Beck Has A Revealing Interview With TX Tea Party Candidate

Glenn Beck has a policy of not endorsing candidates – sort of.  While he is faithful about his disclaimers on air, he finds it hard (as most of us would) to not like one or the other contestant in a race.  His trusty assistants Stu and Pat don’t make it any easier with their on-air needling of him about the statements made by candidates while they are being interviewed.

Generally the callers acquit themselves well, and some really shine such as when Marco Rubio calls in or Chuck DeVore.  This time, however, things really went the wrong way with Glenn had on Debra Medina of Texas.  I think it’s safe to say that the radio audience was probably as shocked as the guys in the studio as the questioning of her positions unfolded.

Read the transcript here.  Definitely worth the read.

    Beck’s not my favorite, but this babe simply couldn’t answer a MAJOR simple yes or no question. I wouldn’t vote for her.

    But hell, its Texas!

    It seems to me Medina is the darling of the “throw all the bums out” wing of the Tea Partiers. Caught her at a Ft Worth event where she did ok but, she is not ready for Austin.

    Her Highness, Kaye Bailey, needs to keep her pledge to resign from the Senate.

    Under Perry, Texas has over 8 billion in the rainy fund. But, hey, its Texas! :-)

    This may help Slick Rick avoid a runoff.

    If Republican conservatives can’t ride with someone like Perry, I don’t know where that leaves us.

    Rick Perry is the only Real Choice for Texans. Perry is a real conservative that must beat Bill White. Texas is the most important Governorship for the Texas. If White wins he’ll make Texas a haven for illegal aliens and extreme liberalism. Bill White is a con-man trying to pass himself of as a moderate. White is a friend to ACORN and was is trying to build a powerbase by importing blacks from New Orleans to Houston after Katrina. Bill White did this in preparation for a statewide run and we can’t let him succeed. Voting for Debra Medina would guarantee Bill White a solid chance at the Governor’s Mansion.
