Until after Ronald Reagan was actually President, we didn’t even have Republican primaries in whole swaths of Texas.
And our Democrats were not the tax and spend kind, traditionally, until later in the ‘80’s. That’s certainly not the kind that Perry was. He and his cronies were known as the “pit bulls” for their opposition to spending and growth of Government.
JFK was more conservative than W.
Democrats didn't always suck.
Liberals, globalists, and fellow travelers always did, always will.
Perry was a big Gore for prez supporter.
Ergo he was an enthusiastic supporter of big government liberal democrat crapola.
You can’t lie and say he was always a conservative. No real conservative supported ultra-lib Gore.
