Texas Governors Race: Tom Pauken Jumps In and Runs a Little to the Right

August 15, 2013
With Gov. Rick Perry riding off into the sunset next year, and maybe running for president in 2016, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is running for governor of the Lone Star State. Abbott is arguably the second most popular Republican in Texas (behind Sen. Ted Cruz), he’s armed with a $22 million war chest, has assembled a staff full of seasoned professionals, and he’s an inspirational stump speaker.

Human Trafficking Prevention Manual Released by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott
Texas military brass has told Texas soldiers to apply for their benefits at federal bases, so as not to deny them benefits being offered to all other military personnel. And Texas and Mississippi, so far, are the only states to defy the defense department directive.
Now, as to guessing how the attorney general might respond, we can look at history. Greg Abbott has intervened to stop divorces between gay couples married legally in other states, saying Texas doesn’t recognized their marriage and so they cannot get a divorce.
Abbott has told cities, school districts and counties that they could not extend health coverage to domestic partners if the policy defines their relationship as similar to a marriage. The benefits would be extending recognition to a relationship as a marriage that is not a marriage under state law, was his reasoning.
And Abbott most recently has decried a San Antonio ordinance extending gay people protections in housing, jobs and public accommodations. In a letter to Mayor Julian Castro, Abbott cited the Texas Constitution as part of his basis for strongly opposing the ordinance.
“sez here Pauken’s raised $22 million.”
If your gonna make an attack against your opponent, it’s not a good idea to start with a statement that is so easy to verify as false. Isn’t is common knowledge Pauken hasn’t been bankrolled by billionaire Texas Democrat attorneys, unlike Abbott? I haven’t heard of any Texas gay activists say they want to endorse Pauken for governor either. Just saying Abbott opposes gay marriage doesn’t mean he’s the only candidate running for Texas governor who is fighting gay activism.
