If I had been old enough to vote then, I would never have voted for him to be President.
Looking back at his career, he was in favor of an all-volunteer army at a time when that was considered crazy. He told Nixon that it was time for him to resign.
Recently, I discovered that he said the abortion debate might threaten "the perpetuation of our form of government."

She volunteered for Goldwater. Luckily, by 1968 she saw the light.
