Abbott: Wendy Davis not 'too stupid' to be governor

Round Rock — Attorney General Greg Abbott said Monday that Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, is not “too stupid” to be governor.

Abbott was responding to a question from a reporter after speaking to supporters at a campaign event at the 620 Cafe Café & Bakery, regarding a retweet last week by Abbott’s campaign adviser Dave Carney, suggesting that Davis, a Harvard-trained attorney who is considering seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, “is too Stupid to be Governor.”

Carney’s tweet linked to UrbanGrounds, where Robbie Cooper of Austin blogged that the recall election last week of two Democratic state senators in Colorado who had backed a new gun control law, “makes me think that Texas state Senator Wendy `Abortion Barbie’ Davis is even dumber than her fake blond hair would imply. According to the far-left (and huge fans of Abortion Barbie) Texas Tribune, Davis is likely to add tougher gun restrictions to her campaign agenda if (when) she decides to run for Governor.”

That was a reference to a story in which Jay Root wrote that, “Despite the risks, Davis, known for waging sometimes lonely political battles, has not been afraid to pick a fight over guns — in particular over gun shows.

Asked about the “too stupid” tweet, Abbott said, “I disagree with that statement and we’re going to make sure that this campaign focuses on the real issues that matter to Texans. What we’re talking about here today is a small business owner and the challenges small businesses face. So our focus is going to be on creating jobs, on keeping taxes low and keeping Texas the state that provides more opportunities than nay other state.”

Oh look, another white knight conservative. All the left has to do is run women for every office, and morons on the right will allow the left to walk all over us because we can't say anything bad about women.

Gosh, no wonder you were dumped as a troll.

Palin is a great example of alinsky ridicule tactics. This is good, it paints a great picture and ridicules a leftist hag.
