Oh, boo hoo. The Al Gore of 1988 was a different animal. Pro-life, not pro-gay, conservative on defense, pro-economic growth. Heck, I’d vote for Gore circa 1988.

Secret info... Rick Perry met Al Gore personally and hung with him and didn’t know he was an imbecile..
-OR- he did know... but didn’t care..

What other democrats is Perry comfortable with..?

“Back in 1988 Rick Perry,... was a Democrat.”

Back in ‘88 I was a long-haired maggot infested dope smoking fm type and I had enough sense to vote Republican.

We should accept that alliances in political parties are comparable to networking in specified industries.

Or consider it part of the work day. Just because we have lunch in the company cafeteria is not because the cuisine is superior - it’s simply convenient, cheap and the boss sometimes sits at your table.

Perry did appear with 27 fellow Texas House Democrats who endorsed Gore at a Jan. 5, 1988, Texas Capitol press conference.

Tennessee lawyer Tom Jurkovich, Gore's Texas director, told Politifact by email that "we may have named (Perry) to a 'steering committee' or as one of several campaign 'co-chairs,

So Ricardo did endorse Algore and he did serve as a member of his campaign but he really didn't mean it and only did it out of political expediency. What else has Ricardo pretended to do out of political expediency.

Was this done out of polticial expediency?

Or how about this?

My hubby hates to admit it, but he liked Al Gore in the late 80’s. Granted he was about 18 and stupid! Hubby also thinks that Gore seriously went crazy over the years spanning about 93-2000, when the election put him clearly over the edge. He does show a lot of the signs of a breakdown.

Wasn't Reagan a cheerleader for Hollywood union members? Wasn't he even the president of that union.

Didn't Reagan sign a bill in California that was pro-abortion?

Didn't Reagan sign an amnesty bill as president?

Didn't Reagan spend a lot of money?

Was Reagan ever in the military?

Didn't Reagan vote for one of the biggest socialist presidents ever (FDR)?

With all that Perry doesn't look all that bad.

Isn’t it amazing how DemonRAT LIES take on a life of their own. Sharp tells the BIG LIE and Paulettes repeat it ad nauseum.

I wish Jim would ban this lie from being spread on FR.

Rick Perry was Al Gore's "Yell Leader", not cheerleader. But who the heck cares? That was 30 years ago.

Perry's response was priceless:

"The Perry campaign responded to the ad by noting that Paul ran against Reagan as a Libertarian in 1988 and produced Paul's 1987 letter of resignation from the Republican party, which refers to Reaganomics as "nothing but warmed-over Keynesianism."

That was so good that I added it to my new web site, The Rick Perry Report

The Democrat party was not near as bad, back when Reagan jumped ship. The Democrat party was much worse, when Perry was Gore’s campaign manager. The circumstances of Reagan leaving and Perry leaving are not even close in comparison.
