been more or less a "conservative" since I worked for Goldwater in '64 at the age of 10.

I say "more or less" because I've stayed pretty much a Goldwater conservative while the conservative movement has gathered in other flavors such as the religious right and the neocons. If John McCain would stop with the ridiculous fawning to the media/trendy crowd and went back to being John McCain circa 1998, I'd say I'm today a McCain conservative.
