Other Democrats who changed to Republican:
Phil Gramm
John Connally
Ronald Reagan
James Baker
Sonny Perdue
Condoleeza Rice
Jesse Helms
Michelle Bachmann
If you’re calling Perry a RINO for changing party affiliation, you’re calling all of the above RINOs. Go back to DU.
Sorry, he sc....d the pooch back when he took on being the Algore's chairman in Texas.
That is simply unforgivable.
Regarding the others, Gramm, Connally, Baker, Perdue, Rice and Helms didn't go on to run for President ~ and Bachmann made the big switch in her fourth year of college ~ long before getting into politics in any respect.
We used to need RINOs to run in the Souf' ~ you people shot or hanged 30,000 Republicans in fact, so it could be tough.
These days we don't need them.
Ronald Reagan NEVER ran for public office as a Democrat. He was not a RINO.
