Of course, you need to actually believe it. It's not like there are voting records proving it one way or another. Reagan did win Texas quite handily though, so it is clear a lot of Texas Democrats voted for him.
Fascinating. An aide says he supported Reagan in ‘84 AND ‘80 while a voter alleges that Perry himself admitted to backing Carter again in ‘80.
If he realized Carter needed to go in 1980 that would make his later support of Gore even more retarded.
Without conclusive evidence I have to assume he was for Carter in ‘80. No opinion on ‘84 other than my belief that this would be something that Perry would want to go out of his way to tell people if he indeed supported Reagan.
