Perry was a Dem in 1988. He's been a Republican for over 21 years now. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962 and 18 years later he was the GOP nominee.

Perry changed parties when he ran for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.

As Texas Agriculture Commissioner Perry wrote, on April 6, 1993, asking Hillary to keep the challenges to rural communities, farmers and ranchers in mind as the task force developed ideas on healthcare reform.

That was just two months after Clinton took office, 6 months before Hillary's healthcare congressional testimony and 8 months before a bill was introduced.

Anyone can read the letter.

He was doing the professional duty of the office to which he was elected. It was not advocacy or praise for what eventually came out of the task force or the legislation in congress.

Scarborough is a fraud...he’s fallen in love with Manhattan conservatism, which is no conservatism at all.

Joey nit-picks every Republican candidate who is “too” conservative and finds every excuse in the world for Nobama.

Joe, keep seeking acceptance in Manhattan.

You are not even close to a conservative.

Bears repeating. His job was to represent Texas Farm interests, and he wrote the letter many months before there was even a plan.
