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.

Post number 7 is essentially saying the same thing I did.
And yes, though Brown is a RINO his beating an established politician sent shock waves through the entire senate and congress.
You know they ALL are nervous.
Also I think he was about the best you could EVER expect from the likes of Mass.

What ..?? Where are the black boxes ..?? That’s your response to the FACTS ..?? This tells me you can’t refute the FACTS .. so you just change the subject.

With 2000 degrees of heated airline fuel .. you’re actually expecting to find a black box ..??

Since the boxes are metal, I understand that the heated airline fuel would have probably melted the boxes.

And .. if the heated fuel didn’t get the boxes, then surely the crush of tons of cement upon them would have crushed them beyond recognition.

ROTFLOL!! How ignorant can you get!

And .. even if we found the boxes .. what were you expecting to hear .. George Bush giving instructions ..??

I believe we did find the black box from United 93, and I’ve even heard the tapes from it. All we heard were the voices of foreign people yelling Allah Akkbar! Boy .. that sure was enlightening.

But .. I don’t expect you to believe me .. because common sense doesn’t seem to be your strong-suit!

"I did hear the entire interview and I've read it several times. Maybe you should practice what you preach and read it yourself. "

Whats with the hostile attitude tough guy? You said "All I heard her say was she "didn't know." Sounded like a pretty honest and "truthful" answer to me. in post 10. You accuse me of not reading it, you are wrong. Medina said allot more than that, so I provided the transcript, that obviously upset you. Perhaps you would be interested in Medina's answer of "MEDINA: I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, 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."

Its not an admission of support for the 9/11 conspiracy kooks, its not a denial, but she does say the 9/11 conspiracy kooks have a good arguments.

Her statement does not bother you, but it does me. I like allot of things about Medina, but after she said that the kooks have some good arguments, that is a serious issue to consider.

I have always like Glenn Beck but when he pulled a Katie Couric on Medina..."

No... it was an honest question. It was a relevant question. You cant blame anyone for her answer except her. I wish she didnt think the 911 truthers have good arguments, but she does. This is a valid political issue, and Beck did nothing wrong in asking.

"Maybe you should practice what you preach and read it yourself. "
Right back at ya skippy.

“Fake” or not .. she is using LaRaza to say they support her .. and if that’s what she believes, then I would never vote for her.

I’ve seen what LaRaza did to Los Angeles with help from the liberals.

I don’t live in Texas but from what I’ve heard, Texas is doing much better than the rest of the country. Why on earth would people want to dump their governer who has done such a good job?

Neither Kay Bailey nor Governor Perry has taken a stand against illegal immigration. Governor Perry wanted to RAM through the Trans Texas Tollway system for his OWN selfish ambitions. And Kay Bailey is a pinky-fingered GOP sell-out who lies with gentle-womanly grace and her southern charm without batting an eyelash.

Her star is falling, thanks primarily to her attempt to waffle on the question about the U.S. government’s possible involvement in the 9/11 attacks. There are White supporters who say they will vote for Medina in the Republican Primary as a way to hurt Perry (I hear it in the faculty offices at a local commumity college), so polls may not show just how far her star has fallen.

Sorry - you are on your own with this one. I do not engage in debates with people who can’t grasp the facts involving foreign terrorists who planned and carried out the highjacking of domestic airliners, or the structural collapse of the buildings that they were plunged into.

It is because of people just like you that have caused Medina’s poll numbers to plunge to where they belong.

Which one is she? Is she the Troofer or the pro-Aztlan racist?

(Sorry... I keep getting the two of them confused.)

On this thread is a sign purporting to say that LaRaza supports her.

I’m sure you can find it yourself.

From what I’ve read about Debra Medina, she is not really conservative. She’s hopey and changey.

From what I have read she is dopey and crazy.

I should have added...I think people have come to the conclusion that they'd rather vote for somebody they know...warts and all...than somebody who doesn't have a track record...BO comes to mind.

I think Medina had a chance to be an embarrassment to the GOP if elected. That wouldn't bother Libertarians but it would really bother Repubs who consider her a RINO.

She could have been as "successful" a govenor as Jesse Ventura...and we know how that turned out.
