That’s the type of individual that we can get behind. You know to make America proud of itself again.” I think America is an exceptional country. I think we have a great story to tell. I think the world needs a strong America both economically and militarily.
Talks like Reagan but:

Rick Perry Was Al Gore’s Texas Campaign Chairman in 1988

So what! I voted for McGovern! Texans had been democrats since the days of Reconstruction, and it was only when the democrat party became socialist liberal idiots that conservative Texans switched to the Republican Party. The Al Gore thing is really much ado about nothing. Otherwise, you will have to tell most of the Republicans in Texas that they “are not really conservative because they were previously democrat.” I don’t think you want to go there.

…..“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.

Rick Perry worked on Al Gore's Texas bid for votes in the 1988 Democratic Party Primary that Michael Dukakus won.

......."During his time in Congress, [Al] Gore opposed 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 shifted later in life after he became Vice President and ran for president in 2000…”…… Source

Gore 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: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Al_Gore According to ontheissues.org -- Gore had an 84% anti-abortion voting record and voted pro-life 27 times.

I think McCain is a worse candidate than Gore to be honest. He’s everything wrong with the Republican party, but I don’t blame Palin for supporting him. She was wrong to help reelect him in Arizona, but I don’t blame her. People are wrong at times and they change.

Look at Reagan and Amnesty....you can accurately say without that, we could potentially have many states like California in play. Reagan saw the error of his ways and I do think Perry has (from what I’ve read). Just don’t get all caught up in the internal fighting.

When it comes down to it, the next election will not only determine the president...but two court justices and that’s HUGE!
