Tea Party groups are supporting Medina. Perry is a sleazeball behind closed-doors from what my political friends in the Rep. Party of Texas tell me. They also tell me that Medina is the most principled person they know.

Perry is a big cheerleader of Texas’ greatness, but the cold-hard reality is that Texas will be facing an economic crisis similar to California’s in the next 2-3 years if course is not changed, i.e., spending cuts, etc.

Contrary to popular belief, the tax structure in Texas is not the most fair. Property taxes are sky high, the business tax is a job-killer, and on top of that we have the sales tax. Medina wants to have revenue raised strictly off a state sales tax.

Perry and KBH have completely ignored Medina so we have no idea where they stand on her ideas.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that. I’d figured your tax structure was similar to TN’s, which is primarily sales tax, since y’all don’t have an income tax either. Will we keep KBH’s senate seat at least?
