But there is much about her I will have to research before she gets my vote. (before you suggest I check out her website I need to say that I do as much independent research as possible.)
I would like to see more of the speech in which she addresses secession. She kind of laid that off on a response to Perry. It sounded to me like she was on board, from the clip.
I will have to look at the numbers for a consumption tax vs property tax (although I like the idea). But will that bring enough tax dollars to operate on?
There are several items I want to check into...but I won't bore you.
One of my favorite moments of the debate was when cornered about the ads KBH is incessantly running about the TCC..she admitted it was the sentiment that lived on. KBH will not get my vote unless the choice is between her and a Dem. And it will hurt.
I fear Medina could well pull enough voters from Perry to force a run-off. And I don't think she can win today.
The way they presented that speech of Debra’s from the “sovereignty vs. secession rally” was a total hit job. If you listen to the very next two lines she says AFTER where they stopped playing the clip she says that she’s not in favor of secession (which was a pretty brave thing to do in front of an audience of many people who are), as we haven’t tried the more moderate means of nullification and interposition to defend Texas’ sovereignty yet.
It was a very clear distinction she made in her speech - being in favor of nullification and being against secession. The way they edited that clip - in conjunction with the question that went along with it - was so dishonest and manipulative by the debate people that it made me want to jump into the TV screen and give them a piece of my mind. They absolutely knew they were lying about Debra the way they set that up... but I believe that was their intention all along.
