Title: Texas Debate
Post by: Texas_Bryan on January 14, 2010, 07:28:52 PM
Any body watching right now?  Perry and Hutchison look like a couple of jackasses.  That gal Debra Medina sounds great.  Wait...gun question...good stuff...I'm a switching my vote!  Who else is with me?  She just said the people should be better armed than the military and police to prevent tyranny, people should be able to carry everywhere and without restriction.

Not to mention she's given real answers about the federal government and out Texas and national sovereignty.

And all I know is Perry and Hutchison's asses ought to be out of here!

How embarrassing, Perry didn't even know where he was tonight, and Hutchison just offered up some disgusting Washington D.C. answers.  I was all for Perry, but good God was I wrong!  I'm going to research into Debra Medina and see what I can find.

Would liked to have seen it live, I'll have to catch it on another venue, as they didn't show it here in Fl.. :-\

Sounds like Perry didn;t bring his "A" game, and Hutchinson is just another "one" of those politicians.

I'm with you Bryan but does she have enough backing to get the job?

 Medina, She is the best choice. The other two are Bilderburg operatives, we cannot trust either.
 Vote them all out!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group

Origin

The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in The Netherlands, from 29 May to 31 May 1954. It was initiated by several people, including Denis Healey and Józef Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of the United States and Western Europe.[1] Retinger approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who agreed to promote the idea, together with Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, the Dutchman Paul Rijkens. Bernhard in turn contacted Walter Bedell Smith, then head of the CIA, who asked Eisenhower adviser Charles Douglas Jackson to deal with the suggestion.[2] The guest list was to be drawn up by inviting two attendees from each nation, one of each to represent conservative and liberal points of view.[1] Fifty delegates from 11 countries in Western Europe attended the first conference along with 11 Americans.[3]

The success of the meeting led the organizers to arrange an annual conference. A permanent Steering Committee was established, with Retinger appointed as permanent secretary. As well as organizing the conference, the steering committee also maintained a register of attendee names and contact details, with the aim of creating an informal network of individuals who could call upon one another in a private capacity. Conferences were held in France, Germany, and Denmark over the following three years. In 1957, the first US conference was held in St. Simons, Georgia, with $30,000 from the Ford Foundation. The foundation supplied further funding for the 1959 and 1963 conferences.[2]

 I missed the debate last night so I will have to find it on the web. From first hand accounts I know  Kay Baily represents her non-American contributors over the voters and will make demand of law enforcement counter to US  laws. On the democratic side there is no choice, Bill White is a F___ing joke and so is the muslim hair appliance maker. Kinky is comic relief so that just leaves our governor and an unknown. Texas is in great financial shape compared to most of the country and the last thing we need is some clown to win the popularity contest and bring us more in line with the mess we see in DC.

I'm with you boys!  Medina almost didn't make it into the debate, beacause the local PBS affiliate said she wasn't a "legitimate" cadidate.

That should count as an endorsement.

That's a good enough reason to vote for her.

Amen!  Apparently one of the local Dallas AM radio stations mounted a call campaign to KERA TV to protest her not being a part of the debate.  She was on the next day.  I'm sure others around the state had taken up the same cause.  They also went through the stations own written criteria of what constitutes a "ligitimate candidate" and Medina clearly met all of the criteria.

Just another fine example of the powers at be using exclusionary tactics to deprive the people of another (better) option. >:(

I missed it too, because I've already decided who gets my vote. It's a simple choice. Medina, or SOS.

I'm with you Bry. I just hope that she is legitimate candidate that is electable. She did get a huge boost from the debate and she raised 50K in finance funds almost overnight.

Did not get to watch the debate, but understand, that her ratings have improved enough, that she is allowed to attend the next debate on channel 8. Always good to have a 3rd or 4th candidate to raise issues and answers contrary to the status quo. I am not unhappy with Perry, except for the trans texas corridor deal. But always look for the best. I have a question I would like to ask all of them, ( what would each of them done, had they been governor, when the ATF attacked the Branch Davidians ) I think Ann Richards really fell short on that one.

Good point M25, since all of the ALLEGED offenses were under the jurisdiction of the state, and found to be unwarrented.  and NONE of them were under ATF jurisdiction
