Funky cold Medina ping.
Well, that is one term for it. I would call it BS...You are too kind.
Check her husband’s past associations for some eye opening.
These people who blame Beck are just as bad nuts as truthers. I would never vote for truthers, people who support truthers, and people who don’t like Beck!!
Vote Perry!
Dead candidate whining. She’s toast.
Whaaa! Whaaa! Someones picking on me!
“Blame others” is what Democrats and Progressives do. She is showing her true colors.
Yet another conspiracy?
It’s a wonder she didn’t blame George Bush...that’s very popular right now.
LOL
There’d be no problem if she’d simply said “I don’t believe the U.S. Government had any role in causing the 9-11 attacks.”
I realize she answered both yes and no to the question but anyone who is a credible candidate knows better than to open that can of worms. It just makes her look like a nut.
She has nobody but herself to blame for that.
I’ll agree Beck’s question and the reactions to it look somewhat like a smear but any politician ready to be governor knows how to shoot down that sort of question and she didn’t. THAT’S why her support is going to crater - because she just illustrated why she’s not up to being governor.
Don’t blame Perry or KBH for that. It’s like asking “do you still beat your wife?” As a politician, you instinctively learn how to deal with those sort of questions.
Guilty.
I was starting to talk her up to people I know (though I’m not in Texas) because of some of her speeches out there on you-tube, and some of what I’ve read about her, I liked what I was hearing.
So this is disappointing. Still, its a simple question, and if you can’t answer it without hemming and hawing, you’ve answered the question. And the answer is what it is and the consequences are what they are.
If I remember right, the Republican good-old-boys-club in Alaska did very similar stuff to Sarah.
Some people get their panties in a wad when I say we knew she was a truther before Beck’s show.
“I could have done that better and I'll endeavor to be a little more articulate in the future,” she said.
The best thing she could do at this time is stop the damn whining and admit she screwed the pooch. Didn't she take to crying or something when she lost something with the GOP? Or maybe she filed a suit against them. The woman has no sense of ownership for her own words and actions. Loser from the get go it seems.
humblegunner,
I have a seasonal pond in my back yard.
When it has water in it abotu every 4th day I go out in the back yard and get a crawfish or three out of the pool.
I have a couple in the fish tank and they are as good as lobster to look at.
Well that's reassuring . . . especially on so difficult a question.
Medina, hailing from Beeville, learned political skills on the range

She was "very smart, determined and hard-headed," says her mother. "When she sets her mind to something, she pretty well makes the decision and sticks with it."
By hard-headed, her mother meant her daughter's leaving home, which was tied up with her relationship with Noe Medina, whom she began dating in 1980 after meeting him at work at a grocery store.
Noe Medina was "one of the finest students I've taught," Belew said. "He was an excellent student, and a very nice kid and top of the class."
But he was Mexican-American; her parents forbade the relationship; she left home. (At the time, said Belew, A.C. Jones High School still had separate proms for Hispanics and whites.)
Two weeks after she graduated from Bee County Community College in 1982, she and Medina married, and she has basically been estranged from her parents since, she said.
"It is purely racial," Debra Medina said. "At the age of 18, as difficult as it was, I didn't know then that 30 years later they would maintain that position. When push comes to shove, I always hope to choose the principle, and even when my parents said no, I knew they were wrong."
Her mother, who said she heard her daughter was running for governor through a radio host in Beeville, has spoken with Medina about the race; Medina doesn't speak with her father.
