You are only seeing the surface of Ms. Medina who is so unqualified; it’s unbelievable. If you vote for her; you will maybe an Obama or at the very least Arnold.
Humblegunner ROCKS.....
This is such crap. Please point out the policy similarities between Mrs. Medina and those two.
It's obvious that your definition of 'qualified' is based on several propositions:
-You must be a lawyer
-You must be a career politician
-You must have spent many years in Washington
-You must have the backing of the political machine
-Your crowning achievement needs to be "doing slightly more good than harm in a Constitutionally weak governorship".
Why don't you go back to the blanket insults like "She's just a nurse"? That's much less brain-dead than the whole "unqualified" racket.
Any citizen active in their political community who makes an honest living outside of politics and has the right ideology and policies is imminently more qualified than someone who's spent most of their life playing the game of politics.
The founding documents and principles of Texas and the nation are not written for lawyers or the elite. The role of government executive and legislator is understandable to the common man and woman. Always was.
Go ahead and buy into the idea of a ruling elite, who have a secret rulebook unavailable to the rest of us. I'll stick to the principle that politicians should be citizen statesmen and women, who go into public life for a short period and then return to their trade. You can have your groomed elites.
I agree. H-gunner provides laughs AND great points (a little 'best of' the 'gunner):
