    Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Questions U.S. Role In 9/11 Attacks

    Democrats running for governor in Texas says he also has questions about the involvement of the U.S. government in the 9/11 attacks


    AUSTIN (February 12, 2010)--

    Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Farouk Shami said Friday that like his GOP counterpart Debra Medina, who later backtracked on her comments, he also has questions about the involvement of the U.S. government in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

    In an interview with Dallas television station WFAA, Shami said Friday "I'm not saying yes or no, because I don't know the truth."

    "We still don't know who killed John F. Kennedy, who's behind it ... will we ever find the truth about 9/11?" Shami said.

    Great move for a guy named Farouk.

    Two political careers ended in two days.

    Impressive.

    Meh. It doesn't matter what Shami thinks about 9-11. White was already crushing him by a 3-1 margin last I saw.

    my first thought exactly.

    What are Texas gubernatorial candidates doing talking about the U.S. role in the 9/11 attacks?

    Are there talks of secession again?

    I wonder how severe these poll numbers will change now that there is concern of Medina being a truther. Here are parts of a poll prior to her interview:

    Perry is at 39% to 28% for Kay Bailey Hutchison and 24% for Medina. There are major splits within the race along ideological lines. Perry is at 42% with conservatives, and Medina is now outpolling Hutchison with them by a 25-23 margin. Hutchison cleans up with moderates, leading Perry 49-29, but unfortunately for her prospects they account for only 20% of GOP primary voters.

    One finding in the poll helps sum up the mood in the country right now and may give a clue as to why Hutchison is having so much trouble. Asked whether they trust Austin or Washington politicians more to solve Texas’ problems, state level politicians win out by a margin of 78-3.

    There’s no doubt Medina is riding the wave of discontent with the political establishment. She actually leads the race, 37-32 over Perry, with the third of primary voters who disapprove of Washington politicians. With those who are happy she trails well behind at 17%.
    Q7 Do you approve or disapprove of the job
    Republicans in Congress are doing? If you
    approve, press 1. If you disapprove, press 2.
    If you’re not sure, press 3.
    Approve .................................................. ........ 51%
    Disapprove........................................ .............. 33%
    Not Sure.............................................. ............ 16%

    Q8 Do you think that Congressional Republicans
    are too liberal, too conservative, or about right?
    If too liberal, press 1. If too conservative, press
    2. If about right, press 3.
    Too Liberal........................................... ........... 34%
    Too Conservative...................................... ...... 12%
    About Right .................................................. ... 54%
    Most the respondents were republicans. However, democrats heavily favor the two women. This could be a very interesting election if you guys in Texas have an open primary. The democrats only favor Perry at 16%. I will suspect the truther talk will bring down Medina's numbers, and it would be interesting if the is an uneven split to Hutchison.

    Of course Democrats favor the women folk. Real men favor each other. Of course.

    (Gonzo asks for volunteer to be hypnotized into lifting 5000 lb weight)

    Gonzo: It's just a question of mind over matter.

    Waldorf: That's right, you don't mind and we don't matter.

    Gonzo: You'll live to regret this.

    Stadler: We intend to.

    Gonzo: I don't understand you people. Immortality is up for grabs. But you don't deserve it.

    Waldorf: No, but you do.
