HOUSTON — Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina, reeling from her remarks that questioned whether the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, on Friday blamed the ensuing firestorm on a “coordinated attack” that she speculated came from the campaigns of her better-known GOP rivals.

I was starting to talk her up to people I know (though I’m not in Texas) because of some of her speeches out there on you-tube, and some of what I’ve read about her, I liked what I was hearing.

So this is disappointing. Still, its a simple question, and if you can’t answer it without hemming and hawing, you’ve answered the question. And the answer is what it is and the consequences are what they are.

I have tried to find out from the beginning who he was. The closest I came was a small rancher of cattle of which kind no one will say and possibly associated with some left wing education thingy which I am not sure of.

If I remember right, the Republican good-old-boys-club in Alaska did very similar stuff to Sarah.

Some people get their panties in a wad when I say we knew she was a truther before Beck’s show.

Medina said Friday the question from Beck caught her “unaware” and caused her to “over guess.”

“I could have done that better and I'll endeavor to be a little more articulate in the future,” she said.


The best thing she could do at this time is stop the damn whining and admit she screwed the pooch. Didn't she take to crying or something when she lost something with the GOP? Or maybe she filed a suit against them. The woman has no sense of ownership for her own words and actions. Loser from the get go it seems.

I don’t recall any “good old boys” zapping Palin with HAARP to make her give stupid truther answers twice in one day.

humblegunner,
I have a seasonal pond in my back yard.
When it has water in it abotu every 4th day I go out in the back yard and get a crawfish or three out of the pool.
I have a couple in the fish tank and they are as good as lobster to look at.

So what was her excuse for doing it again two hours later?

“I could have done that better and I'll endeavor to be a little more articulate in the future,”

Well that's reassuring . . . especially on so difficult a question.

Yet another conspiracy?

No, it's just the Texas GOP punishing a local grassroots conservative candidate for daring to challenge the anointed Party elite.

Beck sandbagged her good and we're supposed to quietly pretend that we didn't notice.

Only the big money cronies and lobbyists are supposed to have a voice in the Texas GOP, you know.

I think it must be some kind of rule they adopted back when Dubya was governor.

I recall McCain sending brainwaves her way to make yammer on senselessly about how good amnesty was and how important it was to solve global warming.

Matter of fact I recall her telling Lars Larson great and legit it was for birthers to be doing their thing, only to find out she pulled a Medina.

You are right Capt. norm,
I have occasional hemorrhoids and it’s Bush’s fault.

You get any of this storm today?

Check her husband’s past associations for some eye opening.

What about her husband? Care to elaborate on that comment?

" It’s a wonder she didn’t blame George Bush...that’s very popular right now."

LOL, except when slow Joe Biden talks about the Iraq success story.

That's odd.

We've been preaching this for a while.

Demonstrably.
