Why is George Bush throwing John Cornyn under the bus?

[Ira Aten]

The U.S. Senate just voted to halt tolling existing roadways in Texas. A lot of folks outside Texas may not know about the ongoing plot to take 700 Million Dollars of Taxpayer money, and use it to heist EXISTING U.S. Highways in located in Texas, and begin TOLLING those roads.

So the Senate, voted to halt TXDOT and CAMPO from doing that. But George Bush is threatening to veto that bill, which simply reflects the fact that the Constitution has an equal protection clause of the States.

If Bush does that, every single Republican in office will get voted out next election, and interestingly, his fair haired Bildergerger Boy, Rick Perry, isn't running for Governor again, and is the culprit who has scammed this plan to toll existing roads on the public.

John Cornyn, will get voted out of office for not getting in front of George Bush and letting him know that the citizens of Texas are hopping mad about this North American Partnership buddy deal he has going, and we DON'T want this.

Hutchison will get voted out also. After George Bush gets through with vetoing that Bill, a Republican won't be able to get elected DOG CATCHER in Texas.

Something is very, very wrong in Washington guys.

Something stinks alright - too many weird things going on. Thsi is outgrageous!!!!!:mad:

Well, yes something stinks to high heaven.
The undisputed majority of Texans DON'T want TXDOT to toll existing roads, but Cornyn, Ric Williams, Rick Perry, Kirk Watson, and just about every politician who has had contact with these lobbyists for CINTRA/Zachy are trying to get it done, DESPITE us having hundreds and hundreds of people showing up voicing our opposition.

They went and put together a bunch of paid lobbyists and contractors and developers to start a bull shit "grass roorts" movement complete with radio ads, etc, but it is the Chamber of Commerce in Austin whose head honchos are sponsoring and paying for this so called "grass roots" effort to give these politicos an excuse (the CAMPO) board to say they "listened to the people" when what they are doing, is rigging up the first speakers early, and then when those speakers are done, the news media (who they pay advertisement money to) leave the meetings and the hundreds of protesters don't get any coverage.

They are stealing 700 Million bucks from the State coffers, of OUR tax money, and are going to use OUR money to buy a road from us, and call it LEGAL.

This is the biggest group of swindlers since JR on "Dallas".

Then, you have the DOT in Washington assisting this crap. It is all about the NAFTA superhighway. Cornyn lied in the Senate and claimed that NAFTA was a treaty and that we were obligated under it to allow Mexican trucks to come into Texas unregulated and uninspected.

(So much for security) NAFTA is NOT a treaty, it was never passed iwth a majority 2/3 vote as required. It was passed as a law, and we aer NOT obligated to simply hand over Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution to Rick Perry and George Bush's appointees in the Dept. of H.S. and the Dept. of Commerce, nor the Depr. of transportation.

this stinks to high heaven, and it MUST be halted.

Ira,

I'm trying to follow this, but it's hard to cut through the emotion of the topic anywhere that is discussing it. Can you give just the recent action in plain terms?

They want Mexico to import and transport the cheap Chinese goods to the NAU countries, they need infrastructure to do it, and then taxation to support it. King of Spains company will be allowed to Tax Americans because virtually all imports will come in cheaper thru Mexico. Goodbye Long Beach jobs. A small group of wealthy investors will bleed the taxpayer dry, make a killing on construction, and then own a virtual lock on most trade routes in and out of the USA. The beauty is they can tax every truck or train as they see fit. Its something out of James Bond movie really, like Goldfinger locking the gold market up these few elites want to own the transportation industry and maintain taxing authority over it.

[cjhowe]

Again, can I just get the recent action and not an interpretation of what the action is?

[Johnnybags]

Rudy and Fred are deeply behind this thus the chamber of commerce polls showing them ahead but when you go to Rudy events they are not well attended, not exciting and are manufactured. Rudy is only the contrived frontrunner for these guys, Fred is insurance. Hillary is another one that is for this stuff. Thus frontrunner. Follow the money and you find the frontrunner in the media polls. Money,Money,Money. Yet most Americans will not vote or vote uneducated and thus get what they deserve. Educate people. Its not a conspiracy it is happening.

Don't be too surprised if Rick Perry jumps into the Presidential race at the last minute
