You make good points, but I don’t think the vast majority of democrats got so radical until the late 1980s. Algore is a lowdown rotten sob and always has been, but he didn’t used to be insane and was pro-life until he realized (just like Jesse Jackson) that he was going nowhere polically unless he bought in to the feminaza position.
Perry’s support of him was purely political just like Algores. That may not make him stand out morally, but I believe the man sincerely has had a change of heart. Like I said before I’m for Sarah, but if its Perry, I’m OK with that.
You sound like me, if it comes down to the usual fare, then Perry is probably better than the usual fare, but he sure isn’t a Reagan like game changer, and we know who is.
