Unless conservatives can come up with cogent arguments against HSR then just let it go.

My goodness. How about, 1)We are broke and can't afford it. 2) We don't need it. 3)The people of California don't want it. 4) contrary to your wishful thinking there are no "private firms" ready to cough up 70 or 100 billion to build a train no one cares to ride. If there is I'd sure like to hear about it--so I could short their stock.
