Upon reflection of a THIRD 4-year term of RINO Rick Perry, or letting RINO Kay Bailey sit at the governor's mansion, I am willing to accept Medina's answer is that she is not a Truther. She says she's not, and I believe her.

After listening to her today in person myself, it's clear that an outsider who is dedicated to restoring Texas Sovereignty instead of letting Obama and the Federal government run Texas — as they've been running DC the last year — is needed. We cannot afford Perry or Hutchison to run Texas into the ground more than they already have. Their records speaks VOLUMES! I'm done compromising with RINOs!

As Medina said today, "a rising tide lifts all boats". If a Texas governor stands up for the State's 10th Amendment rights, other States will follow. It's CLEAR that Perry and Hutchison will NOT get us there, as they've proven time and time again.

But I think Medina can get us there and restore Texas to being the strongest State in the republic.

In her news conference Friday, it is clear Medina was trying to clean up the mess. But in our interview with her hours after the Beck radio show, she repeated there are still questions that need to be answered.

On Friday, she told reporters she is curious why no New York City police officers died in the towers when so many firefighters did.

!!!!!

That's not true, however, as 60 police officers were killed.

She continued in the interview to say there were valid questions and did not disavow Trutherism.

She is trying to rewrite history.

OK, you guys were hanging out in Kingwood yesterday, weren't you? ;-)

Check out Post #3 on this thread for another amusing installment of Medina-moonbattery.

The second interview took place AFTER the interview with Glenn Beck, so she had plenty of time to “adjust” her thinking, but she went on to utter even more inflamatory nonsense. I think she’s proved she’s a kook or a Truther, if you will.

> I think she’s proved she’s a kook or a Truther, if you will.

I disagree. She’s not a polished turd like Perry and Hutchison,
but she has clarified her statement and without the use of
a teleprompter.

OTOH, Perry and Hutchison have proven they have accepted the hoax
that Federal government can usurp Texas State Sovereignty.

Sorry to hear anyone here bashing Medina is okay with that theory,
conspiracy or otherwise.

I just watched both of the videos and she is truly her own worst enemy! And clearly from the 10 minute video she lies when she says she is not a Truther or a Birther. Her answers prove she is both.

This is why Ron Paul had so much trouble. The Truthers were following him around like puppies. There are many in the Tea Parties and all we need is to have a MSM reporter interview a couple of them and all of us will be kooks. If Medina is a Truther, she is finished.

I don’t particularly like Gov goodhair, but there is no way I can vote for a Paul-bot.

I am going by her words. I read your post. You saw her in person and you’ve elected to believe her and you reside in Texas. I most certainly don’t begrudge you your opinion or candidate choice. I think you know I respect you and value your friendship. We will disagree on this candidate. It’s as simple as that.

Interesting! I didn’t watch both videos, so thank you for your report. Maybe I’ll watch the second one tomorrow. It’s too late right now! Yikes.

It will be interesting to see if she can come back from that mess.

Sorry to hear that you and that woman think so little of America, President Bush, the military and everyone else that you think murdered all those people.

Someone interviewed said the first two words out of her mouth in respponse to the question were “I don”t”.

Well now, isn’t that convenient to describe the context of this exchange from the transcript;

(snip)
BECK: Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the world trade centers on 9/11?

MEDINA: I, I don’t, I don’t have all the evidence there, Glenn, so I don’t, I, I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly, uh, questioning that, I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard, uh, there’s some very good arguments and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there, so I’ve not taken a position on that. (snip)

Just quit the contortionistic excuses, please. She got caught flat footed with a very simple and direct question and, oops, the truth slipped out because Beck got her off her scripted talking points earlier in the interview.

Paulbots do not trust the Federal Government. At all.

Well, that in itself as a general position isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s when you start to pick it apart and see how it translates to policy is when it starts to get nutty (at best) and dangerous (at worst).

Jeepers! Where are any non-Truther candidates?

Do I have to move to Texas to run as a Conservative for Governor?
