But they're extremists!!!1!
Today Goldwater would be considered an eeevil liberal RINO that must be expelled from the GOP by our tea-partying friends. Not just because of his advocacy for sane social views later in his life, but Goldwater opposed JFK's tax cuts because he feared they would dramatically increase the deficit. Nowadays there is no room in the Republican Party for anyone who opposes any sort of tax decrease.
Ah, so you consider being pro-abortion to be the "sane" position, Donny. Good to know.
Also LOL at the notion that you and Goldwater would agree on anything besides war.
Goldwater would be considered an "eeevil liberal RINO" for holding positions the exact opposite of you and your pro-big government worldview.
