The article already stated that and I excerpted that paragraph, apparently you didn't read it: "Perry served as Al Gore's Texas campaign chair in the 1988 presidential race, just before switching his party allegiance from Democrat to Republican, but conservatives don't have to worry that Perry holds any residual affection for the former veep. "I've heard Al Gore talk about man-made global warming so much that I'm starting to think that his mouth is the leading source of all that supposedly deadly carbon dioxide," Perry said in 2007."

Amazing! So, Al Gore actually manufatured his Global Warming interest later in years. Geez! What a fake he is.

“Rick Perry was Al Gore’s Campaign Manager in 1988”

True enough, but at the time, there was no Republican Party worthy of the name in Texas, and both Perry and Gore were considered extremely right wing Democrats. Times are different now; the parties have shifted away from the center, Gore has descended into charlatanry, and Perry could not stick to conservative principles while remaining in the Democratic Party. Churchill and Reagan both did much the same thing. This man gives even the most ardent Freeper 90% of his heart’s desire in a politician, while being extremely well positioned to beat Obama. We can hold his feet to the fire on immigration well enough after he kicks the socialist out. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the very good.
