Or what?

People who know something about the subject and who are capable of a reasonable discussion have varying views about the Road.

Nothing would ever be built without eminent domain. It doesn’t take that much land and the owners are well compensated. The TTH was a bright idea and showed Rick Perry’s thinking outside the box as they say.

Perry took chances when he believed in something. He’s taken chances with a couple of stances in this race, as when he wouldn’t support corn gasoline in Iowa just to get votes. Santorum did.

He knows he’s taken an unpopular stance on the troops also, but it’s what he believes. He doesn’t trust Iran and he doesn’t think our troops should have given years of their lives only to be pulled out as a political ploy.

Equine feces. The Great Northern Railroad was built entirely without it, nor with government land grants.

Bull. The number of cases of redevelopment agencies using eminent domain to deny speculative value are so numerous as to become legendary.

It was inside the pocket, not outside the box.

That's laudable and was noted. I guess I place his pandering for demographic suicide a little higher than you.

But once out of Iraq, it's not our decision whether to go back in without setting one very ugly precedent.
