I heard it Medina...you sounded like a idiot! Nothing worse than a politician trying to dance around a question and doing a really really bad job of it!
When I was in ROTC we used to pull a prank on the freshmen cadets. We would rapidly ask “Are you a Communist, or ever been part of any organization that advocates the violent overthrow of the US government?!”
The startled cadet would hesitate momentarily and then stammers “Er..Sir, no, sir!”
I would state to my fellow senior cadets “He is a Communist! You see he hesitated!”
The point of the exercise is if you believe in something, you should already have an immediate answer to the question.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Medina has her roots in the libertarian side of the Republican party. She has campaigned in the past for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Clute, and she has his supporters working in her campaign.

Debra Medina is a disciple of Ron Paul, having worked on his 2008 Campaign, and follows the same libertarian leaning political stances of her mentor. And it is the libertarian/Ron Paul organization that is at work helping Medina and not the conservative grassroots workers in the Republican Party. And the tactics used in 2008 are now in play in 2010.

This is simply a campaign that’s not on the same level as Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison, or Bill White…or Kinky Friedman for that matter…and is being led by a radical 9/11 truther who is digging herself a deeper hole each and every day. It’s just a blessing it has come out now instead of later. Soon she will be back to her irrelevancy that she was at before this campaign got started.
Many in the Medina Movement are disciples of this libertarian lunacy faction who came up through the Ron Paul Presidential campaign. Remember 2008, every time there was a debate they would flood the on-line polls to justify their existence even though there was no legitimate chance of Paul winning. At events around the country, they would bully event organizers into submission and use “guerilla tactics” to try and get attention. When many of them were asked why they liked Ron Paul — they couldn’t give an answer other than they agree with him that 9/11 was in inside job.
When you consider that Ms. Medina has significant ties to the 9/11 truther movement, has a more libertarian than conservative viewpoint, and has a legion of followers who use “guerilla” tactics;” one has to wonder if this not a movement but a coup d’état by a fringe group? It’s the media’s job to investigate, the question is will they?
