The governor’s race here in Texas is heating up like never before. Everyone expects a Republican candidate run-off and more than likely Democrats won’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning but I’m including all the current candidates that I am aware of in this poll. Please cast your vote.

Obama dropped every single “feel good” cliché he could safely get away with last night in his first and last State of the Union address. He managed to deftly avoid most of his own campaign quips while near the end pandering to minority interests and telling us that the borders would be protected. He managed to show some verve and some emotion at times. He even had much of his speech memorized. All-in-all he did a good job under the immense pressure of a failed presidency on his back, but I would expect no less from such an obvious tool of destruction, for that is what I consider Barrack Hussein Obama to be.
Yesterday early afternoon, I posted a comment in rebuttal to the following part of a longer article/op-ed that seemed to be highlighted Letters to the Editor of the Dallas Morning News. I took especial umbrage with the following observation because it was based on a direct fallacy — that Debra Medina was working with unsound math in her economic plan for Texas. My comment, of course, was not published by the moderator, most likely because I clearly pointed out proof of the fallacy. Here then is the particular letter in question, followed by my original and as yet unpublished comment (emphasis added and links intact and YouTube video embedded for easy viewing) :
Incredibly detailed article with statistics to support conclusions about our grim future at the rate we are crumbling, fromStewart Dougherty:
More bad news as interpreted for us at Sustainable Food | Change.org:
Our farming policies in this country are as dysfunctional as our health care system. Say “farm subsidies” and everyone — Democrat, Republican, independent — will shake his or her head in disgust.
Look a bit lower — at the waistline — and you’ll get the same story.
How did our policies come to be so laughably bad? It’s a complicated question, to be sure, but here’s one clear factor: Rural states are over-represented in the Senate, where Minnesota has as many votes as California. And agribusinesses give heavily to their Senators and other elected officials.
What I view is important insight from conservative Alex Wallenwein:

(This article was written last night, 01-20-10. The morning of 1-21-10 I received the email reprinted below that proved my point much faster than I expected)
If Scott Brown can do it, Debra Medina (Texas candidate for GOP nomination for governor of Texas) can do it - several times over.
Of course, it is wonderful that Scott was able to beat what’s her name, but after looking at his web site’s “Issues” statement to see what all the buzz is about, I was slightly underwhelmed.
Brown getting elected in Massachusetts is a big deal for now because it removes the break-back power from the Democrats that was theirs for too long. The Supermajority is dead. Ding-dong.
This has shown just how dangerous a Democracy is. We are a Republic, folks. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Individual rights are paramount, not the rights of a majority OR a minority. The crazies to the far side of either political spectrum would love to have you believe otherwise so they can smash through laws, referendums, amendments and bills that will destroy your freedoms.
Great news from WFAA.com , Debra Medina’s popularity and chances for greater and much needed Texas and national exposure growing too much to be denied:
DALLAS — Debra Medina — the third candidate running for the GOP nomination for governor along with Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison — is being invited to appear in the statewide televised debate sponsored by Belo TV stations in Texas and The Dallas Morning News.
The debate is set for Friday, January 29.
Until now, Medina had not met the criteria to appear in the debate. However, a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Monday shows a shift among likely Texas GOP voters in her favor. The poll of 831 likely voters found:
Your inalienable right to defend yourself under threat from the “educated class”? No, never! Couldn’t be, Mr. Obama! More change we can believe in! From Infowars.com Obama’s Favorite For Supreme Court Justice Sunstein Wants To Ban Guns, Free Speech:
Cass Sunstein, president Obama’s appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and the man who outlined a plan for the government to infiltrate “conspiracy groups” in order to undermine them, is in direct line for a promotion to Supreme Court Justice.
I will be attending this today. If you’re close enough to Austin, TX, why not come and join your fellow Texans. Believe me, you won’t be alone:

From Infowars.com - O’Reilly demands ‘deranged’ Bush heckler be arrested:
In his classic defamation segment, ‘Patriots & Pinheads’, Bill O’Reilly condemned the man who confronted former President George H.W. Bush at a Houston restaurant.
“On the pinhead front, President Bush is 85 years old. The other day he was in a Houston restaurant when a deranged person approached him.”
“The guy should have been arrested by the Secret Service,” O’Reilly stated after playing a You Tube clip of the incident. “However, we called them and they will not comment. We don’t know what happened to him. We hope the service will clarify the situation quickly. The guy may be a pinhead but he also deserves to be held accountable– can’t let that stuff go. It’s threatening.”
Just the other day I read the David Brooks op-ed piece described in the following article. It was offensive, sad and hilarious. This “educated class” idea is a banal joke. I’ve attended enough Tea Party events to know that David Brooks was talking out of his ass as he described the stereotypical Tea Party participant. David, my old man went to Yale, if you must know. I’m a Mensa member myself, daddy-o. That’s odd isn’t it: I don’t fit your stereotype of a Tea Partier at all, Mr. Brooks. In fact, I fit the profile of…wait for it…wait for it…the “educated class”! Well, damn, David. What d’ya know about that!
