Perry was a happy-ass democrat - the party of big federal government involvement in education and everything else.

Yeah... Back in the 1980s when Texas was almost totally Dem. Perry switched to Repub. in 1989 when he saw the Dems were moving to the liberal dark side, and that’s also when Texans in general began leaving the Dems. Texans are strongly opposed to federal government involvement in State matters and so is Perry.

It’s best to just support your own candidate, Notw..., instead of throwing rocks at the others by making up stuff.

People who know nothing about Texas politics keep bringing that issue up.

You’re a Texan and so am I and we understand the evolution of Texas politics.

Texas has always been conservative. It just went from conservative democrat to conservative Republican and Perry went with that.

When Perrywinkles throw up what Gingrich did in decades past, it is only fair to note that Perry was a member of the official abortion party until 1989. He was an official abortion lover for 16 years (about 20 million abortions). But hey - its in the past. That was when Newt was voting for Reagan’s historic tax cuts.
