Paulbots think the Federal Government is Nutty and Dangerous. They also hate Federal Programs that are not Constitutional.

Heh. I wish Michael Williams had run for Governor. Perry has been in too long and has been a substantial disappointment, KBH is a Potomac RINO and has also been in the Senate way too long, Medina is a kook. We’ve got an embarrassment of riches in a Conservative GOP farm team, and Perry and KBH are blocking the newer and better from moving up. This race was a perfect opening for an alternate choice, and we just didn’t get one who was viable.

Southerner’s simultaneously, are the most patriotic people in America, we man their/our military and we distrust the government the most, all at the same time.

It is some kind of “Southern thing”, we don’t think that we Americans plot mass murder against each other though, and we did not do 9/11.

I took my Medina for Governor yard sign down after the Beck interview. I defended her on a number of FR posts. I had donated to her campaign, and I liked everything she said previously in the debates and Tea Parties; however, she crossed the line into Wacko-dom as a 911 truther. Medina could have handled this very easily with a quick and resounding 'NO' to the Beck interview question, and I am now concerned about her rational mind-set. Being a Ron Paul-type candidate, as accused on FR posts, does not disuade me, but 911 was an Islamic Terrorists conspiracy, and the USA did land on the moon -- and I hope no one asks Medina in public about that one.

I totally agree with you. I heard her interview with Beck and I was stunned by her response to the 9-11 questions.

Medina stated: “As Texas is currently $33 billion in debt, triple of what Perry inherited when he first took office, it would take until 2047 to pay that debt off.”


So who is lying? Medina says it’s $33B in debt. Perry says it’s a $9B surplus.

Must consider that this happened in Houston, which is probably the #2 most liberal/progressive city in Texas behind Austin.

Her talking points (and often KBH’s as well) also always include accusing Perry of things he may have proposed at times that never happened. The TTC didn’t happen, injections for young teen girls didn’t happen, etc.

No rationally thinking conservative Texan would want this Paulbot as Governor. She’s a nurse who latched onto a more efficient way to process medical insurance filings and started a small business to do that. In most companies, such ideas are considered items for the suggestion box so I’ll give her credit for being innovative. ....That’s much different from being the Governor of Texas.

Liberals voted for a polidiot celebrity with no political record of experience an put BHO in the WH. .

Why are we trying to make same mistake ?

No proven record of conservatism in a lower office. No vote from me.

Medina getting this far is not for something for us Texans to be particularly proud. She is a card carrying kook with absolutely no credentials to hold any office, let alone the one she is vying for. KBH’s primary message is one of deception whereas Perry’s message is very simple...Texas is in good shape, why would anyone want to change in these troubling times. I agree. Rick Perry for Governor for another 4 years.

In trying to avoid disparaging remarks she has backed herself into a corner. She now has to show some political skill and get herself out. There are too many here making more out of this than it deserves. She made a gaff. As I recall the occupant of the white house belongs to a party that questioned “what did Bush know and when did he know it” Hillary Clinton held up a newspaper that said “Bush Knew”.In the end all Debra Medina said was there are questions out there in a foolish attempt to appear balanced on a stupid conspiracy theory.

I too heard the interview, I thought it was one of Glenns
joke segments at first ... dang SHE is the only one
that can take credit for the terrible response. When asked
a pointed question the immediate response is the true thinking.

I don’t agree with or believe in Do-Overs...

“Paulbots do not trust the Federal Government. At all.”

I am not a Paulbot and I don’t trust the Federal, or any, government. I’m in good company because George Washington did not trust government.

That’s why it’s important to limit it.

Thanks for the post. Medina’s not a Truther, but facts don’t matter to the Perry trolls.

Doesn't matter.

The libs would tear her to pieces.

She just isn't a good campaigner as she can't keep her thoughts organized.

They couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again and it won't work with her either.

> No proven record of conservatism in a lower office. No vote from me.

Perry's been a politician since 1984 when he was first elected to the Texas House of Representatives from a district in Haskell County, near the panhandle.

Hutchison’s been a politician since 1972 when she was first elected to the Texas House of Representatives from a district in Houston.

By contrast, Medina is a small-business owner from Wharton with NO background in politics (much like Doug Hoffman in NY-23), but is a Pro-Life Conservative who cares deeply about restoring Texas State Sovereignty with the Federal government, securing the Border, protecting the 2nd Amendment rights of Texans and restoring lower taxes to eliminate the $33 billion Texas debt.

Please tell me how Perry's and Hutchison's record as being lifelong RINO politicians has been working in the best interest of Texas.
