I think it may have been lower than that.
And don't forget that Perry supported this freak just four years ago calling him, "The candidate most like Reagan".
Gore got a rating of “8” at the time on one of the conservative rating scales. That’s Babs Boxer territory.
I use Gore to point out that Perry refused to tell the truth. He could have easily said “I was a Dem then and I don’t believe those things now...here’s my eco record”
But he didn’t. He intentionally lied and tried to spin. That speaks to his integrity as a candidate and as a person.
During his tenure in the U.S. House (1977 to 1984) Gore voted pro-life 27 times and had a 84% pro-life voting record.
In letters to a constituents, he wrote: “It is my deep personal conviction that abortion is wrong. I hope that some day we will see the current outrageously large number of abortions drop sharply.” (Letters from Sept. 15, 1983, August 22, 1984, )
In a May 26, 1987 letter to a constituent he wrote: “During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal.”
I think it may have been lower than that.
