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!
Medina is definitely what we need right now. In talking to people from all over Texas who assumed just a few weeks ago that they’d be voting for Perry or KBH I’ve met many who - once they heard about Debra Medina and looked into her - became immediate converts. Given this tea party environment we’re now living in it’s entirely feasible over the next six weeks for Debra to steal 10% more of both the current lukewarm Perry supporters and the current lukewarm KBH supporters and make it into the runoff.
And for those of you who are concerned that if you vote for Medina it will “throw” the election to the other candidate that’s silly. You vote for the most conservative candidate in the March primary... and then if she doesn’t finish in the top 2 you get your chance to vote for Perry or KBH in the runoff anyway.
In many ways Medina beating the RINOs Rick Perry and Kay Baily Hutchinson in the Texas Republican Primary would be an even more important development than was Doug Hoffman’s near victory in New York or Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts. While Brown’s victory is important for tactical reasons in the short term... what is much more important in the long run is that the Republican Party be transformed away from the big-government conservatism it has embraced since (at least) the 1950s in favor of small-government constitutionalism... so that when we (the GOP) finally do win back control of a significant majority of the statehouses and maybe even the White House and the US Congress... we actually have people in place dedicated to restoring true fidelity to the United States Constitution, re-establishing the proper balance of power between the federal government and the states as defined by Article I, Section VIII of the Constitution and the 10th Amendment, and rolling back the last century worth of socialism and progressivism that has nearly brought the United States to ruin.
