You might have a point there. Some very 'strange' type of people there in Texas who are called "CONSERVATIVES" who would actually head up the GORE CAMPAIGN in 1988 when Reagan was still in office.
You are right, I definitely DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
And...we are also supposed to SWALLOW that all of a sudden within ONE YEAR'S TIME (from 1988 to 1989), Perry had a "conversion" of philosophy from GORE "Texas Conservatism" while the person you compare him to (Reagan) was actually still in office after 8 years, to REAL "Conservatism" less than a year later?
Perry could plead insanity for the time he campaigned for Al Gore. But I am still not sure it would help his case, though.
