I agree that there is a possibility that inaccuracies exist, but I also think it acceptable to use Wikipedia as a starting point for an investigation into finding the truth.

That's fair enough, but then you should probably specify which part of the entry you are referencing, so others can determine if you are referring to an entry that is false. For example, the entry you posted refers to Perry being the chairman of Al Gore's Texas campaign - as we can now see that part is in error.

True. I wasn’t trying to convince anyone of the truth of the claim with my first post though. I just wanted to add a little more context and offer another source. I posted the whole section of his early political career to give a little more context to the claim.

Also, I just noticed that the source in Wikipedia for the claim that Perry was Al Gore’s chairman is the same site that you linked to (albeit the Wikipedia link is dead now).

I imagine that it will come up in the debate, so it will be interesting to see how Perry responds.
