After 14 ...That's what we were being told here. After 14 long years of El Pendejo, the leftish minority here was at least hopeful that Abbott wasn't going to be as bad. Looks like we should have voted for Costello. Who's on first, and what's in right field? (I held my nose and voted for Davis, and she got the shit beaten out of her.)Manifesto Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521151220297061304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502695489360674806.post-39788872656816563402015-05-22T19:08:20.074-05:002015-05-22T19:08:20.074-05:00re:

The Washington Times? Breitbart? WND?<br />I'm not challenging what you wrote, I'm just curious about it. I don't pay that close attention to Texas politics. Maybe Abbott indeed was being touted as a ethical politician, but I just missed it.<br />The only thing I'd heard about this guy is that he won $10 million in a lawsuit against some unfortunate property owner on whose property Abbott happened to be jogging past.<br />And now, Abbott is opposing those very same type of lawsuits. If that isn't considered "unethical" I don't know what is. Being a big hypocrite is unethical in my book.<br />Conservatives, as always, have this attitude of "I've got mine, fuck everybody else."<br />It's like Limbaugh, who once admitted that he collected jobless benefits years ago. Now, of course, he's an outspoken foe of jobless benefits.<br />Even the "Libertarian" Paul Ryan benefited handsomely from the Social Security survivor benefits he got after his father died. That money put him through college. Now, this hypocrite wants to gut Social Security.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
