You and I have had this argument before, and you are immune to logic and reason. Despite your claims of being a Texan and knowing Texas politics, you obviously know nothing about Texas Democrats in the 80’s, so further discussion with you is a waste of time. You may continue to troll the Perry threads with your claptrap - I will continue to correct you as I have the time and the inclination.
Yeah, me as a Texan born and raised, who's stepfather held elective office in Texas, and who has never registered Democrat although I registered about the same time as Perry, and I was voting along with the 64% of Texans voting for Reagan while Perry was joining up to become a leader in the Democrat party and in four more years to fight to replace Reagan with Al Gore, I of course was voting to continue Reagan's Cold War efforts.
In fact Reagan had such an effect on me and Perry that at almost the same exact time, Perry was motivated to become a Democrat leader, and I was motivated to go back into military service and was even seeking mercenary work to help Reagan's Cold War efforts.
Am I disappointed that in 1988, Perry wanted to end the Reagan Revolution by replacing him with Al Gore, at that important moment when the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse? You betcha!
