No room at the inn |
The neo-cons control the media, and they won't
think twice about eating their own...
"I have been a Republican precinct committeeman; my
county Republican Party elected me its "Man of the
Year" in 1988; I have written speeches for
conservative candidates and office holders; and I have
been employed by statewide and national political
organizations and campaigns, including the National
Conservative Political Action Committee. Despite my
disappointment in Goldwater for not supporting Reagan,
I was there when a small band of the faithful-no more
than four or five of us-gathered for a potluck dinner to
support the creation of a brand-new public-policy think
tank named after "Mr. Conservative." The enterprise
blossomed, and I was honored several months ago to
serve as Master of Ceremonies for the Goldwater
Institute's 15th Anniversary Gala."

Goldwater Republicans are practically Democrats according to the
current crop of fantatics. And that's going to destroy the GOP as we
know it.

But, he broke with Goldwater after Goldwater backed Ford over
Reagan in 1976. He said that Reagan was the more conservative
of the two.
Yet, he's no good according to the neo-cons.

After retiring from the Senate, Goldwater was effectively cast out of the
GOP by the likes of Buchannan and Gingrich. Goldwater's positions on many
issues -- that the government has no business peeking in to the nation's
bedrooms, that "voodoo economics" aka Reagan's trickle-down theory
violated the principles of fiscal conservatism and that there existed a
high, strong wall separating church and state, just to name three of them
-- were counter to Republican ideology.
Nowadays, Goldwater would not only be considered a Democrat, he would fall
to the left-of-center of the Democrat Party. I can not imagine him
supporting NAFTA, the WTO, DOMA and other Democrat causes.
