fieldmarshaldj — Please allow this thread to focus on Mitt Romney’s environmental policy people who now work for the Obama Administration.
I know you have stated your aim is to take out Perry and clear the path for Cain. But this is an important thread about Mitt Romney — who we both agree should not be the GOP presidential nominee.
Yes. When Perry was a Democrat in 1988 he supported Al Gore’s run in the Democratic Primary (Dukakus won). Perry did vote for Ronald Reagan (has stated he did vote for Carter because he thought he would be good for farmers). Al Gore was considered a moderate — Pro-Life, 2nd Amendment, a moment of silence in schools Democrat — his views radically changed when he ran for VP in 2000.
Rick Perry joined the GOP in 1989 [joining Phil Gramm and others] as the Republican party took root and it became obvious it was home for Conservative Democrats. Rick Perry was the first Republican to become Texas Lt. Gov. since Reconstruction. During his tenure as governor Texas has built a GOP super majority.
Gov. Perry repudiates Global Warming and is fighting the EPA stranglehold on Texas. The Obama administration’s (and Mitt’s former — perhaps future) science advisers are waging a war against Texas). Perry will go after the regulations and dictates the EPA and Energy have imposed that are destroying jobs and killing our economy.
Excuse me, I targeted a specific and demonstrably false point in the article. You have also continued to make an absurdly false claim with respect to Gore in an attempt to elevate Perry as it is part of the talking points and revisionist history his campaign dictates. As a Tennessean who was WELL aware of Gore and his voting record, I take extreme offense to this falsehood you and the authors of this article continue to proliferate.
You wish to take down Slick Willard, be my guest, since I already did the heavy lifting for you here starting almost 5 years ago when a lot of folks were ready to just surrender to him, but when you repeat specific fallacies as truth, I will promptly correct you and call you out.
Your own post put the topic into play, CW. Don't whine when someone brings it up.
