Blog: Medina upcoming polls (was 'fading')

[Texan4Life]

I'm sorry but a couple of weeks ago we were praising PPP's accuracy and cheering for the 24% now we are making excuses.

so true

 

[JohnG]

That's one thing I have noticed with this movement that irritates me - you're always making excuses when things aren't going your way, and you refuse to be consistent.

Here's the facts: The majority of the americans don't agree with you completely. You want to start a fight with them and call them all sorts of names, go ahead, but then "President Paul" will remain a dream forever and ever.

Look over at the Rand forum, and you'll see everyone mocking Johnson for poor showing. Johnson is EXACTLY where Medina was just two months ago. Do you want to bring a new climate to politics? Or do you want to be like that pig in "Animal farm", who started a revolution but then became an oppressor himself?

Think about it.

if this Beck-Medina interview is going to derail her campaign we should make Glenn feel the heat for kicking the revolution in the groin... for the second time...

I understand Beck's ratings DID already take a hit, going down 16% last week as a result of his hatchet job on Medina. What the PPP poll may be hinting is there's been a break in the vote from Hutchison to Perry, putting him in a position to win without a runoff, whether Medina edges out Hutch or not. Perhaps it is HUTCH who is fading, not Debra.

Hutchinson's strength as a candidate is what has made this competitive to this point---as above stated, Medina did not have the money or base to be any higher than 10% in a traditional race. Maybe we should count the outing of the traitor/Judas Goat Beck (now plain for all to see) as the victory in this episode, and local supporters should analyze the primary results to note which GOP leaning districts she does best in. Find an open Republican seat situation in one of those areas, and after she moves there run her for that office.

Medina has made a name for herself, no matter what happens. She could be in congress in two years. Just think, she'd be better than anyone there outside Ron Paul (or Rand Paul).

This is all the more reason to push for Medina now. The NWO wants you to believe that the world ends the day of the election. It doesn't. Medina getting 25% make her a cinch to get into congress later. If she gets 15%, maybe not so easy.

Thanks for the article. I think one thing folks are not taking into consideration is that Democrats and Independants will have a say in the primary. This may be wishful thinking but I have a gut feeling Medina is going to blow this race out of the water on March 2nd and win it outright.

 

[devil21]

You guys really listen to the media still?

If anything, they want you to think Medina is fading just so you'll stop spreading her message and maybe not vote if you live in Texas. Ignore that stuff and do what you've been doing. They are not to be trusted!

 

[JohnG]

It's not the media, it's the PPP. They're reliable. Though they cannot predict the future; Medina clearly has "faded" over the last 10 days. But that doesn't mean she can't stage a comeback.

Sorry but pollsters are part of the media, reliable or not.

My point was that listening to any of these outlets proclaiming anything one way or the other is misguided since we know VERY well how low the experts will stoop in their attempts to keep Medina down. No one should be paying any attention to this stuff, just keep doing what has worked all along.

Are they polling Democrats and Independents because they are voting for Debra too.

Talking to poll workers Tuesday, when I voted, more Democrats are
asking for Republican ballots, as you can vote as either here in Texas
primaries. I'd also heard the same from others around the state, too.

What's going on here is Democrats know their likely Demo candidate
is gonna lose to whoever the Republicans put up and they really hate
Gov Perry. Anybody is better than 4 more years of www.slickrickperry.com.

Most of those democrats, IMO, will thus vote for Medina over KBH,
as KBH is vocally supported by the Bush's down here and Medina has
been rising in polls while KBH has been dropping, too. Bottom Line;
Either Perry or KBH mean more of the same entrenched establishment
Republican rule in Texas, and they will eagerly vote against that and
especially to tweak them with supporting a non-establishment outsider.

Some Demos will also dream that a Medina running against the Demo
candidate might somehow give them some little better hope of a win.

That Beck slammed Medina, and they really hate Beck a lot, too, also
encourages them to get behind and support Medina, too. Also, Beck is
still ranting on about Medina daily, looking more un-fair all the time.

We all may need to thank Beck for getting the Demo's behind her to
put her over the top in the Republican primary!! That'd be a hoot!!

I want to be optimistic. I really think that Beck's interview took away most of Medina's momentum, but it is not too late to pick it up again. Her website says she has raised 750k. I don't know how much of that she has left, but if she has enough to do a statewide ad buy either on the radio or tv, she could regain some of her lost votes and more. For the out of state people, we can flood the internet and youtube videos as well as talk to friends and family in Texas. Instaters can do the same and go door to door or whatever the campaign needs. Medina can push for that run off! I really think that is a possibility.

Here's the facts: The majority of the americans don't agree with you completely. You want to start a fight with them and call them all sorts of names, go ahead, but then "President Paul" will remain a dream forever and ever.

Look over at the Rand forum, and you'll see everyone mocking Johnson for poor showing. Johnson is EXACTLY where Medina was just two months ago. Do you want to bring a new climate to politics? Or do you want to be like that pig in "Animal farm", who started a revolution but then became an oppressor himself?

Think about it.

/John

I'm trying to keep people honest and call them out on their BS. Glenn Beck has punched us below the belt twice now, both times just before the crucial primaries when we are gaining momentum.

You're never gonna get anywhere if you try to place nice with people that are trying to kneecap you...

I don't visit the Rand forum much... but that IS disappointing... :o

People can't say anything negative about a neocon bomb-thrower who spends all his time attacking Rand Paul and completely ignoring Grayson? It's funny that the guy is blowing through his life savings and polling 2% in every independent poll.

Why is it that 2% Johnson can be in the debates but Gurley Martin and John Stephenson cannot?

Anyway: get off your damn high-horse.

 

[itshappening]

Johnson has raised like 20k, Medina is a different story. she has raised money and has visible support

 

[Nathan Hale]

Yeah it's also very disheartening to hear on the Rand forums how they want to prevent Bill Johnson from participating in the debates, you don't have to agree with the guy but I'm sure we all can see that the more candidates the better... for Freedom.

The best thing for freedom is to elect Rand Paul in that race. Yeah, I'd like to see bigger fields in these debates, but the benefit of getting Johnson booted from the debates outweighs the moral hazard, especially since it's likely that Johnson is still polling in the very low single digits.

That's what Fox said about Ron Paul..... Are we really becoming Fox?

 

[TheTyke]

Johnson is there to split the anti-establishment vote... they are working carefully to do this, by pushing him at tea parties and state sovereignty rallies (even though he doesn't really believe in state's rights - but they don't say that there) Although there are several other candidates with similar low poll numbers to him, they are excluded from the debates. It should be all of them if you're gonna include the ones with polling almost nothing.

 

[dannno]

Well Bohnson is a psy-op and the only reason he is running is to aid in Trayson's negative campaign against Paul. The only thing he is doing is taking away valuable talking time so that Rand can clarify his positions better against their constant attacks.

EDIT: Why are we talking about Rand and Bohson in this thread

Personally I'd like the thread to disappear *poof*

This. I'm not for "booting" Johson. I'm for adding Gurley Martin. You've got to love a guy with a funny name who won't accept donations over $50.00 and has his birth certificate posted on his campaign website. His intent to file is a hoot!
