Must We Judge Texans by Their Actions in 1988?

Immediately before tonight’s Republican debate on MSNBC, I saw this Ron Paul ad, insinuating that Rick Perry is the inferior choice for Republicans, because he was a Democrat and worked for Al Gore’s presidential campaign in 1988.

Of course, that was 23 years ago. You know what else happened that year? Ron Paul ran for president as a Libertarian. So he may not be the right guy to play the “party loyalty” card.
