You're trying to change the entire argument. We were discussing Rick Perry's long membership in the Dim party and his support of Algore in 1988, and Herman Cain's tenure in Omaha as CEO of Godfather's Pizza and the contributions he made to successful Nebraska Dim politicians, during the late '80s and '90s.
Now you're jumping to 2000 and Perry's years as governor of Texas, twelve years after he'd decided to switch to the Republican party.
But whatever, a CEO of a large company will make political contributions in the interest of his company. A politician decides which political party to join in his own interest, i.e., which gives him the best chance to win future elections.
I guess you'd include Mr. Cain in that? Or just Perry?
Whatever...
Will88, you're a FReeper. So I love ya, brother.
But you're a moving target and already have your mind made up.
See you around the forum.
God Bless You...
