Debra Medina (R), candidate for Texas Governor, addresses illegal immigration and the fact that D.C. has announced the deportation of 37,000 illegals from other states through Presidio, TX. Current Gov. Perry sends handwringing letter to Janet Napolitano while border sheriffs are left trying to devise ways to block the 37,000 from swarming back over the border into TX, further destroying the economy.
Guess you missed Perry's attempt at "Operation Linebacker" several years ago where he tried to order the TNG to take on border security. The Feds actually blocked him from doing it as they claim it was out of his jurisdiction (claiming border control is federal only).
One one the things that really hurt Ron Paul was a bunch of his people signing up to post support for him then lying about it.
Don’t let that happen to you as you posting history doesn’t support your responses on this thread.
She convinced me and everyone who attended the meeting that she was the "real deal" as far as being a conservative is concerned.
We raised a bit more than $2000 for her campaign. Not a big sum, but this is the way she is raising money--going straight to the people with her campaign.
I am supporting Mrs. Medina, also. Being right up front, I will tell you that I did host a fund raising party for her in my home
Basil I have no problems with someone promoting a candidate. It only seemed very strange about this signup posting only info about Medina, linking her web site and promoting funding. I really don’t care one way or the other but it would seem better if they were up front if in fact that is what this person is doing.
I know you’ve been here a long time and I think if you were promoting her like a campaign worker would I think you’d tell us. JMO.
First off — I am not a fan of Texas Governor Rick Perry. And I do not like nor support Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison...
While Debra Medina talks a good talk - and on the surface sounds pretty good... I have problems with her position on illegal immigration and Amnesty.
I have listened to Debra Media on radio recently and what I heard out of her mouth on the subject of illegal aliens were HEDGE WORDS... Medina made some pretty acceptable statements on border security - very good... But she called Illegal Aliens - Illegal Laborers... not a good sign.
Median also used the hedge phrase ‘no one has made a ‘commitment’ to solve the problem... I ask ‘what commitment? Commitment to do what? This is nothing but politico blather.... yada yada yada — Say what you really mean Ms. Medina or STFU.
In my opinion Medina is hiding her true feelings about fellow Hispanics... I believe Medina like most other politicians is worried about offending those who support illegal aliens and that Medina would support Amnesty for the 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. at the drop of a hat...
Bottom line - Medina has NEVER made a DEFINITIVE statement on her position in the matters discussed above - NEVER.
I believe Medina is at heart an illegal alien sympathizer. And unless she makes definitive and believable statements to the contrary - then Medina is what she seems to be... and that won’t cut it...... Signed — A Texas Voter
Hmmm... I said I supported her 100%. I do not work for her campaign. I just signed up on Free Republic a few days ago so you may want to take a look at my history before insuating that I am a liar. Just a few short paragraphs on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc....
Question:
Do you know if Medina is any kin to the Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina that comes from the Houston Area?
I have no idea who Debra Medina is related to...
I trust not a single politician relative to the subject of Illegal Aliens and Amnesty UNLESS that politicians makes full disclosure on that subject... And so far Debra Medina has made no such full disclosure on this subject matter...
Politicians who fail or refuse to make full disclosure on critical issues are just plain LIARS - until proven otherwise.
Who cares who posted what? Do you agree that there is a problem with the Feds dumping a ton of illegals right across the border of a small TX county? Do you agree that Rick Perry and KBH have done nothing to support that community in fighting off the onslaught of these illegals swarming back across the border? Debra Medina is not a politician so has no “record” of handling illegal immigration or any other “political” matter. She’s a nurse trying to bring common sense back to government. Stop trying to dodge the issues and steer things to whether the poster has enough experience on the site to justify their post.
Who cares who posted what?
Apparently you do as you’ve responded a couple of times.... Have a good evening.
I listen to Jeff Bolten several mornings a week. Jeff means well but he is a pussy - claiming to be a Conservative...
Bolten allows his so called conviction to religion to overwhelm his good sense... Softy Bolten always wants to see the value of the ‘Other Side’ on most every issue... but has no real ability to properly balance the delivery...
Bolton proclaims, all the while, that he is a staunch Conservative ... BALONEY I say ... There are times - when listening to Bolten’s softy blathering that I am convinced he voted for Obama...
Therefore I trust nothing that the so called ‘conservative’ Bolton presents.
Recently Bolton had a whole morning series for Gays, then another for women, etc., etc. — Not realizing that he was falling into the Leftist - Progressive Trap of ‘divide and conquer’ - Diversity for Diversity’s sake means everything... I kept wondering why Bolton just didn’t have panels of AMERICANS responding to the issues of the day... Sorry Diversity CRAP INDEED.
Gee sorry for trying to steer the topic back to politics and not personal attacks on a poster. Guess I’m just not as familiar with etiquette as you.

Ping.
(Used an old list and left you out. Apologies!)
The point is that you have NO history here. I was “insuating” nothing, I was giving a bit of advice.
Being a smart ass doesn’t help you either as I already think less of Medina because of you.
Basil,
On this thread alone No Apologies in Texas and Mac n Jac have done more damage to Medina than they realize.
Maybe it is enthusiasm, but them insulting long time conservative FReepers isn’t going to help Medina a bit.
From one Second Amendment Sister to another, you might want to take them under your wing rather than have them work against you.
A candidate needs 50% to avoid a runoff in TX primaries, so if conservatives vote for Medina it won’t lead to the RINO KBH beating the uninspiring Perry, but it could keep Perry from getting to 50% and throwing the race to a low-turnout runoff between Perry and KBH. Medina has no chance of making the runoff.
BTW, FWIW, Medina is an ally of Ron Paul.
I can live with that. Governors have no say over foreign policy.
Yeah. I’d vote for her if I was a Texan. She’s polling at 4% right so it’s hopeless barring a big change.
Texas freepers seem to loathe Perry but I have to prefer him to KBH. I hope she still resigns if she loses the primary. She might stay for the rest of her term.
