I heard her actual quote... she did NOT say that she blames the US government. She was trying to make a “no comment” statement, saying that she didn’t have all the evidence to even make a statement on the facts.
The media is REALLY twisting this around.
To even suggest it's a possibility alone is enough for me to consider such a person an idiot of the highest order.
How could she not have all the evidence by now. Its been over 8 years.

I'm sorry, but "no comment" will not cut it. "No Comment" means she would entertain the possibility that Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell may be right. The default answer should be that the U.S. had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, other than allowing terrorists easy entry into the country. Unless she has evidence to the contrary, it is foolish and insane to even entertain the notion that the U.S. was involved.
I was really seriously considering voting for Medina, but now she is looking like another Ron Paul moonbat. Even if she is strong on other issues, I could never vote for a moonbat.
Makes NO difference now. She has given the Democrats enough ammo to sink her if she were to make it past the primaries.
Look what they did with Sarah Palin's palm notes. Then imagine what they can/will do with this high-grade ammunition.
It occurs to me that all the "pundants" and most people here SEEM to be for changing congress...voting the bastards out, so to speak. If we disqualify Ms. Medina for one stupid statement, then we in Texas are stuck with only establishment candidates are we not? There is no hope of changing the "status quo". It actually appears that some of the talk show hosts are actively working against her, and dismissing that she actually may have "misspoke".
As a qualified voter of the State of Texas, I am sticking with Debra Medina in the primaries, and if she loses, I will reluctantly support a RINO for governor....because I have to.....since there is no real conservative in the race since everybody thinks she is "toast" because of a supid mistake..
Come on folks....Ms Medina is not like Van Jones....Van Jones is a certifiable nut, an admitted Communist, and an on the record "truther"....
That was my impression as well. Apparently, she's not adept yet at the political non-answer answers.
I still like her. So far, the only strike against her is lack of experience.
“She was trying to make a “no comment” statement, saying that she didn’t have all the evidence to even make a statement on the facts.”
Even if true, how does that make it better? She’s leaving the door open to the idea that 9/11 was done by the US Govt.
>> I heard her actual quote... she did NOT say that she blames the US government. She was trying to make a “no comment” statement, saying that she didn’t have all the evidence to even make a statement on the facts.
She was directly asked “Do you think the US Government was involved in bringing down the WTC?” ... and her fundamental answer was “I’m keeping an open mind.”
That’s not twisting — that’s a fact. The fact that she has an open mind about the subject is, itself, disqualifying. It is entirely possible that she believes that 9-11 was an inside job, and that was her way of trying to wriggle out without answering.
If she didn’t believe 9-11 was an inside job, she would’ve just said “No”.

I heard her actual quote too ... she clearly believes it to be in the realm of possibilities that the US Government, at the very least, "let it happen".
The media is REALLY twisting this around.
Bull. You can't "no comment" on "was the government behind 9/11." You answer it basically the same way you answer the question "did the holocaust really happen?" - you treat it as the moonbattery that it is. "I don't have all the evidence" and "there are a lot of good arguments" are disqualifying answers to that question, and rightfully so.
That is equally bad.
Well, if someone asked me if I thought the US Gov. was involved in 9/11, it would take me less than a nano second to reply NO! To me that is not a “No comment” kind of question.
