The meeting took place and Perry Xed the TTC. Doesn't matter who the guy was or who he took money from. The fact is the meeting took place is credible and verifiable. I understand you have something else you'd like to hang on and believe...that is not my problem but yours. But these are facts and the truth.
It does matter who the guy took money from. And it does matter that Perry tried to push the TTC in the first place. If Obama tried to push the TTC, people would be in the streets. Perry does it, but we rebuffed him, so it's no harm, no foul. Guess what? I don't want a Republican that we have to constantly force to be a Conservative, and a true Conservative would never have tried to force the TTC on us in the first place. A true Conservative would definitely have not tried to use a foreign company as the primary contractor as well. That was just spitting in our faces.
Why can't we have a Conservative that we can trust not to try and do things like the TTC, the Gardisil crap, supporting La Raza, etc., etc., etc.?
Are Conservatives in such short supply that we can accept Republicans who think it's okay to take half a million acres from Texans and have some foreign company come in and build a huge corridor from Mexico to Oklahoma? Don't forget that within a year of the TTC being killed off, Perry was out there preaching the gospel of property rights. That's the kind of hypocrisy that actually kind of fascinates me about Perry. People make him out to be stupid, but not many politicians could go for a half a million acre land grab and then be talking about respecting private property rights a year later.

More bias bs...let's get the facts straight.
Perry did not conceive of this thing, congress did. They passed in pieces beginning in, I believe, 1991. Bush signed it in 2002. This was the I69 portion and federally mandated. Perrys part in this was bringing in arms of this I69 corridor, both the legislature and voters approved. The thing didnt become a disaster until TXdot staked it out and farmers realized eminent domain was going to walk all over them. This was not Perrys fault. I posted a link of the truth which you will not accept.
But then since you continue to hold on to untruths...what's the point of this discussion...you've made of your mind and so far facts are not important to you. So I end this discussion.
