Wendy Davis Hits Greg Abbott With a Wheelchair Ad – Video

This ad has caused some controversy with some people saying that it was done in poor taste considering the fact that her Republican opponent, Greg Abbott, is wheelchair bound.

But for what’s it’s worth, I agree with this ad and the purpose it serves. Although the optics may be debatable, the facts presented in the ad are undeniable. Greg Abbott used the system to get compensation for an unfortunate event that left him disabled, but he fought others trying to use that same system for their benefit.

“In 1984, Greg Abbott sought out and received justice following a horrible injury, rightly so…receiving millions of dollars. And I’m glad, he deserved justice for the terrible tragedy that he endured,” Davis said at her Fort Worth, Texas, field office. “But then he turned around and built his career working to deny the very same justice that he received to his fellow Texans rightly seeking it for themselves.”

Texas Poll – Greg Abbott Holds a 12 Point Lead Over Wendy Davis

A new poll conducted by the University of Texas/Texas Tribune, finds that despite his well known association with nutjob Ted Nugent,  Republican Greg Abbott leads Democrat Wendy Davis by 12 percentage points in the race for governor.

That result is close to the 11-point spread, also in Abbott’s favor, in the February UT/TT Poll. In this most recent survey, he maintained a 14-point lead among male voters and a 10-percentage point lead among female voters.

“Abbott remains strong and this, in a lot of ways, confirms the strategy that we’ve seen from his camp: Leave well enough alone,” said Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin and co-director of the UT/TT Poll. “The Davis campaign seems to be not able to reverse the trend.”

Sarah Palin is Endorsing Greg Abbott Because of Ted Nugent

The failed half term governor from Alaska turned political celebrity to the right winged nitwits, made her very important announcement on her Facebook page, explaining that if Nugent is campaigning with Abbott, then all is well in the universe.

“If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!” Palin wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday.

Abbott, currently serving as the state’s attorney general and challenging Democrat Wendy Davis, came under fire this week after inviting Nugent to campaign with him. The musician recently made offensive remarks about the president, who he called a “subhuman mongrel” in a January interview.

Abbott said Nugent would be joining him on the trail to expose Davis’s position on gun rights and the musician already appeared at an event Tuesday.

Palin wrote that Abbott is “a believer in the power of liberty and the need to defend our freedoms from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government.”
