Debra Medina, new star of America's right, is firing up the race for Texas governor
The Observer ^ | 2-28-10 | Paul Harris

Posted on 02/28/2010 7:12:26 AM PST by Pantera

Lytle is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of town, one of hundreds that dot the vast flat ranchlands of southern Texas. A smear of houses by the main highway between San Antonio and Laredo. Population: 2,383. The first streets only got paved here in the years after the second world war. A sewage system took a little longer, not being built until the 1960s. In short, Lytle, Texas, has never been big enough to have much impact on the politics of the Lone Star state. And few Texas politicians have ever paid much attention to it.

I would have believed this headline before the Beck interview. Watch her only pull in single digits Tuesday.

Me, I'll be holding my nose and voting Perry.

Not true big’ol_freeper,
That old saying all politics is local is a lie.
What happens in other states DOES affect where you are.
Just look at Brown in Mass.

The people I know who were considering her, are voting for Perry.


I think that is the crux of the matter. If they stay with her it becomes a runoff. If they abondon her then Perry has an excellent chance of winning without a runoff. About the only signs I see are Medina but that is only a very few. I didn’t even see governor signs around the early voting locations.

LaRaza came out with support for her

What is the source for that?

The question was NOT do you agree with questioning government. She was asked if the government was INVOLVED. Here is the actual question and her clear answer.

GLENN: Right. Here’s then let me be more frank and ask you the question: Do you believe the government was any way INVOLVED with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?

MEDINA: I don’t, I don’t have all of the evidence there,

Hmmmmm. Seems to me that she is saying "I don't have all the evidence." Do you see where she is saying something else?

Glenn. So I don’t I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I’ve not taken a position on that.

Again I see where she is saying that she believes we have not seen all the evidence and because of that she has "Not taken a position on that." How are you seeing it?

GLENN'S SPIN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.

MEDINA: Well.....

Try to spin WHAT she said, not what you THOUGHT she said.

Not what I "thought" she said??? I underlined and bolded what she actually said from your very own post. I am very astute at understanding one, two and even some three syllable words. Getting hung up on simple little words like "is" isn't usually a problem for me so that said I don't believe its my spin you need to worry about. Glenn wasn't influencing my thoughts by answering his own question to her for her. She said "I don't have all the answers. I've not taken a position on that" and Glenn said that that answer means yes. How nice of him to draw conclusions for the rest of us don't you think? You're not a judge by any chance are you? I'd sure hate to be found guilty for a crime based upon my pleading the fifth or not saying anything at all. Jesus Christ was condemned the same way don't you know? The innocent usually are.

LaRaza came out with support for her which says it all about her fake ‘conservative’ credentials but says a lot about her ‘libertarian’ credentials.


Where are you getting the La Raza support for Medina?

Let me ask you a few questions. Was/is the Bush, or any administration completely transparent with us in every way? To make the question simpler for you to understand. Do you think the government tells us everything? Yes or no?

Seriously, you do believe there's a possibility our own government was responsible for 9-11. You are trying to mask it with your "the government doesn't tell us everything" mantra but it's there.

Honestly, your FR posting credibility is gone.

You do understand that is a fake banner that Partriot08 has made indicating support from La Raza. Doesn’t speak well of the little poster girl but she thinks it does I guess.

She took a coprighted logo from a La Raza site and photoshopped it to what you she post on FR. Unethical but that’s what you get at times.

You are rationalizing her non answer answer.

No rational person would suggest that Bush/Cheney were involved in the 9/11 attack on America.

If you think that that tired old line about not knowing all the facts justifies her involvement in that irrational group of loons, then just say so.

"It seems you’re saying that the events of United 93 do not tell you what was happening on the other planes.

Surely .. hearing the tapes from the passengers on United 93, there is absolutely no mistake as to who was at the controls, and who stopped this aircraft from hitting either the capital building or the WH.

Then, we have the suicide tapes from the terrorists themselves.

Then, we have KSM (in GITMO) who has already confessed to being the mastermind of the attack.

These are facts you deny as being reality.

I submit that if this was a govt conspiracy (as you claim) .. KSM would have been shot the moment they found him.

This is very sad to see a person can be so deceived.
"

Wow.... Where to begin? Aaaah.... to heck with it. You're happy in your world of two dimensional thinking. I wouldn't want to give you an head-ache by asking you to actually look for answers beyond what we already know. Answers for questions like, where are the black boxes?

Go back to sleep and vote for Perry.

As for Beck "outing her." All I heard her say was she "didn't know." Sounded like a pretty honest and "truthful" answer to me.

Based on my limited knowledge of her I tend to agree as to this post (#10) on this thread.

On the other hand this is a very good informative thread about her.

Thanks to all posters. BTTT!

Only a fool believes that 9-11 was an inside job or would even entertain the notion that it was even a posibility.

Posts like yours are the ones that Bill O'R's staff seek out and air to make FR look like a lunatic site!

To even insinuate that the US govt had anything to do with 9-11 (as in bringing down the twin towers) puts you outside the realm of reasonable doubt. It puts you on the lunatic fringe. For her to even hesitate over her answer is enough to disqualify her.

Here is where the banner apparently came from. La Raza Banner



Here is the first photo shopped posting by Patriot08


As you can see she has changed it some along the way.

She is a truther and a Ron Paul groupie who is attracting some protest support from folks fed up with customary politicians. I share the disgust with customary politicians, but the problem here is that support for Medina the Truther may force Perry and Hutchison into a runoff, which can only benefit the Democratic candidate, White. Perry will win the runoff, but until then he will have to concentrate his spending on Kay Baby, rather than the socialist White. In a state with growing immigration (legal and illegal) and no serious ID checks at the polls, there is less and less room for error each year. We need to get behind Perry to make sure we don’t get White in November.

Okay but dig that much as it doesn’t matter at this stage since the election is Tuedsay and Medina is toast anyway. I’ve searched the net and can find no support for her from an official La Raza site.
