We need more Republicans who have a Libertarian perspective and Deboarh Medina fills that bill. If I lived in Texas, I’d vote for her. The other two choices are a RINO Senator and a Big Government Conservative Governor.
If Medina were to win this, it could be the beginning of a rise of Constitutionalists in friendly territory.
Freepmail me or ping me from the original thread to get on/off the 2010 Texas Governor's Race ping list.
This guy makes a lot of sense and bears repeating at the end:
“The benefits of a Medina victory would go beyond those issues I’ve mentioned.The psychological benefits of encouraging frustrated small government conservatives would have a ripple effect across the country.
This is why I advocate the nationalization of Debra Medina’s candidacy. Scott Brown received massive amounts of money from out of state. The two establishment candidates in Texas have a combined total of about 24 million dollars in their war chest. Medina depends on small contributions from grassroots support and can’t compete with big corporate donors. She can if grassroots efforts are expanded nationally.
Debra Medina has made amazing gains with limited funding and no statewide recognition prior to the first debate. The second debate Jan 29th will very likely give her another big bump in the polls and put her in a legitimate three way race. She is no longer an impossible long shot.
Most of the press around Texas has praised her debate performance and acknowledged her elevated status. This is a window of opportunity that rarely presents itself and we as patriots must spread the word.”
No worries, we will be there in force when the RNC votes on a new Chairman, and they will look at us with the same disdain the Democrats had for the people who showed up for the Town Halls.
Tough tookies
The position of RNC is too important to be left to country clubbers to fill.
Medina is interviewing for a job as a very high level executive.
Please list her credentials. Does she have an MBA? What previous experience does she have as a CEO? In what condition were the companies she has headed when she started and when she left? Has she ever had to forgo her own salary to make payroll at her own business?
Also keep in mind she is applying to replace an existing executive that has a track record so we really need to hear about her and not badmouthing of anyone else.
Finally all Medina supporters are “references” on her resume so it would do them well not to piss off the interviewers as many on FR have already done so far. One has been banned for telling FReepers that they were too stupid to understand Ron Paul. Good job there!
The reason for the push on medina is to split the conservative vote and get the Rino KBH through the primary.
Wont work.
The GOP will pull stupid games to get the Rino installed. Perry has talked to much about going against the fedgov and the big government rino’s wont let that go unchallenged...
We need to start attacking KBH and not let up until its over. Everything is fair game, personal and professional.
Bullshit, fight your own battles with your own money.
Texas is no more important than any other state!
What choice do we have?
Medina ad:
Who is going to think more about Latino families? Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison or me, who has a Latino family? (Medinas cultural heritage is German and Bohemian.)
She told a colleague last month in an e-mail. Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture. But before she explained that, she told my colleage, who had asked her whether she considers herself Latina: Id not consider myself anything other than a wife and mother, a nurse and a patriot. I believe we too often get into race when its immaterial.
No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.
She is also running Spanish ads. Hello Mrs.Medina! If they cannot speak English then they have no business voting IMO. When they learn English then let them vote. Assimilate. Learn English. Appreciate all America gives you.
So Im sure she is blowing a lot of hot air just like Obama did just to get elected. Running those ads and saying what she has, tells me the border issue is just a try to get votes for herself.
No, thanks, Ill stick with ol RINO Perry. Texas has remained in better shape than almost any if not all of the states in the union under Perry's watch. As someone said, 'he's the devil we know'.
The motly crew running for governor is laughable; a MUSLIM, a trecherous RINO woman* (Hutchison) and a woman with questionable loyalties
*Feds Have Built Only 32 Miles of 700 Mile Double-Border Fence Originally Mandated by Congress One reason DHS has been able to do this is an amendment that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R.-Texas) slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill that Congress passed on December 18, 2007. Hutchisons amendment put a loophole in the fence law that allowed the secretary of Homeland Security not to build the fence Congress had mandated the year before.
