Don’t be a child, when a man signs up to run for office as a democrat in the same year that Reagan was winning 64% of his state then we know how he voted, and when he follows that up with running the campaign to defeat Reagan’s veep the next election, it writes it in stone.

Readers should note that the poster has been reduced to calling me names, and yet still cannot offer anything other than his opinion couched as fact to support his assertion. Of course if his "logic" were true, then it would follow that no Texas elected Democratic official could have voted for Reagan. I think history proves that a lot of Democratic officials voted for Reagan, especially in the South.

Does this prove Perry voted for Reagan? No, but then I was not trying to prove he did - just pointing out that the poster could not prove he didn't.

When a democrat voted Reagan, he campaigned on it, Perry was a dedicated, passionate democrat, who even signed up to stop the Reagan veep from winning in 1988.

It is ridiculous to pretend that the 1988 democrat anti Bush party chairman was actually a secret Reagan/Bush supporter. It is childish to play such games.
