Mr. Perry WAS an adult when he endorsed the Prophit Algore, was he not? So, his actions cannot be explained away as some kind of "younthful indiscretion", can they?

What, then, does he have to say for himself? Has he provided a valid explanation?

[By the way, I would consider: "I was really drunk/stoned at the time" to be a better explanation than: "I honestly thought that Al Gore would make a better president than George W. Bush". After all, a person can quit using intoxicants, but as another famous Texan, Ron White, says: oes: You can't fix stupid.]

Oops, sorry! It was the '88 presidential campaign.

Still, how could ANY thinking person believe Al Gore would EVER have been a better president than... well, than ANYONE... ...other than the individual who currently infests the White House, that is. I'm willing to give Mr. Gore that one.

Rick Perry on his support of Al Gore:

"Al Gore, from my perspective at that particular point in time, was the most conservative of the Democrats. I still thought that there was a place for conservative Democrats in the Democrat party. ... This was well before I had a deep understanding about his stands on global warming as well. He had them then, and that's my fault for not doing it."

"I honestly thought that Al Gore would make a better president than George W. Bush".

Huh? Are YOU stoned? This was in 1988, in the Democratic primary. Gore was running against Dukakis and Jesse Jackson at the time. The Republican nominee hadn't even been selected at that point.

Guess the ronpaulnut siren call went out as we seem to be picking up the usual herd of PDS coyotes.
