I don't see that as helpful in a sober discussion of the merits of candidates.

And as AG, he darn sure better have security surrounding him.

His office has been busy suing the feds over a host of issues.

Your criticism of Abbott is off base. Consider the source.

He has a consistent history of defending TX against Obozo’s DC minions. He has my vote.

Nothing further.

Let me rephrase to Greg ‘Sicilian’ Abbott. “It’s all about Omerta (Silence).”

Sam Houston knew when to chose the moment.

I think Abbott is smart and tough enough to do the same.

He has been my choice for a long time. Long before he announced.

I’m not putting to much stock in no debates this early either. I, for one am glad.

The election is over a year away. There will probably be the same number of debates as always...three if I recall recent years.

Then the debate/s with whoever wins the primary with the D candidate.

I doubt if anyone would watch a debate this early...unless it would be us political junkies.

I just checked. Abbot has filed 24 lawsuits against the feds. He's won 5, lost 8 and 12 are pending. He's expected to appeal some of the losses.

I guess I know where he stands on states rights.

Friend, you're new around here, so let me give you a word of advice.

If you begin posting a string of media slams and ongoing ad hominem attacks against one of the contenders in a high profile Republican race, you're going to engender the lasting enmity of a whole lot of Freepers.

Those who've gone down the path you're traveling now, are mostly ex-Freepers.

Yes, that is true but a lot of that has been pure PR

I couldn’t agree more. Lt. Gov has the power. Long past time for Dewhurst to move along.

If you have a ping list for “Boot Dewhurst”...could you please add me?

I don't consider the EPA win PR. I also don't consider the voter ID lawsuit PR.

I've sensed the same thing, which is why all the rancor from TexGrill sounds (and smells) like shilling for his opponent to me.

Where did you get your stats?

Honestly, that does not look that bad to me. What other AG has won a case against the Feds since Obozo was in office?

I am not buying the criticism of Greg.

Exactly, which is why I don't get all the clamor from the OP to get Abbott to debate Pauken. Unless, of course, he's trying to get Pauken noticed.

I had no idea who the guy was, until the OP began crying about Abbott not debating him.

“trying to get Pauken noticed”

I tend to agree. I guess there is nothing wrong with that as long as it is done in a respectful manner that doesn’t go on attack to an opponent with a good prior track record.

I like to remember that Cruz didn’t have the name recognition or war chest that Dewhurst had. We know how that story ended. :)

If Pauken is the real deal and better than Abbott..he’ll have his chance to prove it.
