Greg Abbott is starting out on the wrong foot in his race for the governor's mansion.

Greg Abbot doesn’t want to be Attorney General of Texas any more. He wants to be governor. And his campaign handlers have said the sure way to get there is to attack the current administration over gun rights. 

Dear Greg,  Shut up.

Texas has a whole wealth of problems that need addressing, but slamming the current administration in paid for ads is not the way to ear our trust. We’ve had a fool in office for years now who has done nothing but that. In fact he is set to veto the ethics bill because it would force political action committees and lobbyists to be denoted on all political ads, especially TV. They don’t like that. They want anonymity. But Rick will veto it because of the sheer amount of money being thrown at the argument.

So what is your stand on this?  Oh that’s right, your stand is against the Obama administration. 

The current legislature is tackling a strict water-districting plan that would divide the state’s water rights into regions. There is some talk that it would hurt some rural areas. At the expenses of small towns, the cities and large counties would get preferential treatment.  How do you feel about that, Greg?

Oh I forgot. You are against the Obama administration’s gun control.

You see, Greg, big issues mean we need big thinkers.  Not small angry people.  Not mouth pieces for the national GOP, who itself is running out of steam because it has stood for only one thing in the last eight years:  Their hatred for the Obama Administration.

We don’t need you to join in the noise, Greg.

In fact, we do not need you at all.
