Greg Abbott says he’s campaigning with Ted Nugent “to expose” Wendy Davis on gun rights

[TexasTowelie]

Republican Greg Abbott touted Ted Nugent today as a political comrade in arms. He largely avoided questions about Democrats who have singed out Nugent’s outspoken comments calling President Obama “a subhuman mongrel” and women leaders “fat pigs.” Democrats have also also noted that Nugent has acknowledged having sex with underage girls, an issue — sexual predators — that Abbott pledged as attorney general to combat. Abbott told reporters following a campaign event in Denton that he wasn’t aware of Nugent’s past statements.

Abbott trumpeted the 65-year-old rocker’s advocacy of gun rights as the reason to have him share the campaign stage today. Abbott says Democratic rival Wendy Davis’ association with Barack Obama is a bigger problem for her than his on-stage association with Nugent.

Here’s what Abbott told reporters following a campaign event in Denton today, the first day of early voting.

“Sen. Davis knows she is suffering with voters because of her flipping and flopping on 2nd Amendment gun laws. And she knows that Ted Nugent calls her out on her disregard for 2nd Amendment rights. We are going to expose Sen. Davis’ weaknesses on the 2nd Amendment and show that in this area and in so many other areas, she represents the liberalism of Barack Obama that is so bad for Texas.

This allows us to get Texans to focus on issues that really matter. It allows us to focus on issues like the 2nd Amendment, which is a symbol of constitutional liberties in general. And we’ve seen Wendy Davis across the board take positions that are antagonistic to the Constitution.

Wendy Davis has been more assocaiuted with Barack Obama than anybody in the state. I don’t think there is anybody in the state that is disliked more than Barack Obama. If there’s this effect-by-relationship they want to trump up, then that’s a game that will be to the detriment of the Davis campaign because of their ties to Barack Obama.”

1. Too bad

Nugent is a draft dodger, etc, and elected to NOT stand up with his countries brothers and defend the Constitution.
