Tonight, I think we are seeing the Goldwaterization of the GOP.

[McCamy Taylor]

No disrespect to the dead senator, but I remember back in 1964 when I was 5, my Democratic mother hoped and prayed that Goldwater would get the Republican nomination, because that would be the ruin of the Republican Party.

Sure enough, LBJ had a landslide victory and Congressional Dems got a super majority.

Now, if we can just donate enough money to SCOTUS certified free speech political groups to publicize all the reasons America should be afraid. Very afraid.

1. For a nutjob in the 60s

He was fairly level-headed close to the end of his life to the point that other republicans were disassociating themselves from him - especially after he came out in favor of gay rights. What we're seeing will hopefully be called the Palinization of the GOP.

5. goldwater had his revenge in reagan & the last 30 years.

today's gop is to the right of goldwater. & that's the "normal" ones.

the teabaggers are pushing the country further to the right.

and if the democrats don't deliver a better economy, that's where the country's going to go.

6. They would have voted out Goldwater for being too liberal... what are you talking about?
