I am personally more concerned with Rick Perry pushing toll roads here in San Antonio and bullet trains statewide(a boondoggle if there ever was one, especially here in Texas - NO ONE is going to give up their own vehicle). Even after he was smacked down by San Antonio voters he continued to push the toll road idea. Belatedly, he agreed that toll roads are not the way to go but he sure was hard headed about it.

I instinctively have a distrust of former Democrats who become Republicans to win (including Perry and Bachmann). As my governor, I would agree Perry isn’t all bad, but he definitely has some shortcomings as a conservative leader (Gardasil, toll roads, bullet trains, and amnesty).

Conservatives favor Capitalism and reject Socialism. Toll Roads are capitalistic and charge user fees. Free highways are socialistic and distribute the costs among people who don't even use those words.

The correct Conservative position is to demand toll roads and reject public roads.
