Yeah, I remember Al Gore from back then. It's just disingenuous to suggest that he's the same animal now than he was then. You want to talk a Romneyesque full body reinvention, he's a good example. Pro life, pro guns. Old conservative democrat family.

He and his wife were running around slapping warning labels on my music back then. They'd call him a social conservative Taliban mullah for that crap these days. Even his enviro-shtick was a mild, nascent version of what it became later on.

Al Gore was a mainstream Demonrat, which means a liberal, as shown by his 9% ACU rating--actually less conservative than Patrick Leahy of VT.

And as for his father being an "old conservative Democrat," the old man was liberal by Southern standards, and took money from Stalinist fellow-traveler Armand Hammer.

Also, Algore was a punk son of a political dynasty who loafed his way through Harvard, flunked out of law school, dropped out of divinity school (where he really went just to shorten his military obligation). Yet Rick Perry thought this worthless phony was Presidential material!

Fast forward to the 2008 campaign (only 4 years ago) and Rick was still supporting a liberal for POTUS: Rudy Giuliani. 3x-married, pro-abortion Rudy, being backed by a so-called "Christian social conservative."
