(Spread the word, the local papers are pushing lies this is the real deal) More Austin Business Journal readers said they would vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina than incumbent Gov. Rick Perry last week The most recent BusinessPulse Survey asked readers if the primary election were today, who would win their vote. Out of the 1,582 that answered, 31 percent picked Tea Party favorite Medina compared with 26 percent choosing Perry. About 20 percent backed Houston Democratic mayor Bill White and 14 percent chose Republican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Just 4 percent picked Democratic primary challenger and Houston businessman Farouk Shami, the same number that answered no one. The poll counters a recent newspapers-commissioned phone survey that shows 45 percent of likely Republican primary voters will choose Perry, 29 percent would vote for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and 17 percent back Medina. About 8 percent polled between Feb. 2-10 answered undecided. That poll included 1,508 registered voters and 464 likely GOP primary voters

Looks like things aren't going the way the Fixed News/Glenn Speck neocon express want things to go. This is heartening.
Yes, my organic apple cider and New Amsterdam gin mix is smoothing the rough spots this evening. Cheers. (A healthful beverage that I can recommend to one and all.)
wow!!!! :D
Groovin', now all we gotta do is get every registered voter to read Austin Business Journal.
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report. Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject. the RNCFR will have to pull out all the stops with diebold to get one of their republicommies on the ballot and down right open fraud to stop the Debra Medina write in votes.
that's quite a feat ;)
I'm too tired to go hold up signs in front of the mall right now, how much would it cost to sponsor some free subscriptions? Can we talk them into putting up a cash prize?

I already know all I need to know about Perry and Hutchinson.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Not to piss on anybody's corn flakes, but you left this out: "The BusinessPulse Survey is a non-scientific poll of ABJ readers."
Help, if you can. Anything will help - thanks much!
LOL, I'm gonna borrow that. The article goes on to confirm my years long observation of American politics: Those figures seem a lot more realistic. Depressing as hell, granted, but more realistic regardless of what we'd like to see happen.

Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject. Indeed by unscientific that means they did not survey known Perry stongholds. It was just an unbiased internet poll on an Austin Website. If YOU want to go by polls ran by papers owned by campaign contributors of the Perry and Hutchinson camps you be my guest. I am gonna put my faith in Medina for the win!
www.wfaa.com/news/politic...dina-voters-84413882.html Perry, Hutchison pursue Medina voters by BRAD WATSON / WFAA-TV Posted on February 15, 2010 at 6:53 PM Updated today at 6:56 PM Early voting starts Tuesday for the March 2 Texas primaries. On Monday, Gov. Rick Perry sharpened his attacks on rival Debra Medina over her refusal to acknowledge that the U.S. government had nothing to with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Both Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison are working to capitalize on Medina's controversial comments. Sensing a chance to pick up support from undecided voters or those leaning toward Medina, Perry told News 8 just before he spoke to the Texas Conservative Coalition in Plano that Medina should apologize for her 9/11 remarks. “I think I'm like the vast majority of the people of the State of Texas — offended,” Perry said. Medina has backed away from her comment that "good questions" had been raised about a government conspiracy in the 9/11 attacks and she had no position. In response to Perry's demand that she apologize, Medina campaign spokeswoman Nelda Skevington said, "We Texans at the Medina campaign think that Rick Perry should apologize for the record unemployment numbers in Texas." But Perry isn't the one looking to attract some of the roughly 20 percent of likely Republican primary voters polls say back Medina, but who may be put off by her response to the 9/11 question. The Hutchison campaign says voters rethinking their choice and looking for change should support the senator. Speaking in Houston, Hutchison tailored her comments, mindful of the Medina factor. “We love our private rights," Hutchison said. "We love our private property rights.” Perry perhaps has the most to gain from a Medina slip-up. If he can pick up five to six points in the polls from disaffected Medina voters, he could win the primary outright. Perry has sharpened his pitch for the next two weeks. “Well, certainly we want people to look at the economy, because that's what drives the voter,” he said. Perry and Hutchison mostly ignored Medina until her comments and her rise in the polls. Medina now calls the attacks "diversions" from the issues. E-mail bwatson@wfaa.com

Property Rights??? Try again. YOU HAVE NONE. If you are paying taxes on property you own outright, and have a deed to, you do not own it. You're a tenant on the STATE'S LAND. This notion of property rights, is laughable, because we don't own a fucking thing in this country. The State owns it all. If you buy a house, pay for it, and do not pay taxes, what happens? It's stolen from you. You are forced out of your "property" until you pay it, or die. We own nothing in this country. NOT ONE DAMNED THING. If we did, we wouldn't be paying taxes on things we already supposedly own.

WHat you have to say is dead on. Which is why many of us are supporting Medina who wants to put an end to our property tax.
You are correct. We are a tenant on the STATE'S LAND.
I support her for that reason also, but IMO, she would be better positioned in the Lege if she wants to push that agenda.
Just mix organic apple cider with New Amsterdam gin (I use it over ice) in whatever proportion seems appropriate to your taste buds. Cheers.
