Debra Medina is a 9/11 Truther
Ok, her politician answer was that she didn’t have enough proof to take a side on whether or not the government had anything to do with causing the twin towers to fall. Really? How in the hell do you not take a side on that issue? I mean, you are running for the governor of Texas, and you still don’t know whether or not Osama Bin Laden ordered the attack on the twin towers? You don’t have all of the evidence?
Beck is not necessarily a fan of Rick Perry, but after the interview Beck changes his mind a bit:
“Rick I think you and I could french kiss right now!”
It’s only fair to post Medina’s response. I call BS:
I was asked a question on the Glenn Beck show today regarding my thoughts on the so-called 9/11 truth movement. I have never been involved with the 9/11 truth movement, and there is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11. I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way. No one can deny that the events on 9/11 were a tragedy for all Americans and especially those families who lost loved ones.
The question surprised me because it’s not relevant to this race or the issues facing Texans. This campaign has always been about private property rights and state sovereignty. It is focused on the issues facing Texans. It is not a vehicle for the 9-11 truth movement or any other group.
The real underlying question here, though, is whether or not people have the right to question our government. I think the fact that people are even asking questions on this level gets to the incredible distrust career politicians have fostered by so clearly taking their direction from special interests instead of the people, whether it’s Rick Perry and his HPV mandate or Kay Hutchison and voting for the bank bailout. It is absolutely the right and duty of a free people to question their government. Texas does not need another politician who tells you what you want to hear, then violates your liberties and steals your property anyway. I fully expect to be questioned and to be held accountable as Governor, and that’s the underlying issue here: should people be questioning their government. And the answer is yes, they should be.
Now it seems like she’s lying and trying to change the subject. I think I preferred her when she was telling the truth. Well, sort of.
Oh well, I think she’s done. There’s no coming back from a blunder like this.

Glenn spends all day showing us how the government lies to us and yet accepts the 911 commission report as the total truth? Glen this doesn't add up. There are a lot of outpoints and tons of evidence not covered in the report. No one that questions this report thinks that Bush, the cabinet and the congress all sat around and planned the attacks or had anything to do with them.
What many architects, engineers and demolition experts have said is the report doesn't add up. It does not cover lots of testimony and facts that have not been answered.
Glen Beck played his hand and proved he is an insider mouthpiece for the establishment and I have written him off as a real truth seeker.
i think you are right, she may not be able to come back. i don't think she is a truther, i don't think she thinks America did 9/11 to itself, but she may think it is even bigger than that. a conspiracy that many governments were involved in the attack, not just one terrorist group. i was pumped to have a constitutionalist, non politician in the running, now i am not so sure.
Beck in his own words! Now folks…you be the judge http://www.justin.tv/clip/77bcd7167a05665a
Now both Debra Medina and Kay Bailey Hutchison have disparaged Rick Perrys decision on HPV vaccines. As an RN who works with Adolescent students, my initial reaction was that Rick Perry was a very brave person to add HPV as a required vaccine in Texas. I was sad that he was forced to change that decision. It was BRAVE and it was RIGHT… and it would have eventually saved countless lives. I cannot see why anyone would oppose this safe vaccine. This was not, and need never be about any tacit approval of young girls becoming sexually active. No parent need present it in that light, and it was not promoted in that light by the vaccine manufacturer or the state government. This is about future health, and life and death issues. As a nurse, as a mother and as a school employee, if asked my opinion, I will always encourage this vaccine for our children. Don't use the HPV vaccine issue as a strike against Perry……it was the right thing to do…….too bad some chose to cloud this whole issue and force the state of Texas to back down on doing the RIGHT THING.
mstatedawg, could you please point me to the firefighter terminology that has the term 'pull it' in their own terms. I looked and looked and cannot find it. In fact, I found among many firefighters discussion that doesn't agree with this. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's also not in the mainstream as a term they would use which would beg the question why would the owner of the trade centers use a term no one knows to describe ceasing interior operations without explaning what that means? Just leaves more questions. Again, my field is architecture, not firefighting so my expertise would be in understanding the nature of the structure and the likelihood that a structure like that could not only collapse, but pancake! I just know it's so unlikely especially 2 large towers and one small one all in the same way, you might want to get your lottery tickets now – you are more likely to win the lottery then that happening. So, I'm just looking at it from a logical standpoint. In fact, you would expect something more like this in a collapse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwjcQOlX8Xw&NR=1
