You, sir/madam, are an uneducated idiot. Sorry, there is no other way to describe you. First off, Perry was first elected to office in 1984. He was 34 years old at the time. Prior to that, he was a farmer and rancher.
Second, Perry was an elected Democrat office holder from 1984 to 1989 - five years. He has been in politics for 27 years. His time as a Reagan Democrat is a mere footnote to his political career.
Red South and others have documented how Perry was anything but a conservative throughout his poliitical career.
The Founding Fathers were opposed to the country's being run by career politicians. All of them had other ways of making a living. Perry has never had any real career or ambition outside of politics. Posing as a conservative gets him elected in Texas.
