You creeps have nothing to do but to insult anyone who sees through your career hack hero Rick Perry. If Perry had been a success as a rancher, why did he spend all his life as a politician, much of it as a Demonrat?
You, sir/madam, are an uneducated idiot. Sorry, there is no other way to describe you. First off, Perry was first elected to office in 1984. He was 34 years old at the time. Prior to that, he was a farmer and rancher.
Second, Perry was an elected Democrat office holder from 1984 to 1989 - five years. He has been in politics for 27 years. His time as a Reagan Democrat is a mere footnote to his political career.
