Debbie Riddle - "the liberal, progressive, godless way"
AAS 9/15/10
Riddle talks about "the liberal, progressive, godless way"

State Rep. Debbie Riddle drew a connection with liberalism and godlessness today. It came during a public discussion with Evan Smith, the CEO and editor of the Texas Tribune.

When answering an audience question about paying for education for undocumented immigrants, Riddle said the concept of paying for educating undocumented people was an example of "the liberal, progressive, godless way."

Immediately, the crowd began laughing.

Then, Smith asked the Tomball Republican if she was seriously associating godlessness and liberalism, Riddle responded with: "You’re questioning that?"


Remember Riddle was the same person who in 2003 called the concept of a free public education an idea that came from the pit of hell.

"Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education, free medical care, free whatever? It comes from Moscow, from Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell. And it's cleverly disguised as having a tender heart. It's not a tender heart. It's ripping the heart out of this country."


And most recently she's pushing the idea of terrorist anchor babies.

Debbie Riddle is the undisputed queen of crazy in Texas.

1. If you can stomach it the full interview on Texas Tribune
Texas Tribune 9/17/10
A Conversation With State Rep. Debbie Riddle


She claims she was set up on CNN Anderson 360 show on the terrorist anchor babies. She calls them "vacation babies" she says. She is just so vulnerable. Oh poor little Debbie.

2. Cooper had a great rebuttal tonight about this.
I'll post the video when it becomes available. Basically, she is lying and playing the victim.

3. I'd believe Pinocchio over Riddle any day
Of course Debbie Riddle lies, she like her other Republican state leaders speak the language of lying frequently.

Look forward to the link. Glad Cooper defended himself.
