Skeletons to the degree Former Al Gore democrat Perry carries are unacceptable.
Period.
I disagree.
I’m not exactly sold on Trans-Texas Rick, but stuff he did in the late 1980s while still a conservative Democrat (you know, like Ronald Reagan, Phil Gramm, and pretty much any Southern politician prior to 1990 were...) doesn’t really tell me much.
Honestly, what I find much more unacceptable is Sarah Palin helping an abject RINO like McCain win the primary in 2010over a solid conservative like J.D. Hayworth, when whoever the GOP nominated would have basically had a gimme in the general election.
That's awful close to being a complete deal-killer for me.
