AM, there is no factual evidence that Perry ever voted for Reagan.

And there is no evidence that he did not vote for Reagain, either. And that is the point. If you state that particular claim as your opinion, it can stand. If you state it as fact, it will not, as you cannot prove it either way without a statement from Perry as to how he voted. FR should not be used to be used to try and establish false facts. We get enough of that from the MSM as it is.

If one cannot "conclude" that an elected Democrat voted Democrat in the timeframe and was known for supporting liberal Democrats, what can one rationally state ? Perry has already proven his dishonesty with historic revisionism, sending out his supporters to make the claim that Al Gore was a Conservative when he supported him for President in 1988, when that was an outrageous falsehood. At this point, Perry would indeed be "less than honest" when it would come to claiming just exactly which person he voted for. Short of having a photograph in the voting booth, you're not going to have 100% courtroom-level unimpeachable "proof." I will state with 99.999% certainty that my claim based on his record as being a Democrat is correct. If we are to set that impossibly high a threshold here on FR, it will force you and the other AMs to remove an infinite number of posts on an endless number of subjects. I protest I am being unfairly targeted here.
