This is actually very sad. I thought Debra Medina was a REAL candidate for Texas Governor. She seemed to be one of “us”. Certainly not the politician that Rick Perry is. And certainly not suspect in the same way as KBH is.
That was until today. Today she was interviewed by Glenn Beck on his radio show. It was going ok for a while and then Beck said he had received numerous e-mails from people suggesting she was a 9-11 truther.
Having sat in the radio interviewer chair, I can tell you that some questions are asked just to get the answers out of the way. I’m sure Beck was expecting “of course I’m not Glenn. Do you think I’m crazy?” But that’s not what he got at all. Instead she said the following:
MEDINA: I don’t, I don’t have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don’t I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I’ve not taken a position on that.
Are you frickin kidding me? Unfortunately not. Because Glenn was stunned – as well he might be. And so he then asked what she would do if she found out members of her staff were 9-11 truthers. the next answer is even worse!
MEDINA: Well, you know, that’s a federal issue. We’re very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government. 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.
She is toast. At least she should be. I want to see her numbers drop all the way back to 4% and below. Because not only did she say all of the above, but then when she realized how damaging it was, she went out and became the politician – doing damage control. Saying she didn’t believe the Government was responsible; saying she wasn’t prepared for the question. EXCUSE ME? You need to prepare for that question? How about “do you think the earth is flat?” do you need to prepare for THAT question too?
I think she’s certifiable! And worse than that, so are numerous of her supporters. I went to her facebook page to see what was going on. And I was STUNNED to find that they were all on board with the whole “we should question our Government (true) thing and therefore 9-11 was down to President Bush! I was even sent a whole bunch of e-mails ‘proving’ it wasn’t Islamic jihadists, but The Good Ole US of A!
So to my assorted Texan friends…. PLEASE do not give this woman ANY credibility by actually voting for her!
