The GOP presidential candidate says U.S. sovereignty is at risk. Highway and trade officials and transportation consultants say there are no plans for such a project.
WASHINGTON -- The man from Arlington, Texas, could barely contain his smirk as he looked into a computer video camera to pose a question of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Yup- in fact, did you notice that CNN edited out the gay military guy and Hunter’s awesome response? If you watch the archived debate, IT AIN’T THERE.

No, didn’t know that.

The do a google on NAU and SPP. Or you could question the number of connecting toll roads around the country in various states that are now owned and run by foreign corporations.
Bottom line...there's a lot going on and one has to question the motives of those who insist otherwise.
“...A 200-foot Utility Zone for large underground water lines, natural gas and petroleum pipelines, telecommunication cables, fiberoptics and overhead high-voltage electric transmission..”
*****************
OK. C’mon people.
Nobody is going to put all of those utilities along 1 road because it is not the shortest distance between 2 points.
Petroleum pipes are between gas stations and oil refineries. Natural gas lines too. Electrical lines are between power plants and population centers. Telecom cables are between cities.
THE ONLY CONSPIRACY there is, is to put Americans out of work so greedy treacherous SOBs can make a buck off your stupid slave ass.
That said, Ric and Rick are only tools. Who are the men who bought and paid for them?
We know at least one of the principals behind CINTRA, and he is very much a "principal" in every sense of the word. He is His Most Catholic Majesty, King Juan Carlos Borbon y Borbon, the King of Spain.
Looks like he wants Texas back. And Mexico too, for that matter.

Whatever credibility you might have had disappeared with this childish post.
The super highways tend to become the shortest path between two points because that is the flow of the economy in material goods. Just look at the number of ghost towns and abandoned businesses in middle America whenever the interstate replaced state highways as the major thoroughfare.
The issue tends to bolster the perceived rants of Illuminati conspiracy theorists. CFR and one world order thinkers have long promoted “regionalization”, with Canada, the US and Mexico forming the majority of this region. The intent is to remove national sovereignty and promote one international government.
If the UN and League of Nations were so great, then this new trend (about 50 years old) is just swell. /sarc
I especially like Gov Rick Perry’s site and “defense” of the TTC’s effect on Texas Citizens.

I see that. It turns out the guys in the twisted tinfoil hats just might have a point after all...
Cintras is buying the rights to toll roads from Texas to Indiana and investing in linking them up and expanding their capabilities.
The states are selling their own sovreignty over these arteries for short-term, budget-balancing reasons and in the process handing the next century of toll revenues (and control of use) to Spain.
“The intent is to remove national sovereignty and promote one international government.”
Well, why else would one think Bush has been so friendly with Mexico all these years?
I don’t see it that way. Conspiracy theories aside having a highway for truck and bus traffic that steers them around cities would relieve some of the traffic in the downtown areas and help those commuters. Being a toll road would mean those businesses using it would be paying for it instead of taxpayers. Another good thing for taxpayers. Nafta has been passed we either have to resend it or make it work for us. I recall that part of the argument against it was the dangerous Mexican truck causing all sorts of carnage and that has not happened so far.
Toll roads = evil = inneficiency. Which is why Libertarians love them (private roads).

If that were the full story I would agree. But, the plans all call for the highway starting in Guadalajara where containers from the PacRim would be loaded onto rigs driven by Mexicans and pushed across our border uninspected by US Customs until they reach an "in-land port" which could be 1,000 miles north of the border.
There has been millions spent on the research and development by NGOs and Corporate Entities here, in Canada, Mexico and the EU.

Well paul is right about a few things....
Believe me NAFTA and the “Road” are not figments of imagination/
No its not funded by America....have you noticed who is REALLY Funding the road?????
I’ve done the research....have you?
It sounds to me like you’re against REAL free trade too, but I felt it was necessary to clarify the difference. I’ve learned from experience not to argue with a protectionist on this forum, so we’ll just agree to disagree there for now.
Where do you get those plans?
