I know it is sometimes difficult to assess our political candidates and with all levels of government putting us in deep doo...uh, debt, it has become extremely important to replace those in office.

I found this video of Debra Medina, challenger for Governor in the upcoming primary, in which she is very forthcoming with her plans and ideas to go another direction.

This is part 4,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRq1Wz87MFg&feature=related

and the next one, part 5 is even better as she explains with clarity and detail how eliminating property tax will explode the Texas economy. Part 3 is the beginning of her speaking to a group in East Texas and in it she explains how and why she decided to run for Gov in 2008 before the Tea Party, etc. movements.

I urge all who are making judgements about Medina’s positions listen to her explain it to a small group of supporters at a meeting in East Texas. Obviously she wants to make sure no gun registration law comes to Texans and she wants to regain Texan’s freedoms while improving the State’s economy. Her plan is to replace property tax with a consumer tax and she is relying on a study done by a respected state institution.

Please hear her explain it in her own words and then make a judgement on her and her plans for Texas. Thanks.

Yeah. Riiiight.

Dig this Medina ad:

“Who is going to think more about Latino families? Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison or me, who has a Latino family?” (Medina’s cultural heritage is German and Bohemian.)

She told a colleague last month in an e-mail. “Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture.” But before she explained that, she told my colleage, who had asked her whether she considers herself Latina: “I’d not consider myself anything other than a wife and mother, a nurse and a patriot. I believe we too often get into race when it’s immaterial.”

No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.

She is also running Spanish ads. Hello Mrs.Medina! If they cannot speak English then they have no business voting IMO. When they learn English then let them vote. Assimilate. Learn English. Appreciate all America gives you.

So I’m sure she is blowing a lot of hot air just like Obama did just to get elected. Running those ads and saying what she has, tells me the border issue is just a try to get votes for herself.

No, thanks, I’ll stick with ‘ol RINO Perry. Texas has remained in better shape than almost any if not all of the states in the union under Perry's watch. As someone said, 'he's the devil we know'.

The motly crew running for governor is laughable; a MUSLIM, a trecherous RINO woman* (Hutchison) and a woman with questionable loyalties

*Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress “One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchison’s amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.”

She's a Libertarian running on the Republican ticket. She is supported by the Ron Paul worship crowd and she herself has acted in the Ron Paul worship capacity.

She has demonstrated a lack of knowledge about Texas law and current ballot initiatives.

And her pandering to the Hispanics doesn't sit well with me, either.

I'm voting for Perry.

For starters look up Debra Medina's column 'Latinos and the GOP'

'It’s a shame isn’t it, that Republicans continue to ignore Hispanics especially here in Texas?' Debra Medina

'Ignore them', Mrs Medina? Since when? What more do you want? Or shouldn't we ask?

Using your logic Bush was in office as President too long after eight years so it is a good thing that a no experience outsider having no track record replaced him? Kinda of wing and a prayer hopey changie thing

Non-sequitur as the office of the President is term-limited.

In other words you are a Obama supporter?

OMG like totally freaking A yes! How'd did you find out? ROFL

Obama butt-boy using a loop hole because it is less than honest and certainly not a conservative.

GO Debra. Then again, a road-kill armadillo is better than the other two.

Surprised Cheyney is backing the least conservative of the three. Why?
