Worse than Wendy

by Morgan Williamson

Thanks to several media blitzes, Republican voters all over Texas—and honestly, all over America—are well aware of Democratic Senator turned Gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, and everything she stands for.
Whether it’s being unabashedly pro-abortion, or doubling and tripling down on “inconsistencies” in her supposed rags-to-riches life story, you can be sure Wendy is not standing for any principles that conservatives are looking for in their elected representatives.
(Well, aside from swapping in her formerly NRA F-rated stance on Second Amendment issues for a pro-open-carry stance. We can only assume she defied the party’s stance on the issue in order to have some perceived grounds to compete with Greg Abbott, and not to actually assist conservative Republicans during primary season…)
Texans know Wendy Davis is the liberal bastion to which Battleground Texas and Team Obama have pinned their hopes and dreams for a “blue”—or at least purple—Texas.
So, one might assume that getting to the ballot box in November and ensuring Republicans are elected is the answer to defeating that Wendy Davis, Battleground Texas, “Turn Texas Blue” dream.
But, many might be shocked to know that on the Fiscal Responsibility Index for the 83^rd Texas Legislative Session, Senator Wendy Davis actually out-performed a number of House Republicans when it came to taxpayer issues.
Wendy certainly has nothing to be proud of with her failing score of 43.6 on our index; however, the following Republican House members scored even lower.
When it comes to fiscal issues, these liberal Republicans are worse than Wendy Davis, and voters have the opportunity to begin stripping the purple from our Texas Capitol come March 4^th.

As for those incumbents running unopposed this primary season, it will be the people’s job to hold them accountable to taxpayer interests during the next session.
