New I know.
It's just that, well, my very first job ever was working first for Congressman Mark Hannaford of California and then working for the Jimmy Carter for President campaign in 1976.

Truman and Dewey, Nixon and Kennedy, Johnson and Goldwater, Carter and Ford, ... and now look at the differences. Today they're barely perceptible.

New Yeah, I know :-(
Goldwater, once the arch-conservative, preferred Gore in the 2000 election. Goldwater didn't change his views, the Republican Party did. :-(

Cheers,

New Goldwater-Gore, a match made in heaven
ben_tilly laments
Goldwater, once the arch-conservative, preferred Gore in the 2000 election. Goldwater didn't change his views, the Republican Party did.
Actually, Goldwater remained neutral in the 2000 election, and was not heard to express a preference for either major party candidate for the excellent reason that even before the summer's nominating conventions he'd been dead for over two years.

I do believe, though, that he would have detested Bush's grotesque cabal, and wouldn't have been shy about saying so.

cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

New Dang, must have been a piece of Clinton support
And I'm ashamed to be so far wrong in my recollection.

I remember reading, however, about how in his old age he came out and was an advocate for gay rights, legalized marijuana, etc.

He was a conservative in the sense of, "Get the government off of our backs" and not religious fundamentalism.

Cheers,
Ben
