WAS she the only conservative? Seems to me she first took a hard stance on immigration, and then she flip-flopped stating that Texas couldn’t do without our productive neighbors coming in here illegally. That’s a serious flip flop...showing she would say something and then do another.
And then she couldn’t even handle the 9/11 Truther moment? Because she wasn’t ‘prepared’ for it? Of course then there’s support for Ron Paul, and visits with whacko Alex Jones on his show. Neither of which show me a STRONG candidate.
And YES, there was always the chance Medina would cause the election to be handed to Hutchison, ALWAYS.
Don’t get me wrong, there are many admirable things about Debra Medina. But I am never ready to just turn something over to somebody on their ‘words’. They have to show me a clear record of doing what they said they would do.
And thirdly I just wasn’t buying her sales and consumption tax as opposed to property tax. I deliberately chose my lake cabin in a county with extremely low property taxes that operates very efficiently to keep them low. Do I want to change that to a sales tax and consumption tax regulated by the state? NO, I don’t. I have more input into my local taxing authority.
You make some good points. To address the immigration “flip flop” if I remember correctly she got that charge hung on her when she said we needed a way to let immigrants come here legally but not allow illegal aliens to keep streaming in in violation of our laws.
The tax situation is tough. I’m against any property tax because it turns your property into a rental from the ruling class. I’m also against socialized schooling. Think how your property tax would change were the school tax eliminated.
If we are going to continue to have a feudal system where we rent our land from our rulers, I’d like to see the value frozen at what is paid for the land when title transfers. But I’m open to other suggestions on funding necessary government as long as the option brings in less money than the property tax and doesn’t tax income.
That being said, I still wish Sarah had endorsed Medina and believe Sarah’s endorsement would have been a big boost to her. But someone may have a different opinion and there is no way to go back and prove which is right.
