[ontap wrote in #30:] 'Do you have any thing to support this post?'Yes fellow FReeper ontap, she does. It's called the Internet and the facts you can find on it (thank you Al Gore), like these:
Oh, you subsequently asked someone, "who is the true conservative running'.
Well, here ya go.....
No offense meant and you have a nice day
B T T T
Which one? Inquiring minds want to know...
2.Perry cozied up to HillaryCare with a gushing letter so she wouldn't forget Texans.
How so? The letter he wrote is posted on the FreeRepublic. One would think that you'd want everyone to see it...
3.Perry cozied up to ACORN with the compelling of Banks to give Mortgage Loans to people who could never pay for them.
The law he signed is also posted here... and doesn't say that. Why are you hiding the information? Don't you want everyone to see what Perry's done?
5.Perry pushed and help pass the Texas Dream Act for ILLEGALS.
Again, that information is here to see. The Texas Dream act allowed *ANYONE* who had lived in Texas for 3 years or more to *PAY* the in-state tuition rate. Why aren't you saying that, instead of conflating the Federal government's Dream Act and placing Texas in from of it. After all, you want people to know Perry's record...
6.Perry OPPOSED tighter immigration controls for Illegal Alien Criminals and condemned Arizona's Law.
How so? Everything he's done and said is for tighter controls on the border. What is it that was in opposition to that? Are you saying that condemning the Arizona law ("I have concerns with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas." - Perry.) is the reason? Also, that 'condemnation' looks kinda weak, now that the actual quote is shown. Why'd you feel the need to hide that?
9, 10, 11. Perry Endorsed the über liberal Rooty Julie-Annie for POTUS.
Considering that we had John McCain as our candidate... that's REALLY weak. Wow.

REFERENCE Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Spain's Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas
DALLAS Bracewell & Giuliani LLP advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties.
The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."
Three firms have competed for the Comprehensive Development Agreement for State Highway 121 since last summer. The proposals were reviewed and scored based on selection criteria set forth by the Regional Transportation Council, the metropolitan planning agency for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
This CDA is a public-private partnership that allows the provider to handle all facets of developing the toll road, including completing construction and operating and maintaining the corridor.
Cintra, a subsidiary of Grupo Ferrovial specialized in toll roads and car parks, is one of the world's leading private-sector developers of transport infrastructure.

TX governor Perry rapped for paving way for construction of Trans-Texas Corridor
One News Now | August 24, 2007 | Chad Groening
FR Posted on 08/25/2007 by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor--- which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada.
Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in Texas when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project.
The Texas Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, and voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto. The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor.
NOTE Perry used eminent domain to take property from Texans to give to Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties (the "trade road" is four football fields wide).
Approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, it is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Rudy Giuliani's Texas-based law firm with global connections) is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Transportation Commission.
Oh no. I see those birds flocking in to drop their poop again. Watch out.
