As the second debate among contenders for the GOP nomination for Governor of Texas was nearing its start Debra Medina issued a press release that really caught my eye. The title of the Press Release contained profanity, so did the body of the Press Release. There in the headline was a term used commonly in some circles throughout Texas. Medina used that term to describe one of Rick Perry’s positions which she called “BS”, only she didn't abbreviate.

Who cares if there is a little ‘salt’ in the words.
Where has the manicured, milquetoast RINO’s nicety nice Mr. Rogers tone led us to recently in this nation?
On the bad side, or at the very least, strange side, one could say that the use of such a term in a press release could be seen as the sign of an amateurish or ignorant candidate.
How about a REALLY angry candidate? I see Freepers say BS! all the time.
Honestly, I don't know anything about this race but I think being polite has sunk us more than once. Oh and, I don't like profanity and have seldom used any
Frm wikipedia:
During the 1980 U.S. presidential campaign, the Citizens Party candidate Barry Commoner ran a radio advertisement that began with an actor exclaiming: “Bullshit! Carter, Reagan and Anderson, it’s all bullshit!” NBC refused to run the advertisement because of its use of the expletive, but Commoner’s campaign successfully appealed to the Federal Communications Commission to allow the advertisement to run unedited.[5]
So it was 1980.
None!
I’d put my money on KB Hutchison for having the worst “potty mouth” of the three candidates!
I saw the first debate and considered Medina to be a lightweight that only repeated her memorized talking points instead of answering the questions posed; same trick that Obama uses when not aided by his TOTUS script.
Missed the Friday night debate because the weekly TV schedule from the Dallas paper did not show it to be on.
Medina is a Libertarian and is being boosted in the polls by backers of Ron Paul and by Democrats. She has no executive or business experience (again, like Obama) and is only muddying the water in the GOP primary. Hopefully, her being the race will take votes away from KBH, the RINO that has been in D.C. for far too long to be trusted in Texas.
Commoner was one of those pseudo-scientists (”The Closing Circle”) into doomsday scenarios, and served as one of the great ALgore’s earliest ‘inspirations’.
Medina and her campaign manager, Penny Langford Freeman, are former Ron Paul staffers.
OOPS SORRY
Ann Richards?
What choice do we have?
Medina ad:
“Who is going to think more about Latino families? Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison or me, who has a Latino family?” (Medina’s cultural heritage is German and Bohemian.)
She told a colleague last month in an e-mail. “Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture.” But before she explained that, she told my colleage, who had asked her whether she considers herself Latina: “I’d not consider myself anything other than a wife and mother, a nurse and a patriot. I believe we too often get into race when it’s immaterial.”
No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.
She is also running Spanish ads. Hello Mrs.Medina! If they cannot speak English then they have no business voting IMO. When they learn English then let them vote. Assimilate. Learn English. Appreciate all America gives you.
So I’m sure she is blowing a lot of hot air just like Obama did just to get elected. Running those ads and saying what she has, tells me the border issue is just a try to get votes for herself.
No, thanks, I’ll stick with ‘ol RINO Perry. Texas has remained in better shape than almost any if not all of the states in the union under Perry's watch. As someone said, 'he's the devil we know'.
The motly crew running for governor is laughable; a MUSLIM, a trecherous RINO woman* (Hutchison) and a woman with questionable loyalties
*Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress “One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchison’s amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.”

So there are bigger issues than a candidate using “BS”.
