Rocker Ted Nugent hijacks attention in race for Texas governor

Texas voters got their first chance to cast ballots Tuesday for the March 4 primaries, but rabble-rousing rocker Ted Nugent stole the show as early voting began.

Nugent, an outspoken gun rights activist, campaigned with Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott Tuesday, sparking criticism from Democrats and state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who say he disrespects women and others.

“We don’t have to question Greg Abbott’s courage, because he invited me here today,” Nugent said during an event in Denton, later adding that a female politician similar to Davis created a “cesspool” under her leadership.

After casting her ballot in the Democratic Primary, Davis said Abbott’s decision to include Nugent in get-out-the-vote events shows what kind of man he is.

“Ted Nugent has a record of taking an approach to women that’s extremely demeaning, repulsive,” she said. “For Greg Abbott to embrace him, to stand with him, on this important day of voting, demonstrates what his values are. They are not in alignment with everyday Texans.”

Davis and Abbott are perceived as the front-runners in the March primaries and are expected to face each other in the Nov. 4 general election battle that will determine Texas’ next governor.

I’ll consider not talking about “women’s issues” when liberals demand that liberal women do the same. When they demand that men stop talking about “their” issues, all they’re doing is attempting to silence half the opposition.

When Wendy Davis and friends can produce children with zero input from men, I’ll shut up about it. Till then, they can kiss my masculine-ly muscled ass.

And your consideration of “socialist” persons such as Bob Segar, Eddie Money and other American “rockers” who routinely “had sex with underage girls”.

How about Prince, a public advocate of Obamugabe?

I was so certain that Ted would one day become Governor of Michigan.

I would have voted for him but his wife is the one I would have expected to see run.
