Texas gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis brushed off criticism about her life story from Bristol Palin, saying that nothing Palin accused her of was true.
Davis was responding to a blog post from the daughter of former Gov. Sarah Palin, who wrote last week amid questions about the timeline of Daviss personal biography, slamming her for allegedly leaving her kids behind with her ex-husband after finishing law school.
Gosh, children are sooo inconvenient, huh? Im glad my mother didnt put motherhood on the shelf when she was elected to City Council, then became our mayor, then governor, Palin wrote, addressing her comments to liberals. I know you would rather think about Wendy Davis, so lets get back to her. Shes more your type of woman. She left her kid, husband, made it into a false made-for-tv-movie-type tale and then demanded that Texans have the right to kill babies. Thats the woman you libs can really get behind!
(QUIZ: Do you know Wendy Davis?)
Davis was asked about the comments in a Monday interview with Fusions Jorge Ramos, where she dismissed the criticism.
I think there obviously is a threat that people across Texas are connecting with me and connecting with the reality of my life story, Davis said, when asked why the attack was so personal.
She continued: With all due respect to Ms. Palin, of course, nothing that was said in that tweet is true. Im very proud of the mother I have been to my daughters. I have always been and will always be the most important female in their lives. They are the most important thing to me and Im very proud Ive been able to be a role model, a friend, a mother to these two beautiful girls Ive raised.

(9,461 posts)someone who is in absolutely no position to judge. Maybe Bristol thinks mothers should do more, like pretend the child you have is really theirs. For all Bristol's crowing about her mother, she doesn't see the absurdity in the fact that her mother didn't help her get the skills or education to have a job that doesn't involve peddling hate for a living. Sad individual, that Bristol Palin.

(145,086 posts)Get this. Bristol Palin has a blog.Last week, Palin took to her blog to condemn Davis as downright pathetic after a report in the Dallas Morning News questioned some details of the state senators life story, including how long she lived in a trailer and when her divorce to her first husband went through.
So, let me get this right. Palins complaint is that Wendy Davis didnt live in a trailer long enough? And that she was 19 when she filed for divorce but a full grown and blossomed 21 when it was finalized?
Child, hush. You cash in on your mothers fame and then point a finger at someone else?
Oh the experts on motherhood on the right.
Bristol Palin should keep her mouth shut.

Which one left the father of their kid, and was on several made for TV reality shows Bristol Palin or Wendy Davis. Does any Republican not project their reality on other people?
