During the 1964 campaign, Fidel Castro threatened to turn off the water at Guantanamo. A reporter asked Barry Goldwater what he would do as President if Castro did that.
“I’d send in the Marines and turn on the water.”
The Goldwater supporters joked after the campaign that “they told me if I voted for Goldwater, we’d get in a war. Well, they were right. I voted for him and we’re in one.”
AuH2O. In your heart, you know he’s right.
Paul is probably closest to Goldwater’s principles domestically, but pretty far from him in terms of foreign policy.
I personally do not think he is presidential material and while I may agree with him on some issues, his battered spouse-syndrome regarding Islamofascists and his total lack of leadership experience lead me to continue to support him staying in Congress rather than being our parties nominee.
