I like Sarah the best but I could happily vote for Perry also. The vaccine order had a parental opt out. I was in the Army and had to get a lot of vaccinations that I thought were stupid or downright unsafe (Anthrax),so maybe I have more of a problem than most people getting riled up about any vaccination order that includes an opt out. The TTC was not a big deal to me either, the plain truth is that I-35 sucks and is inadequate for the traffic it handles. I remember thinking on more than one of the times when I was stuck in a traffic jam on 35 that it would be nice to have a main north-south road in Texas that was not closed for hours every time there is a big accident on it. He could have gone about it differently, but any way he did it, somebody would have bitched. I mean the options are limited. You can have a private company do it and charge a toll to pay for it or you can have the state do it and raise taxes to pay for it. Either way, something will eventually need to be done about I-35, the solution will likely use imminent domain to some extent and people will surely complain about how it is done. The governor who does finally come up with a solution will undoubtedly be called a RINO for years to come over it.

You should try I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff sometime; and they can't add more lanes because the highway is snaking through the mountains (Flagstaff is at about 7000 feet and the ground rises from there to the Grand Canyon at 8000 feet.)

Cheers!

If you own property in Texas, it should have scared the hell out of you that the government wanted to take 100s of thousands of acres and turn control of it over to a European corporation, all the while Perry friends and associates were benefiting financially. I don't see how any Conservative in Texas could not be upset by the TTC crap. If Obama tried that, people would be marching in the streets.
