“Im a little bit cautious about converts, its hard for me to imagine ever being a democrat.”
It’s even HARDER for me to see anyone who calls himself conservative being a leader in Al Gore’s 1988 presidential run, particularly when Gore’s conservative rating was a “9” out of 100:

It’s also hard to see how ANYONE who claims to be conservative can immediately support the Democrats after their attempted IMPEACHMENT of Reagan for Iran Contra.
Nope...Perry DEFINITELY was not a conservative back then, regardless of what he claims to be. He also isn’t one now, given all the crap he’s done as governor, and especially because of his plan, announced THIS WEEK, to legalize ALL of the Illegals in this country, so they can work.
We don’t need that - we need them to simply GO HOME.
It still amazes me that the GOP ever considered Michael Bloomberg on of their own, Giuliani is almost as extreme, as is Romney, but that is the state of things.
Perry was not a leader in Al Gore's primary run, he merely endorsed him. Al Gore was considered the conservative Democrat running in the 1988 presidential primary (pro-Life, family values, 2nd Amendment). Dukakus took the nomination and Perry washed his hands of the party and joined the GOP. Perry also voted both times for Ronald Reagan.
