I bet a lot of people don't know about that little tidbit.
Reagan was a Democrat.
John Connally was a Democrat.
Phil Gramm was a Democrat.
Still-Congressman Ralph Hall also from Texas was a Democrat.
Zell Miller is still a Democrat who supports Republicans now.
Ed Koch is a Democrat who supported the Republican who won Weiner’s district in NY.
You’re wrong in that a lot of people do know about this and have learned the truth behind it, that where Perry came from there weren’t enough Republicans to even hold a primary, so if you ran from there you were a Democrat or nothing.
People have learned that this was what it used to be like all over TX back in the day.
Because their brains are still set on the “learn” position, a lot of people know and long ago put that one to bed.
They do but the Perry apologists just don't care as you can see by the response to your post.
Of note and import is his quote that he plans to vote the same as when he was a dim. It's well-known that he joined Al Gore in trying to 'undo' all the Reagan had done. So, by Perry's own words he planned to continue that ideology. He switched parties out of political expediency but analysis of his record proves that he is still a liberal.
You have no right to complain when Romney is the nominee.
