I don't know. But, he said he voted for Carter in '76 and worked as campaign manager for Algore after Reagan left office and didn't switch parties until after Reagan left office.
Curious.
For lack of a better description, Reagan is my political hero and a kind of political litmus test. If Perry didn't vote for him and possibly campaigned against him? Epic fail.
Call my questions and comments Perry bashing or whatever you like, I call it vetting.
I'm just a concerned American who wants the best for his country, so I am doing my due diligence and sharing the results of what I find.
If I get something wrong, I know I'll get corrected here at FR.
So what? People change over 35 years.
Again, Reagan voted for FDR and was a Democrat until 1962.
And, you aware that Algore was most conservative Democrat in the race in 1988, one that was pro-life and who helped lead the charge for warning labels on records in the 1980s, aren't you?
If Reagan is your political hero, why don't you trust the judgment of his son, Michael?

Under the leadership of Gov. Rick Perry, Texas has championed and built upon the concepts my father used to rebuild America in the 1980s. -- Michael Reagan
My mom (and dad) were democratic DELEGATES to the convection in the 80's! My dad is gone now...but my mom is just as conservative as I am.
People change. Reagan did...but we seem to give him a pass. You all probably wouldn't in todays environment.
