That wheelchair is his protection from criticism.
Before everybody goes off on me; I have a disabled brother whom Abbott thinks is just too lazy to work. My brother didn't get a multi-million dollar settlement from his own stupidity. He had the misfortune of a hospital mistake at birth.

(4,879 posts)I have been saying for some time; this is the most corrupt government in Texas history.
It started when Karl Rove managed to steal the Governorship for George W. Bush.
I take that back. It started in the late 70's when the bible thumpers wormed their way on to the school boards.
I came here in 1966 (women weren't allowed to own property until 1968). I thought the state was a little backward then, but now it is medieval.
This state is being run by a bunch of carpetbaggers, whom the natives seem to have no problem selling out to. It is just so easy to blame all their problems on "Warshington".
