Rocker Ted Nugent hijacks attention in race for Texas governor

Texas voters got their first chance to cast ballots Tuesday for the March 4 primaries, but rabble-rousing rocker Ted Nugent stole the show as early voting began.

Nugent, an outspoken gun rights activist, campaigned with Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott Tuesday, sparking criticism from Democrats and state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who say he disrespects women and others.

“We don’t have to question Greg Abbott’s courage, because he invited me here today,” Nugent said during an event in Denton, later adding that a female politician similar to Davis created a “cesspool” under her leadership.

After casting her ballot in the Democratic Primary, Davis said Abbott’s decision to include Nugent in get-out-the-vote events shows what kind of man he is.

“Ted Nugent has a record of taking an approach to women that’s extremely demeaning, repulsive,” she said. “For Greg Abbott to embrace him, to stand with him, on this important day of voting, demonstrates what his values are. They are not in alignment with everyday Texans.”

Davis and Abbott are perceived as the front-runners in the March primaries and are expected to face each other in the Nov. 4 general election battle that will determine Texas’ next governor.

Unlike Davis' kind, compassionate approach of supporting the brutal murder of female babies. You gotta be freakin' kidding me??

I think Ted Nugent is supported by quite a lot of women in Texas, and democrats had better be darn careful about locking horns with him.

Just saying.

“For Greg Abbott to embrace him, to stand with him, on this important day of voting, demonstrates what his values are. They are not in alignment with everyday Texans.”

Certainly not Texans who abandon their children the day after their sugar daddy makes the final payment on their college educations.

Ted is not afraid to throw down and get in their faces! It’s the only way to win these days.

Democrats are always hysterically complaining about something. They always need to create a bogeyman. If its not the one perceters its the “women haters”, or the polluters, or the exploiters, etc. Its their favorite tactic.

People around the country should wake up. All the Democrats do is offer up lots of imaginary scapegoats instead of offering real solutions to our problems.

Too bad most Republicans can’t figure out that simple formula. Push back hard and play to win. That’s how you gain ground. Its hard to score points when you’re always playing defense.

This is the way they intend to play it. All Democratic women are hands-off. Anyone who attacks them is a vicious woman-hater. Worked with Obama, will work with Hillary & this Texas chick.

I don’t know much about Ted Nugent - except when he occasionally appears on tv or the radio. I’ve never heard him utter a single nasty word about women.

Save it for the general, Wendy. What happens in the primary is none of your business.

"Bless your heart, Wendy."

For those not in the know, (A)the woman in this pic is Ted Nugent's wife, Shemane, and (B)when a southerner says, "Bless your heart", well.....you can figure it out.
