Leave it to a Texas Republican to pick the wrong issues and attract the wrong voter base.
There should be no doubt in anybody's mind that the GOP has a pretty solid lock on those single-issue voters who view the Democratic Party as the enemy of their 2nd Amendment right to carry outrageous amounts of fire power with no social obligations attached. Rock'n'Roll sociopath Ted Nugent is a natural draw on the campaign trail for that crowd.
Now he has attracted a lot of attention for making comments in which he described President Obama as everything that the armed camps considers evil (Communist, ACORN activist and blah, blah, blah) and underscored it with "sub-human mongrel".
Most people would concede that the GOP has to broaden its base among women and minorities. Nugent is not going to help much there, especially after categorizing most feminists as fat pigs and such and then describing g the POTUS in terms that would have been more acceptable among reads of the Voelkische Beobachter.
Is Abbot afraid to have this loose cannon on board with him? Not a bit of it.
I think he is sending women and what few blacks he still has on his side to Wendy Davis.
Now Wolf Blitzer has picked up the controversy. He confronted his colleague Newt Gingrich. Gingrich attempted to deflect it by making comments about the Clintons and Bill's attitude toward women and a number of other issues that have nothing to do with the vile nature of fools like Nugent. He is less than convincing. Bring something other than Tu Quoque, Newt. You are supposed to be the heavyweight intellect in your party.
Blitzer handed him his butt with a nice teriyaki glaze.
The GOP is suicidal. Only possible explanation.
