrum.
You got your quick hearing date, July 22, so this whole thing will be over and behind us in time to get back to “the issues important to Tarrant County families”. Plus, you’re probably going to win this lawsuit. And that’s fine. Personally, I would rather lose this seat than win it this way. So relax, go to the movies, read a good book in a hot bath, do whatever it is you do to unwind.
The hearing date is set, and given the precedence set by the Bill Dingus ruling, I really don’t think that Ms. Davis has much to worry about. But the number one reason that she needs to quit her crying…Ms. Davis brought this on herself. After all, if she would have more closely consulted the resign to run laws, this all would have been avoided by her not creating the appearance of possibly violating the law.
So Ms. Davis, a little personal responsibility here. You called upon Senator Brimer to come forward in favor of a quick hearing. Now I call upon you to come forward and admit that this is - in part - your own doing.
Because, for all the posturing you do for the “voters”, I don’t think the “voters” are too interested in electing someone whose going to pass the buck to cover up their own short comings.
Bottom line, no one likes a crybaby, so please, end the crying game.

Better get used to the crying - the GOP is going to be doing a lot of it after Nov 4. Have you ever heard the cries a State Rep makes when he loses his chairmanship? You can hear the wailing all the way down in the lower level of the Capitol extension!

Good post, you are right no one likes a crybaby, not very Texan.
el_longhorn: are you saying the state house will be a demoncratic majority? Keep thinking that.

If I was a betting man, I would say it will be 75-75.

El Longhorn -
Very bold prediciton. No one ever takes the push, they either go over or under.
If you are right, I’ll give you mad props.
