Glenn Beck exposes himself as a plant for the GOP in interview with Debra Medina

This morning I awoke to a rushed day of early meetings in the morning and a host of other appointments throughout the day. But my hurried scheduled did not diminish the excitement and anticipating of listening to the Glenn Beck show. Glenn had finally agreed to have one of the candidates who is running for Governor of Texas on his radio show.Debra Medina the grassroots conservative candidate in Texas would finally get her opportunity to tell the people of America her vision for the state of Texas. I was surprised that Glenn Beck had all of a sudden changed his mind about interviewing her, but "oh well", it was an opportunity for Debra. I was to be on the road traveling to a meeting at the time the radio interview was supposed to be aired, so the first thing I did as I started my van, was to turn my radio on. The show was in the middle of a commerical so I waited with excitement as we were nearing the top of the hour, when Debra would be on. It was a very wet day here in Houston, and so I was both distracted by the weather, the drivers in the weather, and the soon appearance of Debra Medina on the Glenn Beck Show.

Well after a brief news update, the time had come and sure enough, Glenn Beck starts the segment by talking up candidates who had come from no where. My excitement turned to smiling as I heard Mr. Beck slowly ease into the Texas Governors race what I heard actually surprised me as he was totally denouncing Rick Perry the current Governor of Texas. The stage had been perfectly set for the introduction of Debra Medina the come from behind candidate in our Governors race.

So Mr. Beck introduces Debra and then starts with his first interview question which was "Who is Debra Medina?". I could sense tension in his voice as if he was annoyed or irritated, but I awaited Debra's answer and out came her firm strong response. "Good job", I thought. "You tell him", Debra, was more like it. The next question was the property tax question, and again she sailed through that answer as well. Then all of a sudden came the 9/11 truther question. And I thought, "what's that about?" I really did not know what a "truthers" was but after hearing Glenn Beck explain I was not phased by it or Debra's answer. However, what happened next was totally unexpected.

My very first thought after he rushed her off the phone, and then began ridiculing her was that this was a classic setup. He totally staged everything perfectly and then attempted to destroy her bid for Governor, just by labeling her a truther. I actually laughed at the obvious ploy of this so-called interview and though nothing of it. After hanging up with Debra he and Pat Gray his co-host laughed about how he wanted to french kiss Rick Perry, I was totally surprised by his jollying with this being that he confesses to be a Christian. Insinuating homosexual pleasures is not something I would think that a Christian man would take so haphazardly. But it seemed like child's play for Glenn Beck. When I arrived at my meeting the look on my friends face was like total horror. My first thought was, "what happened? what's wrong?", then they relayed to me the dimise Debra faced with her inteview with Glenn Beck.

Just last night as my family and I were out grocery shopping I saw Rick Perry on the cover of a Texas magazine, showcasing his bid for the 2012 Presidential election. Of course this would be news here but maybe not in New York, or California or in another state where this would not have any relevance. So then I remembered the article, I remembered Sarah Palin's endorsement of Rick Perry, I remembered Glenn Becks sudden disdain for Rick Perry and then his all of sudden admiration for him again. There it was. I knew right then what this was all about and it became as laughable as watching an episode of "Word Girl" with my daughter. Does Glenn Beck think that the people of Texas is that naive and gullible that we would not see through his little ploy today?

After appearing on the Glenn Beck show and deciding not to play by his rules, I too discovered a different side of Mr. Beck. One of the things that came to my mind is the fact that Glenn Beck ridicules Debra Medina, while he holds to beliefs that many of us may deem unusual as well. As a Mormon, there are many doctrines and teachings that those in the Christian faith would deem just as unusual as Glenn Beck finds as to the beliefs of "truthers". First of all Debra Medina is not a truther, yet, he displays that she is a truther on his website at www.glennbeck.com. This is dishonest at best and I am sure Mr. Beck would not appreciate anyone making a claim that he believes something that he does not. However, Glenn Beck showed up today as a plant for the GOP, one who has disdain for those who "question their government with boldness", as he once called the American people to do, and not the so called independent thinker he positions himself to be when he wants to stir up the American people.

Americans should have no more patience for dirty politics and the antics of the party machine that only wishes to use the American voter as pawns for their future careers. I use to think that Glenn Beck was a person for the people. But now when he desires to push on the people of Texas a career politicians who has his eyes not on governing Texas but running for President, I see him as just another plant for the party establishment.

What Sarah Palin won't tell you about her friend Rick Perry, We Texans will.

I once thought that people on the left were the koolaide drinkers who were in a trance and suffering from the Obama leg tingle syndrome. However I have found that there are those on the right whose legs tingle just like those on the left. The blogosphere has been buzzing all week with the shock of Governor Palins announcement to endorse Rick Perry and John McCain. In Romans 12:3, Paul gives us this warning:

"For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."

What is Sarah Palin really saying by coming out for Rick Perry, and of course John McCain, which is the biggest surprise of all? Could she be saying, "Hey don't worry about it fella's, I got the American people tightly wrapped around my little pinky and when I show up on the stomp for you it's all over." Sike! I look at my city and my state and I see the real issues and I realistically look at the people who are in charge and draw my own conclusions about the effectiveness of their leadership. I have two links for those who are reading this to view. The first one is the first Texas Governors Debate.

After looking at this video please tell me your honest views about this debate as far as leadership is concerned: See how our current governor tries to present facts that are totally false at the core. The citizens of Texas just like our fellow citizens throughout the United States are tired of big government spending, cronism, and the elitist attitude that says, "we are too stupid to really see through these politicans". Judge for yourselves if what you hear from this debate shows that Gov. Perry has been true to his supposed conservative values.

http://www.texasdebates.org

Second I am enclosing links from various sources about what Governor Perry has really done for Texas. I live in Houston, and the roads are terrible, they are unbelievable, yet Perry claims that the state had surplus according to the Dallas Morning News. The roads of Texas could really use some of that surplus. http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/12/on-rick-perry-a.html.

As a Christian Conservative I do not want the government mandating what I must do. And I definitely take issue when these mandates are politically motivated to pad the pockets of lobbyist friends. Remember how Republicans critized Obama. Well here is a link that explains the exact type of "pad my pocket" political posturing. http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/5546651.html

Let us not forget a problem that is not only one that plagues Texas but the United States as a whole - Texas border security. Like most politicans who now pander for votes, when Gov. Perry ran for re-election four years ago, he promised Texans the sky in securing the Texas border. However, after he was re-elected he quickly reversed his views on Border Security calling the idea of a border fence "preposterous". Well it was not so preposterous when he was begging voters to re-elect him. But in the usual, "suckers", attitude most career politicans have when baiting voters, Rick Perry soon reversed himself. The links that I am posting tonight does not come from Gov. Perry's opponents. They come from people outside of the political circle who give their opinions through the eyes of average Americans. Finally hear are two more links for you to read up on our supposedly true-blue conservative candidate.

Finally what were all the marches around the country for today? Wasn't it to protest the mass murders of millions of United States Citizens. Well in Houston, Texas, we have the second largest abortion clinic in the world. Governor Perry touts his supposedly pro-life guardian. The link below will show you how those who are in bed with politicians deceive their viewing audience. "The title reads "Perry Signs Abortion Marriage bill. http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2.4489/perry-signs-abortion-marriage-bills-1.978675. However, Governor Perry only signed a parental consent bill. During his speech however, he pushed his commitment to pro-life legislation. In Texas we are led to believe that partial birth abortions are banned under the leadership of Governor Perry, however they are not. This link provides more information on the issue. http://www.elliscountyobserver.com/?p=11585. Hence this is how the monstrosity in Houston is able to take the life of babies through Partial Birth abortions. Now remember, Congress gave the right to the state to regulate the strictness of partial birth abortion. A true conservative would have totally banned the practice. Sarah Palin did not share that bit of information as well.

After viewing the various links you would see why Perry must hide behind Sarah Palin, Perry is not concerned about the future of Texans or the state of Texas, he is afraid that his bid for Governor has suddenly been tarnished and desires to have the negative things he has done suddenly wiped away by the magic wink of Gov. Palin. This I see only as political expediency and political posturing. After witnessing the deception imposed on the people of America by those on the left, I would think that most tried and true conservatives would regurgitate such behavior. But I guess the pot does fall far from the kettle.

Don't Mess with Texas

This morning I find myself a little perturbed by the recent news of Sarah Palin choice to campaign for Rick Perry for Governor of Texas. At first I thought, “What?” But quickly I understood how someone who presented themselves as Sarah did can become an endorser of someone like Rick Perry. Now I live in Houston, Texas the largest city in Texas and I know what living in Texas is like. In Houston we have as the monument of Texas the “worlds” second largest abortion super clinic. When I discovered this atrocity was being constructed here, I was at a lost for words. Many see Texas as the stronghold for fundamentalist Baptist teaching and the center of the Bible belt and we have the world’s second largest abortion center? This is the second largest in the entire world. Think about that for a minute.

My question is this. Who are the gatekeepers of Texas? This is not a Houston thing, this is a Texas thing and for our government’s administration and our Senators to allow such funding to enter Texas, someone has not been doing their jobs. The lives of future little Texans hangs in the balance and we must have leaders who truly uphold life and not just do lip service. As a Christian Conservative I believe in upholding Godly principles. And life is a principle that God holds dear. As a voter I choose those who I will support and endorse by the content of a candidates character, not by whether they can bring tears to my eyes in a speech. Our current sitting Governor is a run of the mill GOP good ole boy, the kind Sarah Palin use to work against. Now I know that I am going to make a lot of people mad, but because I am a person of deep conviction and principle, in a nation that is grossly lacking in this type of character, it is expected. From the election of President Obama, I thought that maybe Americans would run from their embracing of “cult politics”, supporting people because of who they are and what they can do to stroke one’s emotions. I was afforded the opportunity to attend the KERA debates in Denton, Texas where Debra Medina, current Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson attended. It was embarrassing to see this man get on national TV and act like a kindergartener, then think that anyone would actually vote for him to be re-elected. And Kay showed the classic case of jumping around the issues.

The Tea Party movement also heavily embraces Rick Perry. The Tea Party groups once identified themselves as the engine behind promoting grassroots candidates who were God-fearing and principled. At the debate Rick Perry would not own up to the fact that Texas has lost over 300,000 jobs. He boasted of creating 150,000 jobs, of which all came from the government sector. The property taxes in Texas have risen by 49% and the border problems here are still a joke. These are real issues that Texans must face and find effective solutions to. The only thing Perry did in the debate is showed that he like other career politicians don’t believe that American’s are paying any attention and could care less about the future of their states or nation.

There was at one point in this debate where a student asked a question about an “in of life” law that was imposed in healthcare practices. Neither Rick Perry nor Kay Bailey Hutchinson knew that this law existed. The only person who had a clue was Debra Medina. When I first met Debra I liked her because she has a genuine personality. I first discovered her through a Tea Party meeting that I attended, I immediately requested that she complete our “Mommy Approved Candidates Survey” and she did. I know Debra personally and thought that she would be the kind of candidate Sarah Palin would stand behind and support. I am deeply disappointed in Sarah Palins decision to endorse Rick Perry, however it is her decision to make. I hold dear our freedom to be able to make whatever choices we desire as Americans and I respect that in Sarah Palin’s case as well. I would hope that Texans reject Rick Perry regardless of what big ticket name puts their support behind him. We Texans and we American’s need to return to the God-inspired principles of our founding fathers, a subject Rick Perry or Kay Bailey Hutchinson appear to know little of. Debra Medina is a student of the constitution and understands the working of the Republic that God inspired to be created through our founding fathers.

Conservative Moms for America endorses Debra Medina as Governor of the State of Texas. Being a mom, I desire someone who understands and embraces the concerns I have. Debra is a registered nurse who understands the problems that exist in our current healthcare system and will allow Texas to become a leader in quality healthcare. She home schooled both her children and for me that speaks volumes. She understands “mom politics” and will be a leader in issues that are of concern to moms and the future of our children in issues pertaining to life, education, healthcare and economics. We can not allow Texas to go down the road of electing status quo politicians. Texans deserve better, and so does America. It will be up to the voters of Texas to follow the examples of the voters of Massachusetts, and reject the status quo and elect a candidate that will bring the leadership and quality representation and send a message that our states will be a government established by “we the people” and the confines of our US Constitution and the Declaration of Independents. It bothers me when any outsider try to ram the status quo down the throats of Texans. Don’t tread on us and please “don’t mess with Texas.
