I'm also not blind to the fact that she was unfairly blindsided by Beck over a non-issue. BTW- Beck is/was a Perry supporter.

Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina imploded on the Glenn Beck radio program this morning when she said she didn't have an opinion on whether the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Medina, who has literally come out of nowhere to quickly become a legitimate candidate in the Republican primary, first laughed when Beck said he had received emails from listeners saying she was a "9/11 truther."

"That's the first time I've heard of that accusation," she said, not exactly denying the charge.

Government conspiracy?

So Beck asked her straight up: "Do you believe the government was in any way involved in the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?"

Easy answer, right? Nope.

"I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard," Medina replied. "There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that."

That answer caused a stir in the studio. Beck quickly followed up by asking her if she would disavow any of her staff if they were "9/11 truthers."

"Well, you know, that's a federal issue. We're very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government," she said. "I'm certainly not into mind control or thought policing people. "We've got a very diverse team in this state and that's because Texans are standing shoulder to shoulder to support and defend the Constitution. I frankly don't have time, you know, to go through and do psychological testing on people and know every thought or detail that they have."

Yeah, so now tell me how Perry would have answered............
The simple fact is that a lot of people, to include those on this board and Glen Beck, quashed a lot of hopes for a new governor in the state of Texas who might have brought some needed changes instead of more of the same.

IMO- Perry is Bush 2.0. All for taxation, and he (Perry) is still looking for that big Texas sized legacy, especially since his ideas for the TTC and the giardasil debacle were beaten down.
