"I thought Glenn Beck outed her as a truther and pretty much ended her run for Governor. Is she making a comeback?"

Medina believes in the "Truth?"

Wow. She's getting my vote. Personally I'm tired of being lied to.

As for Beck "outing her." All I heard her say was she "didn't know." Sounded like a pretty honest and "truthful" answer to me.

Not quite. She gave it a lot more credence that an off-the-cuff "I don't know." And what about you? Do you think our government had a hand in the 9/11 attacks?

A "truther" and "truth" have nothing to do with each other.

"As for Beck "outing her." All I heard her say was she "didn't know." Sounded like a pretty honest and "truthful" answer to me."

Since you didnt hear the entire interview, here is a transcript of the conversation when Glenn brought up the 9/11 topic.

GLENN: I have when I said that I was going to have you on, you can't imagine the mail pro and con that I received. There was a theme that ran against you and that is you are a 9/11 Truther.

MEDINA: Well, there's lots of mud that people would like to throw at Debra Medina and make stick. The truth is I'm an everyday ordinary person. I am fighting for the things that our founders fought for, those very basic principles of a constitutional republic, and I'm going to champion people that hold their government accountable, hold me accountable but that's the first time I've heard that accusation. So that's an interesting one.

GLENN: Right. Here's then let me be more frank and ask you the question: Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?

MEDINA: I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don't I'm not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I've not taken a position on that.

GLENN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.

MEDINA: Well

GLENN: Do you have advisors, do you have advisor

MEDINA: I'm not going to take a position.

GLENN: That's fine.

MEDINA: These questions have been raised and they are not answered.

GLENN: Do you have advisors that advise you or people that are around you that are 9/11 Truthers?

MEDINA: Not to my knowledge.

GLENN: Would you, if you found out that there were, would you disavow them like the president should have but I mean, he escorted them out in the middle of the night. Van Jones was a 9/11 Truther. If you found out that people around you are advising you were 9/11 Truthers, would you disavow them or allow them to continue to advise you?

MEDINA: Well, you know, that's a federal issue. We're very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government. I'm certainly not into mind control or thought policing people.

GLENN: No, that's a pretty big one.

MEDINA: We've got a very diverse team in this state and that's because Texans are standing shoulder to shoulder to support and defend the Constitution. I frankly don't have time, you know, to go through and do psychological testing on people and know every thought or detail that they have.

GLENN: No, I don't think it's psychological at all.

MEDINA: I don't see us having a team of radical individuals, if you will. I think that there are certainly some that are looking, trying to use scare tactics. I you know, are there people?

GLENN: No, I don't think they're scare tactics. Debra, you've answered the question.

MEDINA: Yeah, are there people that have tried to come and be a part of our team

GLENN: Right.

MEDINA: that have not gotten on the team? Absolutely there are. But I can't

GLENN: Yeah, I understand. Debra, you've answered the question.

MEDINA: You know, I don't know. That's so out of context, it's difficult for me to answer.

GLENN: There's

MEDINA: I think it would depend on, you know, how vocal they were about that and how much I thought it colored whatever other talent they brought to the table.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay, Debra, thank you very much. I appreciate it and best of luck to you.

Beck handed her the biggest softball question that could be given to a candidate.

Would the same quality of veritas that you like of her still hold if she would have said "I don't know" to a question asking if the holocaust happened?

The question was NOT do you agree with questioning government. She was asked if the government was INVOLVED. Here is the actual question and her clear answer.

GLENN: Right. Here’s then let me be more frank and ask you the question: Do you believe the government was any way INVOLVED with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?

MEDINA: I don’t, I don’t have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don’t I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I’ve not taken a position on that.

GLENN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.

MEDINA: Well.....

Try to spin WHAT she said, not what you THOUGHT she said.

Wow. She’s getting my vote. Personally I’m tired of being lied to.

Didn't listen very well did you? To say all she said was that she didn't know is BS, and she said a lot more than that. Saying "she didn't know" means that she believes the Government was involved but she just didn't want to come right out and say so.

I have no doubt in my mind that Bush and the boys did not plant explosives in the world trade center, they did not collude with terrorists to fly planes into the world trade center or the Pentagon or help in any way what so ever in bringing about the deaths of people in the world trade center, the Pentagon and on the plane that crashed into a field in Penn.

If she has doubts, she is no conservative nor should she be holding public office of any kind because it displays a stupidity on the order of the communists we have running the country right now.

To top off her list of reasons she shouldn't be elected is the fact she is all for illegal aliens streaming across the border and for amnesty. No, was the correct response and she still hasn't given a no. Vote for who you want, but open your eyes a bit because your type of blindness is what elected Bozo the WH clown.

There were 3 answers she could have given, yes, no and I don’t know. The correct answer to the question is a firm resounding NO! She didn’t say that, she said she didn’t know, which means she had her doubts. Stick a fork in her, she’s done!

Based on my limited knowledge of her I tend to agree as to this post (#10) on this thread.

On the other hand this is a very good informative thread about her.

Thanks to all posters. BTTT!
