We know he voted for Carter in 1976 (a Southern Democrat campaigning as a Christian running against a northern liberal, Ford); we know he worked on Al Gore's Texas primary in 1988 (when he campaigned as a moderate Southern Democrat running against a northern liberal Dukakis) and that he voted for Bush41 against Dukakis. But there is no evidence that I have seen that he voted for Carter in 1980 or Mondale in 1984. Since what we know about his voting pattern (supporting the ostensibly more conservative candidate), it would seem possible, maybe even likely, that Perry was a "Reagan Democrat". If you have evidence to the contrary (evidence, not just your assumption that because he was a Democrat he must have voted Dem - if that were true, Reagan never would have won in 1980), then please present it, complete with sources. IF not, then please be honest enough to admit that you are posting your own bias, not anything factual.
