Showing Original Post only (View all)Wendy Davis OBLITERATES Ted Nugent and Greg Abbott With BLISTERING NEW AD [View all]
"..The Wendy Davis campaign is slamming both Ted Nugent and Greg Abbott with a powerful new ad that features rape survivor Nicole Anderson..."
BAM!!.........
The ad features rape survivor Nicole Anderson speaking out, I am speaking out because it really bothered me for Greg Abbott to partner with Ted Nugent knowing his history of being a predator. I was at home. I heard about it on the news. It made me feel like the it minimized the fact that Ted Nugent is a predator. I think that it sends the wrong message that he partnered up with this man that is very vocal about liking underage girls. Theres something wrong with that. Its not okay.
This ad is important on a couple of different levels. First, it is telling the truth about Ted Nugent. These types of ads should make Republican candidates think twice before they decide to cozy up to, and appear with, a self admitted sexual predator. Secondly, the use of Nugent as a campaign booster by Abbott is an escalation of the Republican war on women, and the men who support the rights of all women. Abbotts embrace of Nugent is sending the message to all voters that if Greg Abbott is elected governor, open season will continue on the rights of women.
It is good to see Ted Nugent getting called out for what he really is, but it also highlights the crucial issue in this election. Do the women and men of Texas think it is representative of their values to have the Republican candidate for governor getting cozy with a sexual predator? If Greg Abbott has no qualms about buddying up with Ted Nugent, hell also wont hesitate to accelerate the extremist anti-women agenda in the state of Texas.

I'm in VA, but I'm spreading it around. Let's nationalize this. Nugent is an appropriate face ...

I would prefer they go after his draft dodging. It's more in your face to cowardly NeoCons.
