Perry wasn't actually Gore's chair

maybe we can take solace that the left now agrees that being associated with Al Gore is a bad thing. :-)

[Just mythoughts]

The fact that these stories are still percolating is the best evidence you need of the fear the left has of Rick Perry. They are worried sick, and it shows. Perry will address this Gore nonsense when it works best for him, and not until.

Well, somebody else just posted me that algore did not have a Texas 'chair'.

I am NOT concerned about the fear of the left, given what destruction they have accomplished since 2006. They intend to win and they leave no stone unturned. AND seems that we on the 'right' always get caught in some form of a state of 'sleep'.

I don’t get it, is that a photo shopped pic supposedly to prove Perry was at a Gore fundraiser?

[org.whodat]

Do you know the number of news paper that report that he was??? I would bet it large number. Makes no difference, and does not change anything.

The Broken Clock Democrats! :)

Must be photo shopped, there's no Budhist temple.

I’ll vote my consciense, even if it means writing someone in on the top line.

Sullivan replied: "We did not (have) access to information about the Gore ’88 campaign organization and therefore 10 years later could not definitively say one way or the other."

Perry doesn't know if he was involved with the Gore '88 campaign or not? BWAHAHAHA. The man is either a fool or a phony and Ricardo Perry is no fool. I wonder if he remembers these events?

[FreeReign]

although Perry endorsed Gore, he was not his Texas chairman.

Endorsing Algore in 1988 is a bad thing.

Ray Sullivan, a spokesman for Perry’s presidential campaign, recently told us by email: "We have no record or recollection of any leadership position" for Perry in Gore’s 1988 campaign.

Funny answer. Maybe Ray Sullivan can talk to his candidate and get a more definitive answer.

[FreeReign]

Of late, there’s a July 16, 2011, reference to Perry chairing the Gore effort in Time magazine, and an Aug. 29, 2011, item in The New Yorker magazine saying Perry "became a Republican after shouldering the thankless task of running Al Gore's 1988 Presidential campaign in Texas."

There are older news reports that say Perry was Algore's state chairman in 1988.

For example here's one from 10 years ago.

Tricky Ricky’s bad back certainly doesn’t interfere with his sidestepping...

[smoothsailing]

He could have been Gore’s state chairman and taken Nancy Pelosi to the prom.

He’s still the most electable Republican running for president.

I honestly wonder what all the currently concerned freepers will do if Perry is the eventual Republican nominee.

Stay home? Vote for some third party loser that will assure Obama’s re-election?

Other than Sarah Palin, who will not run, and couldn’t win the nomination if she did, there really isn’t much else to consider.

Ron Paul attacks Republicans more than he attacks Obama.

He is a lowlife.
