Houston Chronicle: Wendy Davis for Governor

Wendy Davis received the endorsement of the Houston Chronicle

The Houston Chronicle has endorsed Wendy Davis for Governor of Texas. This was a surprise that should not have been surprising. After-all, the entire Democratic ticket is competent and strong. The entire Republican lineup reeks of cronyism and an offensive display of entitlement.

The subtitle in the Houston Chronicle's endorsement says it all, "Texas needs a leader who's willing to tackle tough issues too long ignored." If that isn't a slap on the deficiency in leadership in Austin, what is? They continue near the end with this reality.

That distinction is a dismal reminder that this big, booming state falls far short in too many categories. We have the highest percentage of uninsured children in the nation, the fourth-highest percentage of people living below the poverty level, the second-highest percentage of people going hungry. We are last in the percentage of residents with a high school diploma. We have the nation's dirtiest air. The list could go on.

The list could go on...​

the **** of texas! Probably should gets its tubed tied and not reproduce!

 

[Zander]

BFD. She is down 12 pts with less than a month to go......She has ZERO chance of winning.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Lol. Strong and competent dems in Texas. That's one of the bigger oxymorons that I've heard. She'll lose big. Everyone down here knows that she's a complete retard.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

You got that right. That bimbo has zero chance of getting elected.

So the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram endorsed Abbott. Wendy Davis is a one trick pony and the people know it she got the Dem nomination based on one thing her filibuster against abortion restrictions which made her the darling of the liberal media and to her credit she used that to get the nomination but the vast majority are not one issue voters.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I hope she aborts all of her children. We don't need anymore of this shit pool!

 

[The Rabbi]

Abortion Barbie is toast. Nothing to see here.

 

[Star]

BFD. She is down 12 pts with less than a month to go......She has ZERO chance of winning.

uh-oh Republicans - another day, another newspaper endorsement, the Texas ducks are starting to line up for Wendy.

This week, Democratic Party internal polling has Wendy moving up to 12-11-10-9-8-7- within 6 points of the hypocrite - looks like Wendy's ads and superior ground game are working.

​

OTOH, a vote for Abbott is just another way Texans can say, we hate our children and-----and our neighbor's children too.


Austin American Statesman Endorsement: ‘Wendy Davis is the Right Choice’
October 18, 2014

<snip>

Davis lists public school education as a priority. She has called for funding full-day pre-kindergarten programs – a proposal that she says would cost about $730 million but could be partially offset by closing corporate tax loopholes. She wants the Legislature to raise teacher pay. She has fought to reduce standardized testing.

Also at the top of Davis’ to-do list: expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
Expansion would give hundreds of thousands of Texans health insurance and bring back to the state tax dollars that are being used elsewhere. To reject expanding Medicaid is to posture politically, Davis correctly says, and it comes at great cost to the state and its less-fortunate citizens.

To reiterate why the Houston Chronicle prefers Democrats.
After years of one party rule in the corporate oligarchy of Texas...

"That distinction is a dismal reminder that this big, booming state falls far short in too many categories.

What we ought to be praying for is, the people of Texas will wake the fuck up... maybe it's the dirty air that's clogging their brains and keeping Texans from graduating from high school or maybe the hunger or...

Yes, that would be due to all the illegal aliens jumping the border.

What are you going to say on election night when she loses by double digits?

If Wendy Davis doesn't win, I'll say the people of Texas that didn't have their votes suppressed deserve their unregulated dirty air, chemical explosions...
