Al Gore, for whom Perry was the TX campaign chairman, had a lower (i.e. more liberal) ACU rating (9%) than Patrick Leahy (D-Vt), Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), Wm. Proxmire (D-Wi), Harry Reid (D-Nv), and Arlen Sphincter ("R"-Pa).

In 2004, Zell Miller had an ACU rating of 75%.

Zell Miller is not remotely comparable to Al Gore. Miller had an ACU rating of 73% in 2004.

If you go on claiming that Rick Perry is a committed conservative, we will call you on the facts, again and again. Some of us do not want another phony "conservative" shoved down our throats again.

…..“Gore won a seat in Congress in 1976 "with 32 percent of the vote, three percentage points more than his nearest rival." He won the next three elections in 1978, 1980, and 1982 where "he was unopposed twice and won 79 percent of the vote the other time." In 1984, Gore successfully ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate, which had been vacated by Republican Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker. He was "unopposed in the Democratic Senatorial primary and won the general election going away," despite the fact that Republican President Ronald Reagan swept Tennessee in his reelection campaign the same year.

......."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

Don't tell me you're this ignorant about Gore. He used to be pro-life, he used to take money from whacko Fred Phelps and he and his wife led the charge on putting warning labels on records back in the 1980s. In fact, Gore had an 84% pro-life record back in the 1980s:

According to ontheissues.org, Gore had an 84% anti-abortion voting record and voted pro-life 27 times back.

If you go on claiming that Rick Perry is a committed conservative

If he isn't conservative, why did he receive Tea Party support and Sarah Palin's support during the last election cycle?
