I watched one of the Texas debates of the three Republican candidates for Texas governor after hearing small business owner Debra Medina handily won in both. The other two contenders were big government Republicans- Rick Perry, who has been Texas governor for a record 9 years, since George W. Bush left for the White House; and Kay Bailey Hutchison, who has served as a Senator from Texas since 1993. She supported the bailouts under Bush.

Medina is the only candidate of the three that will bring more than small-government rhetoric. She wants to eliminate property taxes, protect gun ownership, secure their border, restore Taxes sovereignty- which means some nullification may be in the news someday if she wins. Tom Woods’ well worded endorsement is below:

“What an insufferable bore the Texas gubernatorial race would be without Debra Medina. She is giving her fellow Texans a rare choice. They can pick a business-as-usual drone and make the New York Times happy. Or, by choosing a real human being who speaks her mind and tells the truth, they can teach America that there is nothing inevitable about being governed by cliche-spouting robots. Debra’s knowledge of history, economics, and much else, and her contempt for the phony conservatives who have sold Texans out time and again, make her the obvious choice for a thinking person — and for anyone who’d like to kick sand in the face of the political establishment. Vote for anyone else and absolutely nothing changes, as usual. Vote for Debra Medina and the bad guys tremble. You can’t put a price tag on that. Don’t let us down, Texas — the whole country is watching.”
