Barry Goldwater

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."

I didn’t know what was going on but he, to me, was the embodiment of the bogeyman. I did know he was trying to get people to turn against their friends
