Perry's father was a powerful democrat politician in their county, Perry was a cheerleader in college when it was time for him to register, Perry is a career politician himself and won his first democrat office when the rest of Texas was voting for Reagan, even after Reagan left office Perry signed up to run the Texas portion of the left wing Al Gore's (ACU of 9) campaign.
We can assume that the college attending cheerleader son of a local democrat politician registered to vote in the year that the 26th Amendment to the Constitution was passed, in the year when the 18 to 29 year old voter participation was higher than it has ever been in our history and in a year of high national turn out and passions.
It’s over, ansel12, you’ve exhausted your credibility, ply your assumptions to someone who takes you seriously.
Tell us an acceptable year when Perry could have made the switch to your liking. 1971? 1980? 1942? 1807?
If this were such a huge deal, as it is in your eyes, then tell us why conservative republicans voted Perry into multiple terms as governor?
Were they wrong?
