Why isn't anyone asking Abbott why he worked to deny full recovery to other victims of negligence?

Why are media talking heads, even on MSNBC, letting Abbott get away with his bullshit response that she's "attacking a man in a wheelchair." Worse, they're repeating that bullshit. Why don't they ask him if he means he can't be attacked for being a hypocrite just because he is in a wheelchair? Why doesn't anyone point out that NOWHERE in the ad is Abbott shown in a wheelchair?

Not Have To Intervene In The Federal Lawsuit. It is my belief that the CEO of the hospital made a multi-thousand dollar donation to Abbott's Campaign.

and those not from Texas don't seem to understand that the votes are rigged in favor of repugs. We're still using vote stealing Diebold machines and there's voter suppression tactics plus gerrymandering.

Perry has not won one honest election, they've been stolen for him.

Voting machines are widely known to be easily hacked and they're still being used? Why?

there. (Austin). So many good people, but their politics just piss me off. I'm in Colorado now and I am beginning to get pissed about that too!
I hope things turn out better everywhere than what they are predicting right now. I'm thinking New Zealand!
