Vile Tweet Attack Against Wendy Davis

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/01/25/tea-party-republican-spews-vile-sexist-twitter-attacks-at-wendy-davis/

snip:
Kincannon has enlarged upon early Republican attacks on Davis, insinuating that because she supports a woman’s right to choose, she must be a promiscuous, man-eating tramp. Calling her a “coke whore” and insinuating that she cheated on her then-husband, Kincannon wrote, at one point, “I don’t care if folks attack Wendy Davis unfairly. I just want her attacked.”

I see this as warming up the water for really vile attacks on Hillary Clinton if she runs. These attacks are likely to make the Whitewater and Monica attacks look extremely tame by comparison.

1. The Rs are a party in its last throes of power. They will say or do anything to maintain it.

Davis obviously scares the shit out of them as she has a respectable chance at winning. If she doesn't win in 2014, she almost certainly will in 2018 with Texas going for the Dems in 2016 or 2020. We can start restoring some sanity to this country once that happens.

Excuse me, but I hope we get to steal her in 2016 for Prez. Texas doesn't know a good thing when they have it. She would make a great VP or President IMO.
