HOUSTON, Texas -- On Friday Texas' Attorney General Greg Abbott and State Senator Wendy Davis -- both gubernatorial candidates -- debated in the state's Rio Grande Valley. During the course of the debate, the issue of education came up. After hearing what Abbott had to say, a defensive Davis spoke when she was not supposed to and even interrupted a moderator multiple times--despite being told that it was not her turn to speak.
The incident began after Davis asked Abbott a question that began, "Judge Dates has recently ruled against you and in favor of the school children of Texas, ruling that our schools are unconstitutionally underfunded."
She continued, "The only thing right now coming between our children and appropriate funding of their schools today is you. On behalf of the five million children of this state, will you agree tonight that you will drop your appeals and allow our schools to be appropriately funded?"

That is a law that you voted to pass in 2011 that removes from the Attorney General the ability to settle lawsuits just like this. But it's important to understand that what I want to do is focus on creating, as governor, a better education system in this state."

“Abortion Barbie” kept getting her string pulled. A Barbie doll only says a few things repeatedly.
too bad about Molly Ringwald. I enjoyed her 80s movies.
She played a lesbian in the Secret Life of a Teenager series. And I don't think she was acting.
I haven’t seen any movies done when she was an adult. Sigh. I’m not surprised she played that part as appartently gay actors are the in thing in entertainment these days
Molly Ringwald should have stayed in France if she loves socialism so much.
Wind tunnel...
Lol.
C’mon Molly, why stop at governor of a city?
How about emperess or god queen?
Too much of something!

Sounds about right for woman when they get any degree of power....they don't know how to use it except to make them appear as the loudest mouth in the room..."I shall be heard!...when I want, where I want and how loud I want"
