You left off the "southern democrat" part, troll.
......."During his time in Congress, [Al] Gore was considered a "moderate" (he referred to himself as a "raging moderate") opposing federal funding of abortion, voting in favor of a bill which supported a moment in silence in schools, and voting against a ban on interstate sales of guns. His position as a moderate (and on policies related to that label) shifted later in life after he became Vice President and ran for president in 2000…”…… Source
Yes. Of course Gore was a "conservative". ROTFLOL, VL.
It will be very helpful in the present and future
for FReepers to understand that you (and Rick Perry?)
call Al Gore (Southern Democrat) a "conservative".
So is your glass half full, half empty, or as engineers argue, twice as big as it needs to be?
Perry has his issues that smack of the same go-along-to-get-along problems we have continually had with the squishy pubbies in DC. If he has any inclination to be a part of the establishment club, off to the showers with his campaign.
