Who listened to Debra Medina on Beck and came away disgusted. She basically admitted that she is a 911 Truther.
Her run has ended
“Beck’s right on this: if you can’t discern evil, property taxes are not as big an issue.”
Agree. Property taxes are a matter of principle, but being honest/right about matters of national security and life-and-death is ho-hum? ...
uhhh ... no.
“she said some have asked valid questions and they have not been adequately answered so she was keeping an open mind”
Within 10 MINUTES of the attack, folks on FR figured out it was an Al Qaeda attack. We now have CIA-derived confessions to all the details, which, if you read the 9/11 Commission Report, you’d know exactly what happened and how the AQ conspiracy led by Khalid Sheik Mohammed and OBL went down.
The truthers are *NOT* asking valid questions. they are nutters who are attacking people of good faith in our Govt. its a slander.
the correct answer to the question is that 9/11 was an attack by AQ and the US Govt had nothing to do with it of course.
Beck did not embarrass Medina, she embarrassed herself with a stupid answer.
TTC is dead, TxDOT has revamped rules, there are no no-bid contracts. You are fearing a hobgoblin that is no more.
“She said she did not have enough info. She did not admit to being a truther.”
Would she give the same answer to the question:
“Who attacked us at Pearl harbor in 1941?”
I mean seriously, how ignorant do you have to be to not know what happened in the 9/11 attack?
“Has no one given consideration that the Democrats are prime to start running as Republicans coming from the Tea Party movement but using it as a cover? Get elected and switch to Dem or vote with the Dems. Rahm Emanual and Axelrod will do anything to keep control.”
No. The DEMOCRATS running in Republican primaries are running against real conservatives.
Example, real conservative Republican Ken Mercer in SBOE 5 is being challenged by a guy who gave to Democrats big $$$ just last year.

“Suit yourself. My boss who is a liberal, gay activist went to a White fundraiser two nights ago. An all gay affair, as it were. That tells me all I need to know about White. He ain’t no Blue Dog.”
There are no blue dogs. The liberals and trial lawyers own the Texas Democrat party. Anyone who doesnt know that has been conned.
There are some distinct advantages to be had in avoiding a runoff.

The first answer from a politician is almost always the most honest answer because they havent had time to figure out the ‘right’ answer.
Nice CYA, but she blew it by not saying it in the interview itself.
“When the professionals question if a half trained Arab flew a 757 into the Pentagon, I will question it also. “
Well then, you are wasting our time asking dumb questions(*), and you shouldn’t think of running for Gov anytime soon.
(*) A good test of something being possible is that IT HAPPENED.
True, when it comes down to it, they always vote with he Socialists.
Oh, no, not the “Building 7” crap. Are you kidding? Every expert in the country has explained this a hundred times over. If you choose not to believe them you’re too stupid to play here.
Well Madam, I’m honest and decent and not a n****r or a chinaman. I guess I’m just going to have to be a stupid guy who’s having a hard time swallowing the crap that’s put out for the sheeple like you. I don’t think Truman would believe it either.
I sat with 200 structural and forensic engineers going over the entire structural and fire analysis and there was’t an issue raised were hard evidence and data had not been gathered from doxens of angles.
Outside the field of construction, engineering and forensics you might have some doubts if you see a lot of conspiracy in other events, but it didn’t happen here and those of us in those fields were really looking at it hard.
I have walked amongst the damage done by our military bombers and I have seen just how rugged steel beam constructed buildings actually are. I have the hardest time believing that a simple fire can level a building more completely than explosive bombs do.
Off course that is becuase it has been portrayed as a fire without the explanation of the complexity of the event.
We first had an impact with the damage to critical elements of support. We then had a group of jet fuel assisted fires working in multiple areas with plenty of burnable materials in place to burn. The fuel was largely burned and blasted off in seconds but the ignition was critical. The structual collapse wes turned from incidental to the climax of the fire into catastrophic due to the incredible height of the building creating a huge kenetic stored energy source due to the height of the building.
The collapse of the burning floors thus unleashed the entire weight of the upper fourth of the mass of the building from a great height and the more it destroyed below it the greater the collapsing mass became.
I will try to look up a good forensic analysis of the event for you to examine, but I put that stuff away years ago.
It was a very unusual event but would happen in a similar manner to other structures of this height and construction.
and your answer for Bldg #7 is?
At the time of the engineering meeting I remember going over that as it was an area of others pointed questions. To be honest I can’t even rememer the details.
I didn’t chime in to attempt to give you some lengthy point by point refutation. I just want to share that there are plenty of us on the old side of conservatism that looked in 02 to 05 and found all the answers we needed to dismiss it. If it is a position you hold dear — maintain it.
But I do encourage you to give true forensic examination a through going over. It ain’t a Ruby Ridge, there is no FBI sniper.
I appreciate the polite replies you have given. Thank you
I think that just because you express doubts and questions, you end up unfairly lumped in with Rosie and Charlie Sheen with their leftist agendas, you should be given a chance to bring up your points. You are going to have to bear that cross every time you bring it up.
As I have said, the doubts will never be settled on internet forums but only through evidenciary investigations. A good book from my side of the fence was also compiled by the editors of Popular Mechanics — might be worth a look.
“I have the hardest time believing that a simple fire can level a building more completely than explosive bombs do.’
The fire did not cause the collapse, although it contributed to it. The cause of collapse was the weight of the floors above the crash floors. They eventually fell into the structural gaps created where the planes impacted. Once they started falling, the floors below could not stop them.
