Yet another demonstration of the dishonesty of the Perrybots.

Let’s entertain your fantasy for a moment that a liberal Democrat like Perry was in the 1980s would vote for Reagan... well, that would mean he not only lied to his constituency, but was a traitor to his own party. If he can lie to his constituents as an elected Democrat about whom and what he supports, it is just as easy to do so as a Republican.

It’s that basic dishonesty thing that Perry and his supporters have. It was the #1 reason I opposed Slick Willard and one of the top two reasons I oppose him (along with his stance on open borders).

Perry was never a Liberal.

The fantasy is yours. I was a Texas Democrat in the 1980's, and most, especially those of urban roots, weren't liberals.

Ooh, I even voted for John Sharp for Comptroller, and thought he did a good job. I participated in the Texas Tomorrow Fund, too. oooohhh.

“It’s that basic dishonesty thing that Perry and his supporters have.”

That’s a rather sweeping generalization.

What President secured the border?

What candidate is stronger and has experience dealing with border issues? This was my biggest complaint with Bush.

But, Perry is NOT Bush.

Perry will secure the border as Commander in Chief when he has the authority, the funds and the man power/equipment available to him.

Reagan gave them amnesty and did not secure the border.

I didn’t vote for Reagan the first time either. I was a Texas Democrat too. I switched to Republican because of Reagan’s first term and I did vote for him for re-election.

I have been a Republican every since.

Texas was predominately Democrat in the 80’s.

Texas is now predominately Republican.

Texas Democrats in the 1980’s = Republicans.

The Democratic party left them and they switched to Republican.
