No problem. It is easy to sink into heated “debates” online, as most times you never meet the people that you are arguing with and really only have what they have been able to articulate in a few brief sentences or paragraphs written in haste to judge their position on. It takes purposeful restraint and self-discipline to avoid falling into that mode. It happens.
Regarding how the RPT handled the Ron Paul supporters at the convention, it was the RP folks who did the sneak attack on the county SD caucuses attempting to eventually disrupt the state convention(s). The RPT probably did over-react, coming down hard on them, but given they only had spotty info. on what was coming and the RP had filed the legal claim at the 11th hour, they really had no choice but to assume the worst and fight back hard.
The U.S. kind of did that in response to the 9/11/01 attack too. Another issue that some RP people disagree with us on. But when you pull the tiger’s tail, you better expect to get his teeth.
All that aside, I think Medina is adding a positive element to the gov. race by bringing up valid Constitutional issues. Just wish Perry and Hutchinson would follow suit and not embarrass themselves by going down in the mud with each other. They are writing Bill White’s campaign ads against the GOP nominee for him.
Bill White is an extremely smart, polished, slick, former top in the US Susman attorney, top of whatever school he ever went to, articulate, successful as a plaintiffs attorney and as a cut-throat business leader, very wealthy, weasel of a politician. He is going to crush Perry in the debates with his slick talk, and his campaign will be near perfect. We have not run up against a Democrat like him in Texas for a long time (probably since Bentsen). I hope that the Party is not taking the race for granted, I am not, and we are going to have to fight for every vote in order to win.
