Say WHAT!?
Is this for real? And I’m supposed to think about voting for a guy that was involved with Algore’s campaign.
The more I read about this guy the more I definitely do not like him.
This was around the time Tipper Gore was promoting parental warnings for music albums.
The Gores seemed like a somewhat normal family.
I do hope you all realize the Perry bashing through many of these articles is coming from the left is too get us Romney as the nominee.
This thread might as well discuss the next 4 years of Obama.
Even Mr. Heston of the NRA fame was a Democrat at one time. People can and do change. Even Saint Reagan was a Democrat. I might add and FDR Democrat. FDR for goodness sake. The worst President on domestic issues EVER.
Perry: “Sure I’ll give you my view on the issue. Which one would you like to hear?”
Back then the big thing was the ozone layer depletion. A lot of republicans were worried about that as well.
"Did everyone know that TX Governor Rick Perry voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980 against Reagan and then voted for Mondale in 1984 AGAIN against Reagan? Seriously? And he voted for Dukakis in 1988 against GHWB? Ummmmmm........"Houston, we have a problem!!!!"
"Look it up! Rick Perry is not what he is presenting himself to be."
But you know, Politico has our best conservative interests at heart, so they are really only trying to help us out here.
Perry was specifically asked about this aspect of Gore (and no, the Gore who expressed concern about the ozone was nothing like mr Global Warming joke that he turned into later), and noted that he didn’t agree with Gore at the time on that issue.
I think it’s fine that people are upset that Perry was a 1988 Al Gore supporter and campaign chair — but it taints the evidence to pretend that Al Gore in 1988 was anything like the Al Gore of today.
Still, I think we need to be extremely concerned with what all our candidates were doing in 1988, because that is just so much more important than the destruction of our society and the bankrupting of our nation.
However, one thing I will not do is fail to vote for anyone who is aligned against Obama.
Perry met Al Gorp and knew he was a moron but supported him anyway..
Probably he hasn’t got any smarter..
Unless he didn’t know Gorp was a moron.. in which case he is himself a moron...
This is utterly ridiculous. It is said that there are two parties, the Democrats who are neo-Marxists and the “Stupid Party” the Republicans. Anyone turning against Perry for something he did nearly a quarter of a century ago is an idiot. If they will not support Perry in the general election they are fools who deserve the hell that will descend upon America in 2012 is Obama wins a second term because of Republican Stupidity.
Good Grief! We in Texas have seen Perry perform for the better part of a decade. If we had seen a “Rino” or a Democrat in sheep’s clothing we would have blown the whistle on him. He is a damn good conservative that should receive the full support of any decent American who wants to save this nation from Obamanism. Get a life and grow up. There is no perfect candidate. Even Reagan was a Democrat at one time as I would speculate many who visit this site. We had the scales fall from our eyes. I suggest the rock throwers here who would trash Perry get a life.
...There are TWO Rick Perrys...
(Don't trust either one.)
.
That means he’s as stupid as Gore.
Open borders
Support of Texas Muslims
Supported Algore
3 strikes...You're OUT!
