Abbott's War on Women Continues.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeffrey-meyer/2013/10/29/msnbcs-roberts-republicans-want-stop-women-voting

This is a reminder from 2013. How will he respond to women voting in the 2014 election? Abbott seems to only respond to extremist men. Abbott does not allow his wife to speak but degrades his mother-in-law instead, in a recent Ad.

Abbott's is ignoring the voters, women and men. He refused to debate. I think that Texas Democrats should be allowed to debate the Texas Republican Platform in any schedule media debate that Abbott runs out on. In my opinion, many Texans are not aware of the latest principles of those running on the Republican Ticket. Taxpayers pay for the election process and materials. We are at least entitled to the platforms. I think that all political party platforms should be posted inside the voting area. A voter could read the platform, leave to do research, and come back later to sign the register, and then vote. The names are then seen on the individual's ballot.

Greg expected to be handed the governorship because he had waited so long to move up. Greg is not a great speaker and is making a number of mistakes
