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?

Oh for crying out loud! How ridiculous.

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

I guess on the side of arguing this could be a good thing, one could say that for the first time, perhaps in U.S. history, someone running for public office has used a term that genuinely describes much of the politics we see every day. I can’t argue with that.

No. Years ago ('88?) the Citizens Party (lefty) used the unabbreviated version in radio ads to get attention.

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.

Medina and her campaign manager, Penny Langford Freeman, are former Ron Paul staffers.

Is there a link to the source of the actual press release on the article? If not, it is "Bovine Scatology".

Oh, give me a break. (Not you, Pat, the author)

I'm a soccer mom TEA party/We the People conservative, and even I wasn't offended by this--it's a debate between adults, not on during morning shows when kids could be watching (like the soap operas showing men kissing and having affairs!)--political correctness is fine--don't say it in church, or if there's a bunch of kids around. But in this setting? GO FOR IT, MEDINA. Call it (political rhetoric and outright LIES) for what it is! BS!!!

This writer is apparently a bit left leaning, if he was so easily offended by this. "Her ability to shine when Texans have the opportunity to see her, and her newfound popularity in the polls, are now diminished by the “BS” remark."?! Speaking of BS!!!

Anyone got a link to the actual press release? I want to see the actual "lacing of profanity" myself. Wanna bet there's only one or two 'horrifying' curse words in it???
