    True. Again, though, we didn't personally kill him.

    Is it really necessary for me to explicitly specify that anti-semitism is wrong? I'm an INTJ. Bad arguments bother me.

      I seem to recall a passage from scripture that goes "Let his blood be upon us and on our children."
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        That was just a thing they said back then. It wouldn't be binding and it is no excuse for antisemitism!!!

          I really don't like this woman. She graduated from my high school and when I was there she came and gave some assembly speech. I don't remember most of it. I just remember that I thought she was horrifically stupid even then.

            Wow. One post after another, 34 by my count, basically saying that because Wendy Davis is a POS, so is anything she has to say! Almost no direct criticism of her position, all personal attacks.

            I've never met her, and I don't know anything about her, but I don't care. The merits of any political position are independent of the character of any individual politician.

            As far as I can tell, Davis became newsworthy for mounting a well-covered effort to filibuster away a truly terrible political policy. But perhaps most people here simply cannot grasp any difference between hating the policy, and hating the person promoting it.

              Exactly.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                So, for example, a pedophile would make a wonderful Governor, as long as he was a good administrator?

                Please demonstrate your understanding of the terrible political policy she filibustered.

                Thanks

                  You're not very good at counting then. This thread was, from the start, about her poor character. Her political positions, while execrable, are not really the subject of this thread.

                    I found it amusing that when Davis engaged in a filibuster the media portrayed it as courageously standing up for what she believed in but when Ted Cruz conducted a filibuster the same media characterized it as outrageous showboating

                      Phank,

                      I created a thread here to follow up on the "truly terrible political policy" of Texas Senate Bill 5.

                      Thanks


                      My apologies to Whag... I erroneously listed him as the source.

                          That's not whag. Unless you're purposefully switching them up in which case please carry on.

                            I had already apologized in post #40, but you may have been writing your post as I posted that. Nonetheless, yet another opportunity for me to say I goofed... yeah, I meant Phank.

                              Wendy, in her enthusiasm to be Governor of Texas, "enhanced her resume" a wee bit.

                              I like how she explained it to the Dallas Morning News....

                              "She has commented upon the discrepancies in the story about her early life, telling the Dallas Morning News, "My language should be tighter. I’m learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail.""

                              That's a political way of saying "I need to stick closer to the truth" without admitting she prevaricated.

                                Uh huh, right, her political positions never even crossed anyone's mind. She's just being singled out for the tar and feathers treatment because every other Texas legislature is a comparative saint - especially those who voted against Davis's position.

                                I've been reading this kind of thing for a long time now, and I have NEVER seen ANYONE attack the personal character of any politician whose policies they like. Nor, by sheer coincidence, do I see anyone on this thread who approves of her policies, piling on the denigration wagon.
