Wendy Davis hits new low with attack ad on Abbott in a wheelchair

Not even the Washington Post can hold back. They've declared her out of the race.

Wendy Davis is running one of the nastiest campaign ads you will ever see

By Aaron Blake
October 10, 2014 at 4:00 PM
Wendy Davis is almost certainly not going to be the next governor of Texas. Apparently, though, she's willing to try just about anything to alter that reality.

Witness her new ad that begins with this visual. It goes on to attack wheelchair-bound state Attorney General Greg Abbott (R) for hypocrisy because, after suing and winning a large reward for the accident that caused his partial paralysis, he has opposed similar litigation as the state's top cop.

"A tree fell on Greg Abbott," the narrator says. "He sued and got millions. Since then, he's spent his career working against other victims."

This ad is the sort of highly risky gambit you only see from a long-shot campaign. And, as often as not, these sorts of "Hail Marys" fail miserably.

If if does backfire and Davis wants to run for office in the future, you can rest assured this one will stick with her.

You might also want to check out who owns the Washington Post now.

Agreed, despicable. But even more so the GOP fear campaign that ISIS is going to shoot us all up with Ebola as crazed Mexicans bearing syringes close in on your daughters. Welcome to modern politics. :(

And not necessarily in that order. Have you gotten checked out for the ISIS strain of Ebola yet? Your party wants to know. Did you know that anyone from New York is already on lists throughout the south to be stopped and checked by the local gendarmeries because YOU are a liberal because you didn't pack up and leave when the word came out?

Yep. Heard it on the radio. Just yesterday. ISIS themselves are crossing the Mexican border by the thousands as we speak, bringing terrorism and Ebola into the country right now. The President thinks fighting Ebola is racist, so nothing will be done.

It is pure insanity what they're saying.

As to Ms Davis, I'm sure there's a boatload of facts surrounding that ad. Harsh, yes, but RWers are just as harsh. Look at the bullshit they're selling WRT ISIS and Ebola, border security and our President, all in a minute's airtime......

On the other hand it's pretty clear that you are a fucking idiot and a partisan hack- nothing more or less. You take 3 very serious issues we, as a nation, are facing and try to portray the majority of American citizens as panicked loons because they see the government as not doing enough. Just remember that you are the minority these days. We think you are in denial because of your childish political beliefs. Perhaps you feel that you have nothing to lose but the majority of American citizens do worry about issues this administration has missed the boat on all 3 issues. Are we now supposed to trust your judgement that we are on the right track when your judgement in the past has led to one fuck up after another - one failure after another - one disappointment after another ? I think not.

Everything in the ad is true. Greg Abbott got his, and, in typical GOP fashion, has ever since been trying to keep others from getting theirs.

The problem for Davis is, the average person will not see beyond the wheelchair imagery and come away with the impression that she is making fun, or taking advantage of, his disability. This is the fault of her advisers, and of the political class generally, who often fail to appreciate how the average voter looks at things.

Its no longer just conservatives and its hardly panic. Its the American majority who feel that this president and this congress are not doing the right thing and that American majority is making changes. You call it panic while we call it Democracy.

And if you look at the latest statements out of the bankers, the thought of republicans in charge, along with the EU still trying "austerity" again, has key economic drivers pointing at another recession after November.

So the Senate goes 50-50 with Biden casting the deciding votes. Republicans still don't get it as to how the senate works.

They're not. It's a tossup to this day. They only reason they think thee's a chance is that typically there's low turnout among people who generally vote Democratic , and that would favor the RWers, A few "voter ID" "victories" (for the RW) could throw the election just as readily.

Things could turn out differently this time, nobody can say with any certainty. It's all a lot of bluster and bullshit. The only winners I see so far are advertising outlets.
