Medina, Beck and Facing The Giants
TheCypressTimes.com ^ | 02/12/2010 | John G. Winder

Posted on 02/12/2010 10:14:32 AM PST by Patriot1259

I asked Debra Medina point blank if she is a 9/11 Truther. Medina’s answer was a simple and to the point, “No.”

Debra Medina entered the Governor’s race as a David standing before not just Goliath, but two Goliaths: Sitting Governor Rick Perry and longtime U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Medina didn’t have a chance. Yet here she is today still tilting at windmills and facing down Goliaths. Now a new and powerful foe has come along to oppose Medina in the form of nationally known conservative talk show host Glenn Beck.

She just had a press conference but one of her idiot campaign staffers forgot to turn on the mic.

Amateur hour. Apparently she blew it with this conference as well, I’ll see if there is a transcript somewhere.

Do I need to check my sound driver?
Is that a silent movie, like in the Harold Lloyd days?

What a bunch of tools.

Listened to the analysis of Bek interview, this morning KSEV 700AM , Houston. Ed Hendee host 6-9AM. No matter how much i think her conservatism is not an act (compared to the other 2 RINOs,) i could not drive down to Texas and cast a vote for her.

I hated that Medina said this stuff. This was no sandbagging by Bek. Medina had a heads up on the subject matter question comming if you listen to the interview. I am disappointed at her answer.

Are you a conservative? A progressive conservative? A progressive?

I'm a mean-spirited, knuckle-dragging, paleoconservative America First!!! nationalist.

I enjoy pricking pudgy pinhead open border globalist pundits with my pitchfork.

Perry Opens Wide Lead and Medina Surges In Governor’s Race, Poll Finds

Feb. 12, 2010
AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Rick Perry has taken a commanding lead in the run-up to the March Republican primary, receiving support from 45 percent of likely voters, compared to 21 percent for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and 19 percent for GOP activist Debra Medina, according to a statewide poll conducted by The University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Tribune.

The difference between Hutchison’s and Medina’s support is within the poll’s 5.12 percentage point margin of error for the Republican sample, suggesting the two are in a statistical dead heat. If no candidate receives 50 percent of the vote in the March 2 primary, the top two vote getters will face each other in an April runoff.

Trying to clarify 9/11 comment, Medina raises new questions

“The 9/11 Commission Report, you know, great sections of that are redacted and they’re top secret,” she told KTRK-TV in Houston. “That makes us wonder what is happening back there. The same is true with the birth certificate thing. It is healthy that people are asking questions.”

Yep...
it's far better than kowtowing to those spineless, wimpy 'tards who are guiding the GOP down the path to oblivion nowadays, that's for sure.

I sleep very well at night knowing that I didn't vote for their weasely RINO butts.... so you can blame that on someone else. LOL!

"Glen Beck should be ashamed of himself..."

Nonsense. He asked her a question. If she weren't a truther the answer would have been simple. Don't blame Beck because she's a nutjob.

For starters look up Debra Medina’s column ‘Latinos and the GOP’

It’s a shame isn’t it, that Republicans continue to ignore Hispanics especially here in Texas?’ Debra Medina

‘Ignore them’, Mrs Medina? Since when? What more do you want? Or shouldn’t we ask?

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.)

Medina statement “Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture.”

Another statement (upon being asked if she considers herself a 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.”

I'm sick and tired of illegals flooding into Texas, bringing with them crime, third world diseases, sucking our welfare system dry AND WHINING FOR MORE!

I don't believe for one minute Medina's propaganda aboout wanting to strengthen the border!

No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.Take your sombrero out of the ring and go home.

Won’t happen because no one will send him emails telling them of some activity or record that suggests they are “birthers.”

Beck’s crush made Medina unable to answer a question? Was that why she brought up “mind control’ and “psychological testing?”

She said she doesn’t HAVE mind control or psychological testing to determine what her supporters may or may not believe

“goofed up”

From her website:
Endorsement from Harry Briers, Sugar Land:

“A vote for Debra is a vote for Freeodom”

Free Odom!

What a bunch of tools.

I suggest we send him a few emails inquiring whether Hutchison is involved with a coven of lesbian witches.

From Beck's web site:

We put this candidate on the air because we remember hammered by their supporters and I was sick and tired of being hammered by their supporters, quite honestly. Please don't, don't try to bully us or intimidate us into having a candidate on. We don't do local politics usually. The reason why I decided to finally have them on is because she went from 4% to, what was it, 24%, 26%?

Sounds like Beck may have had it in for her from the get go because of the pressure from her supporters.

I heard the interview and I believe when Beck heard what he "needed" to hear he really didn't listen to any more of her answer, and his talking over her didn't give us much opportunity to hear it either. He disappointed me greatly.

Sounded to me like Medina was rattled by the question and maybe when she gets rattled she starts talking and goes on too long. We all know someone like that.

I head her explanation later in an interview on KLIF radio and I believe her. She hasn't lost my support. Whether or not she can get out in front of this before the primary remains to be seen. They say any publicity is good publicity.

And if Beck wants to French kiss Rick Perry, well... get a room, boys.
