Abbott v Davis?

It's time to choose a new governor of Texas. I think we can all say thanks to that and breathe a sigh of relief that Rick Perry is leaving. 

On the Republican side, it'll be Greg Abbott. He is running as a conservative that takes on Obama and liberals who want the government to take care of them cradle to grave. As many know, he is disabled and is bound to a wheelchair. That is something that I would never want happen to anyone. I do sincerely feel bad for the guy on that one. However, I do find him to be hypocritical. The accident occurred when he was jogging and a tree limb fell on him. He sued the owner of the property and the tree company for 6 million dollars. He has gone on as attorney general to fight to limit the amount of money that people can sue the state. His logic is that he has to represent the interests of the state. He is correct in that but then he should have been smart enough to know that before getting into the job. Also, most conservatives rail against lawsuits. It seems that he is a hypocrite.

Then there is Wendy Davis for the democrats. She became famous for standing up to those angry, male conservatives who were trying to violate women's rights. What did she filibuster? The bill that would eventually pass banned abortions after 20 weeks (approximately 5 months) and set up more regulations for abortion clinics. So she thought that standing for terminating the life of fetus that could live outside the mother (albeit with some help) was standing up for women's rights. Ensuring the woman can choose what she does with her own body. I don't know any other part of her voting record but I would bet as a democrat she typically supports more government regulation. In this case, she stood against regulating facilities where humans perform "medical" procedures on other humans. She also was upset that Rick Perry called a special session for the bill. That was in the rules just as was her filibuster. Seems like hypocrisy to me.

So there are your candidates. Well except there are third parties out there. Look for a third party and vote for them. That will send a message to the two main parties that they do not control all the power.
