Extremism is a last resort when no other options are available. I never liked Goldwater, but at least he was not a complete asshole. In order to be a repug today you must first demonstrate what a complete asshole you are.

Remember, extremism is a vice - always was, always will be. It is only warranted when no other options are available.
