Perry staffers jumped to Medina's campaign?
Submitted by lupester on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 10:21
They stated on KLIF in D/FW this morning that a significant amount of paid staffers quit their job from the Perry Campaign and joined the Medina campaign because Perry wanted them to start bashing Medina on an issue he has the same stance on. Obviously Medina does not have enough cash to fight him on radio and TV. Can anyone from the campaign or anywhere verify this? This would be huge news!
Jeff from KLIF also stated this news did not come from where you think it would, Medina Campaign, but another credible source.
Why is anyone afraid to say ...
Why is anyone afraid to say "Throw the bums out ???????"
Is their something I don't see ?

Paranoia has set in
A couple of things should be acknowledged first.
1) We don't know how high up these 4 to 5 people were within the Perry Campaign.
2) None of us have a clue how much information they can bring into the Medina campaign and what the information is in regards too.
3) Sometimes things are as they seem. People do have epiphanies and change their minds about whom they are supporting. (I would say that everyone one of us had one at some point or we wouldn't be here)
4) With a limited campaign, can the Medina campaign utilize any of that information in a timely matter, or do you hand it off to the Hutchison campaign and let them run with it?
Unless those leaving the Perry Campaign have something that bites Rick on the ass, I would see no reason for any of us to get overly excited about 4 to 5 Perry staffers switching allegiance.
This is still not verified.
Anonymous postings citing unnamed sources? Not credible. Shouldn't an official spokesman of the Medina campaign should verify? Remember the billionaire.
I agree not to trust these people -
I joined a meet up group in Texas 25th congressional district for conseratives (for tea party supporters). I noticed one comment about Medina and supporters at the state's right rally at the Capital and it was not polite, I did not know at the time all the circumstances that were mentioned. Then the second one came right before the BELO debate and I had enough and then spoke my mind. Boy did the neo cons pile on the post. ( I even got a free mental evalulation from one but he has not disclosed his medical degree yet.) I started googling names and found two who were tied to a meeting with Perry for bloggers to campaign for him. Sad thing is they went after one of district's candidates and I don't think they live in this district. And yesterday big topic was that Perry has no plans for the Trans Texas Corridor (or what ever Perry calls it now) just happens one is a big Bush supporter and another a commerical estimator (no info on type of estimator).
I'd be willing to be they are still on Perry's payroll
I wouldn't trust them to even sweep the floor and take out the garbage for free. They have to eat and pay the bills somehow. If they aren't still feeding off the Perry Campaign trough under the guise of "outside consultant" or "market research" they would be working for someone else. No way no how would I allow them anywhere near the campaign at all. Thanks, but no thanks.
I don't think I would trust Perry's staffers
If they did switch, they could easily ruin her campaign from the inside. Hopefully Debra is aware of that possibility.
Real eyes realize real lies
2012, we want our country back
2012 is the year for Ron Paul!
MSM Report: http://www.msmreport.com/
This source is repeating Bolton's claim
and they also say it has reportedly been confirmed with a Medina campaign staff member:
http://www.journal-post.com/2010/02/04/2806/report-staffers-...
Also Kay Bailey's communication director is spreading word of this too.
http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2010/02/04/source-hutchison...
The above article also says Kay's campaign has been a sinking ship for six months because Kay is increasingly difficult to work for and, more importantly, refuses to listen to advice.
this smells funky.
first.....most people don't work for free....
i mean......we all worked tirelessly for around 18 to 24 months to get ron's name out there during the 2008 election cycle.....but them's an exception to the rule.....i mean..we had...and STILL HAVE.....a true motivating factor....or factors, rather.....which persisted in our sleep and each day we woke up believing even more than the day prior that our voices would be heard and that this country would wake the FUCK up.
do these staffers......PERRY STAFFERS.....even come CLOSE to realizing about our reality that which most of us here do?
my first reaction would be to say.....i think not.
and so goes my second reaction.
i think these people need to be watched and some of us should interview them. our short term plans are too easily upset by those who have real motives for working against us.
i have no doubt that one day we will prevail.....i only find it hard to believe that THAT DAY will be soon....and as close as march 2nd......especially if wrenchs are thrown in the mix.
looking forward to finding out more about this.
updated: spoke with a Medina staffer and they said that none of anyone coming from any other opposing campaign will be allowed to "touch" anything relative to Medina's campaign.
and also the move has generated interest or "press."
so there you go.
No press about this anywhere
Starting to doubt it's true. Cinco, did the campaign acknowledge Perry's staffers switched camp?
i spoke
with someone who would know. and they didn't deny it.
but perhaps this has been made into a bigger deal than it really is or was....
surely this isn't anything new.....even if for us it means something else entirely.
all i know is that SHOULD this be true.....and it very well may be so.....that no one within a shadow of a doubt will be handling ANYTHING important when it comes to Medina's campaign for the gov's chair.
and from my memories of the texas state convention and of Medina......i can't think that she'd be inclined to give up anything at this point.
free employees is NOT what she or any of us are looking for.
we want some GD results.
catfeesh?
So does this mean its true
So does this mean its true that the staffers came from Perry's camp?
Could this article have something to do with it?
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D9...
They weren't violent offenders, so I really wouldn't care.
lol
if they have any sense, they will.
Medina, be careful
having people come from the enemy camp
Yes, beware.
Good point.

Man, if this is true
and it gets exploited by the news, it would be MUCH better that a stupid Ted Nugent endorsement.
Stupid Ted. Motor City Dumb Dumb. Wang dang, don't know a damn thang.Grrrrr
Can you tell I'm mad about the Ted Nugent endorsement? I shouldn't be surprised. Marching on...

Ted ( i smeared myself with feces to dodge the draft) Nugent would be a HORRIBLE endorsement.

Maybe so.
Horrible to thinking individuals like ourselves, but a good endorsement for the dumbed down, lever pullers.
In a sense we have to think like the dummies. We have to ask ourselves, What would the dummies like? The dummies would like Sarah Palin, and Ted Nugent.
We have to feed the dummies, whether we like it or not.
All is not lost. Marching on...

from Ryan Seacrest or Richard Simmons.

Or
Simon
Maybe we could get Lady Gaga!
Maybe we could get Lady GaGa!

If this is true.
I don't think it's a good idea to hire them. Sounds suspicious to me.
I think he said they were
I think he said they were coming over for free...which I know sounds even more suspicious.
hope it's true
Thanks for posting.

No, they just said it on the Radio....I was hoping to get some verification from someone in the campaign or someone close to the campaign. If its true it will be out quickly I would assume.
That would make great news!
Search the internet to see if there is a recording of that or podcast that you can post! There usually is.
