You don’t understand what almost happened. He [Perry] wanted to take land from owners all the way from the southern border to the northern border and sell it to a French company that would build a toll road and that company would get the toll money and there was no upper limit set on what that toll would be.
It was to be mainly a truck route from Mexico to link up with a route to keep going all the way to Canada.
My state senator was on the state transportation committee and he was instrumental in stopping this travesty. Yes, it was a serious problem in Texas and it was Perry’s project. Part of the legal work was given to Rudy Guiliani’s law company in Texas. That was shortly before Rudy ran for president. Guess who his VP was probably going to be?
This road problem happened the same year Perry tried to, by executive order, put the Guardasil shots in schools. We had to fight that plus that road to stop both of those. What I have just written is the absolute truth. OMG! I believe you! I came up with the exact same impression of Perry after watching the debate/forum that Huckabee held. And the three Attorneys General quizzed all the candidates.
It struck me VERY wierd and anti-constitutional, that Perry kept saying he would undo Obama's executive orders with his OWN EXECUTIVE ORDERS! The Attorneys General were incredulous at Perry's remarks, and kept asking him WHERE he gets the AUTHORITY to do those things by executive order? Perry never answered them well on that.
So then you've pointed out THREE HUGE STRIKES against Perry
- his penchant for ruling by executive order (It's good to be the king)
- his attempted 'taking' of land for a super-highway (toll road) from Mexico
- his trying to force the potentially dangerous Gardasil into school girls
I hadn't thought of that third one lately (Gardasil). THANK YOU MICHELE BACHMANN for bringing that point to the public's attention!!! |
