More of an echo here, but I see 17% the first time out as very substantial and quite telling.

A tree starts as a seed. It is planted, watered, nurtured, and protected against diseases and parasites. This process will take time and will not be without much effort.

Debra was an awesome candidate. I stood in line for an hour so I could cast my vote for her but alas, turns out only about 17% of us are not a part of the idiocracy. 90% of anyone you ask here in Texas will tell you they hate Rick Perry but they keep voting him back in every time. Watching these elections is becoming more and more like watching pro wrestling, it may be an interesting show but in the end, the outcome has been predetermined. Dan [Good for you.]

Forgive me, but I do not see Ms. Medina’s answer as controversial. The fact that a portion of the population does not believe the Federal Narrative word for word has not caused me to lose any sleep. I also have a very difficult time equating even minor deviations in belief in the narrative with outright conspiracy theorism the way our talking heads do. Further, if this is just a small band of extremist nuts we are talking about, why does the state feel the need to go after them so much.

I sure hope you are right about Hayworth taking out McCain, Ilana. Lord knows I will do all I can to make that happen. McCain is spending big bucks plastering the entire radio dial with attack ads, and has been doing that since before Hayworth even declared. As usual, McCain never has trouble taking out opponents, so long as they are to his right.

Sadly, but not unexpectedly, she lost. I would not blame Glenn Beck – (a) it was always an uphill battle against the establishment, (b) he gave her a forum, (c) the lesson is to be careful to not fall into “traps” like being identified with so-called “conspiracy theorists”.

Mohammed slaughtered the Jews of MEDINA [this “medina” is a much later usage than the biblical, the subject of my linguistic sidebar]:

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

… men beheaded, women/children enslaved, property confiscated – the usual “religion of peace” treatment.

Debra looks like a good candidate. That, however, does not mean that she will win – the “extremist” ideas of limited government will take a long time to gain widespread acceptance. One should keep in mind that the Socialists went generations until they slowly got Social Security, Medicare, and other insidious nonsense adopted.

However, opportunities can arise. FDR’s New Deal would never have been swallowed by the booboisie in 1924 but it was an easy sell after the Depression. It may be possible that with an implosion of the welfare-warfare state, that libertarianism/constitutionalism may show up as a viable alternative to the other statist philosophies.

The lesson of Ron Paul is that the Republican party may be the temporary vehicle in which to operate until such time as there is sufficient credible political mass to become a viable party of freedom. Good luck to Debra.

It is really interesting that the Freedom-Liberty-Tea Party-9-12 types had some one who was singing the tune of the Constitution-Limited Govt. that was catching fire in Texas

Then throw it all away following the Neo-Con Libtard line of Value added Tax Glenn Beck

Is it a coincidence that Barry’s new VAT Commission likes the value added tax just like Beckie Boy

Glenn Beck = No Thanks to your half baked agenda of increased Govt. control

She is the only reason I have to regret not living in Texas.
Glenn Beck likes to compare himself to John Stossel, and use the word ‘libertarian’ but he’s not about to lose his Republican fan club. I’m not a ‘Truther’ either, but if someone asked me if I thought there was any truth to the conspiracy theory, I’d answer the same as she did. The same government that states that we have to invade Iraq because of WMD, Global Warming, Waco, Increasing debt and stimulus plans to improve the economy is being totally honest about 9/11 and I should have blind faith. No thanks, I’d step around the question too.
