tea party activist

Once again I ask the question, who crowned Medina a "Tea Party Activist"? Our governor has been the one who has been active with the tea party crowds, not funky cold Medina. She is just as much an establishment RINO as the rest being a party chairperson.

Well, the Paulestinians, including Ron Paul himself have been running around taking credit for starting the entire Tea Party movement. They're even complaining because we conservatives are infiltrating it.

Rick Santelli started the Tea Party Nation as a protest against the bailouts. The Paulestinians just jumped on the bandwagon and are trying to take over.

I suspect that's where Ms. Medina and her followers are getting the whole (erroneous) "tea party activist" notion.

I doubt she’d step down from the Senate if she won the Gov in the general. She is way too in love with herself.

“Hutchison told a crowd of more than 40 gathered in a back room at Billy Miner’s Saloon”

Can’t accuse her of being lavish.

“She is for abortion”

This information seems to counter your claim. Please site your source.

http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/node/12586

“Medina is one of the many candidates fighting to be “more conservative than thou” in an attempt to win over the party base. According to the New York Times, Medina staunchly advocates for states’ rights, abolishing property taxes, deploying the Texas National Guard to protect the border from illegal immigrants, and unregulated ownership of property and guns, opposing all federal gun laws.

Medina is also a staunch opponent of abortion rights.

“Life begins at conception and concludes at natural death,” she states on her campaign website. “Every human is created in the image of God. God, not man, is the measure of all things. Every human life is precious and I will work to protect innocent human life.”

IMO, she’s the biggest RINO because she is a Libertarian.

Almost makes you want to take a democrat ballot and vote for Farouk! LOL

How much damage could we do to the other side by voting for their freaks and least likely to succeed?

Operation Chaos all over again.

Yeah baby. I voted for Hillary in Operation Chaos! Texas Two-Step. Got elected as a Democrat delegate for my precinct. (Spouse was an alternate!) It was beautiful. A hard-core Republican behind enemy lines.
