In every court I know of, the testimony of the person directly involved is considered evidence. So if we have Perry saying that he has not voted for a Democrat for President in the general election since 1976, that would be considered evidence. The unfounded assertion of a poster ona political forum to the contrary would not be considered evidence.
A thread earlier today has Perry writing to Hillary praising her efforts on healthcare, claiming great benefit to the illegals in Texas, or something like that.
As you know, that is incorrect. Another drive-by slam at Perry with nothing to back it up. You obviously didn't even read the letter, since you reference illegals, which are never mentioned in the letter or the article. Why don't you educate yourself, rather than post inane comments.
I do believe they are required to take an oath, and are then subject to perjury charges. Politicians the Court has declared are not accountable for telling campaign lies.
Most recently they ruled that it was ok to lie about military service. So I am not required to take his statement as the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I read it and could easily realize that the greatest benefit would be to the illegal migrant workers. Brains are a useful thing to rightly divide the truth.
