I have been watching live. I still don't know what the 3rd strike was all about. Do you know?

(26,582 posts)Wendy was going on about how the sonogram law. She was trying to show that with the current bill plus the previous law is very detrimental to women, multiple visits to a doctor, etc. Senator Donna Campbell (R-Moron) called a point on it. Anywho then Dewhurst ruled against Wendy, so it was her third strike.

(15,892 posts)isn't it.
It makes me ashamed of women when someone like Donna Campbell helps run interference for and with the men. May she get handed a pink slip when her term is over!

(15,892 posts)So, this is a scam by the republicants. Notice if they were filibustering they would bring up all kinds of crap and get away with it!

(15,892 posts)I certainly hope we can rid ourselves of these meddlesome hicks.
In my opinion these hicks are practicing medicine without licenses. If we were to pretend to be doctors we would probably face charges of criminal misconduct.

(15,892 posts)However, I knew they would call the cops to have them ejected out of the building.
But WENDY WENDY WENDY
And: SHAME SHAME SHAME
Plus the cheering and clapping made my day.
I also noticed that dewhurst was called back in. They are definitely cowards the whole lot of 'em t'baggers.

(15,892 posts)Of course it was only a matter of time before Dewhurst ruled against Wendy.

(26,582 posts)I'm "represented" by Kelly Hancock.

(15,892 posts)I wish Wendy was my Senator. I do know her though, and have heard her a number of times at campaign rallies.
Did you go to the Victory Party in November? I was there after the polls closed and took my Obama campaign yard sign with me. Several people borrowed it to have their pics taken with it. What a night!
tammywammy
(26,582 posts)I wish I had though. I just checked the map, if I moved a mile or so I'd be in her district. Such is life.

(15,892 posts)Wendy is an excellent Senator and glad she represents Tarrant County.
