You would write a check to the former Texas chairman for Al Gore’s 1988 presidential campaign?

---

Not everyone is so astute or so fortunate as to be a life long conservative. At the time (1988) Gore then 39 yoa, was considered a Southern Moderate of high moral character. Gore assailed Jesse Jackson’s foreign policy views, saying he was ‘dismayed’ by Mr. Jackson’s ‘embrace of Arafat and Castro’. Mike Dukakis won that nomination.

All this to say it looks like Perry may have had a learning experience or two since then.

I agree with you, not to mention also that Tipper was practically the poster girl for social conservatism back then. I remember my teenagers rolling their eyes at the very mention of her. Different times.
