It was probably pretty easy, actually. He didn't vote for bailouts, and he isn't a Rondementalist Troofer.
That being said, here's wishing that the actual Tea Partiers had gotten on the same page early on and rallied behind a truly conservative candidate, instead of letting a pro-gay marriage, pro-drug legalisation Troofer nutcase steal their label.
Asked about gay marriage, she said she believes marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman with God at the center.
While she supports some libertarian ideas and has been a longtime supporter of Representative Ron Paul, the Texas libertarian, she hastens to point out that she is not in favor of legalizing drugs.
More:
Mrs. Medina does not believe that legalizing drugs is the answer, but she is willing to discuss other methods of attacking this problem. Drug crimes and drug usage wreak havoc on our society and if there is a better approach to handling this problem, Mrs. Medina welcomes the discussion. The discussion isn't over making drugs legal, but more, what can we do as a society to get a better handle on these issues. Her message of allowing Texans to decide their own drug laws has been misconstrued and distorted. She does not advocate legalizing illegal drugs, she advocates discussing this issue and working to resolve the negative effects that drugs have on our society.
And an FYI for you Perry supporters, he holds the exact same position Medina does on drugs:
Western Governors agree that states, not the federal government, are in the best position to understand the myriad of drug related issues facing their citizens and to initiate and implement drug policy strategies that will combat the substance abuse problems facing their communities.
As for the idiotic "truther" argument, which has absolutely nothing to to with governing Texas, I am sick to death of the "well if she didn't outright deny it then it must be true" meme. It is totally bogus. Even Glenn Beck said back in September of last year on one of his shows that there were still legitimate questions unanswered about 9/11. What Medina said was that there were some legitimate questions about 9/11 left unanswered and that everyone has the right to question the Government.
I also agree with that premise, and would even add that there was an orchestrated effort on the part of certain entities in the Government to lie and obstruct the investigation to cover up their own incompetence as has been publicly admitted by the 911 investigators, but that does not make me a "truther" by any stretch of the imagination.
