Actually, I am a dyed in the wool supporter of personal property rights.

I do not hate Perry as a person, but what he was involved in should disqualify everyone who was a part of pushing it from any position in government.

Ever.

They took Kelo Vs. New London and tried to do it on a grander scale, compounding it with an attempt to prevent future generations of Texans from widening roads that are the major transportation arteries in some areas.

That's not okay.

You don't get to just say you made a mistake, and you can't bluster your way into getting other people to think it was okay, It was not and it should be a career killer for all involved.

So that is where a lot of us are with Perry. It isn't him as a person, it is everyone that was involved with the TTC fiasco.

That will also include Giuliani, should he try to get back into national politics.

MrEdd,

The Texas Trans-Corridor project never happened. Admittedly, there was a huge outcry against it - primarily from ranchers and large landowners. Gov. Perry weighed the situation and it never happened.

If this project had materialized and got underway, you'd have a much stronger argument. Just like the weak Gardasil accusations, NEITHER of these programs actually happened. Perry listened to the voice of the people. Contrast that with Obamacare, which was shoved through despite the public's overwhelming opposition.
