Denton Co. GOP Chair Warns Of "Abortion Barbie" And Her "Hispanic" Running Mate

The Denton County Republican Party Chair Dianne Edmondson expressed her concern over "the super women ticket of Abortion Barbie with Hispanic Sen Leticia Van De Putte as her running mate." The weekly newsletter sent Tuesday is the last before the party will host a forum Monday with every candidate in the Lt. Governor and Attorney General's race.

I have been looking at the twitter feed for #abortionbarbie for a while. The Abbott supporters who post using this hashtag are really nasty people. They are taking their directions from Greg Abbott and the GOP leadership

Denton County is in north Texas and is in Texas only because Oklahoma doesn’t suck quite enough. It is full of Republican women who are not rich enough or pretty enough to make it in the Dallas social scene but fancy themselves to be Sue Ellen Ewing.

And that’s how Dianne Edmondson came to be the Republican county chair in Denton County.

When Dianne is not busy looking down her nose at you, she sends out emails to the party faithful.

They are perky, blinking lights kind of emails. You know, the kind where you know she laments daily that her keyboard doesn’t give her a choice of dotting her i’s with little hearts.

Here, let me show you a snippet from her latest email.

You can click the little one to get the big one.

Oh yeah, she said that. You can go look for yourself.



Dianne, you know we can hear you, right?

Abortion Barbie and Hispanic Sen? Really? Those are the worst two things you could come up with?

And, if you have the guts, you can scroll down the newsletter and see that their Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner will feature not only Ted Cruz but also his batcrap crazy Dad. As the warm-up act is … oh yeah, Louie Gohmert.

Come on, Oklahoma, suck harder.


The Abbott supporters are proud of the abortionbarbie comment and have been posting like crazy on twitter using #abortionbarbie as a hashtag.

This is going to be a very nasty campaign in part due to the fact that the Texas GOP is worried
