Not trying to pick a fight — And not sure how you line up with Reagan, but...

“As president of the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan became embroiled in disputes over the issue of Communism in the film industry; his political views shifted from liberal to conservative.”

I think the rest is history!!!

Reagan’s mistakes aren’t the best reason to vote for someone. My preferred candidate was also a democrat once.

Mr Reagan is no longer with us, so leave him out.

Reagan was never a Marxist. He was a Democrat back in the days when most of that party were still patriots.

Comparing Perry, a hack career politician who has learned to parrot conservative slogans to get votes, while pandering to La Raza and CAIR, is downright blasphemous.

And, to the chagrin of many gave amnesty to 2.5 million illegals.

I don't think Perry would do that.

“I didn't leave the democrat party... they left me”.

Ronald Reagan

Since Reagan left the democrat party in 1962... and Perry only left the democrat party in 1990... that means that Perry was a member of the democrat party AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL STARTING IN 1985... and he served in public office as a democrat up until he switched parties in 1990... 28 years after Reagan found it so leftist and immoral that he had to divorce himself of it. That is correct... Perry embraced the democrat party long after Reagan declared it evil. HE should have listened to Ronald Reagan to begin with... so any claim comparing Perry's epiphany to Reagan's epiphany must be measured against the above facts.
