That's a hell of a lot more damaging.
Worked for him? Hmmmm, if I recall he was honorary chairmen for Gore in Texas in the Primaries at that time. In fact, there’s no indication that Perry voted for the nominee, McGovern, in 1988.
If I recall, Clinton had an interesting running mate in 1992. Global warming guy. From Tennessee. Second in line to the Presidency. Guess Cain didn’t have a problem with Gore, did he? I mean, it did say CLINTON/GORE on the ballot, didn’t it?
That’s exactly right, anyone who shilled for Al Gore doesn’t deserve any consideration at all. I cannot imagine the ignorance of the electorate in Texas that could elect this huckster 3 times. They deserve better.
Fact: supported Gore in the primary, did not work for Gore. Gore himself says Perry never worked for him, merely announced support.
Perry was a Republican by the time Clinton ran. He had already voted for George HW Bush against Dukakis in ‘88 after Gore lost in the primaries.
Therefore, while Cain was voting for Clinton and was still a Democrat, Perry was a Republican and voting for Republican candidates.
Fact: While still a Democrat, Perry voted twice for Ronald Reagan.
Fact: This is a voting profile that is shared by millions of Texans, who once voted reflexively Democrat but changed to today’s card carrying Republicans.
But Reagan carried Texas, even so, as did George HW Bush. Heck, Dwight Eisenhower carried Texas before you could hardly find a Republican in the state.
