I agree with you, but some Palin supporters say she lied about McCain when she said he was the best person for the Senate, that she lied about her views on immigration when she was running for Vice President, and that she has lied in other circumstances as well where they don't like the literal interpretation of what she has said.
Although "lie" is too strong a word, they never say she lied, just that she didn't mean what she was saying, and that as a politician you have to expect people to say things they don't mean, etc.
He did not lie about Al Gore. Al gore had not yet claimed to have "invented" the internet (he did that in 1999), and he was not considered "Mr GLobal Warming" until much later.
Perry did NOT say that Al Gore was a solid conservative in 1988, some of his supporters have claimed he was a conservative democrat, and they'll have to explain what they meant. I remember Al Gore not being a crazy lunatic in the 1980s. He had some good qualities, he as reasonably pro-life, and was good on gun rights.

In an interview with an Iowa radio station on Monday, the Republican presidential contender explained his role as the Gore campaign’s Texas chairman by saying that “this was Al Gore before he invented the Internet and got to be Mr. Global Warming.”
But in fact, global warming was already a significant theme for Gore in 1987 and 1988 — long before his activism led to several books, a Nobel Prize and a part in an Academy Award-winning film. It was also well before the right gave him the “Mr. Ozone” nickname and talk radio heaped endless mockery on the future vice president.
Also...read “Earth in the Balance” and then get back to me on Gore’s timing for his econazi leanings. He was that way long before anyone ever heard the name “Rick Perry”...or “Al Gore” for that matter.
