Look at where we are now. The GOP can barely defend the positions that the Dems held in the '60's and now we are outspending them. Kennedy was for a huge tax cut and HHH was is favor of private ownership of guns and both were defenders of freedom even though they were bleeding heart liberals. What we 'GOP bashers' are fighting for is a party that will fight for us. Is that too much to ask?

Huh if that was true Goldwater wouldn't have had such a stinging deafeat in 1964.

" Huh if that was true Goldwater wouldn't have had such a stinging deafeat in 1964."

What about Goldwater's loss disproves what I said? Did we not get a huge tax cut under Kennedy? How about this statement from a leading Dem in the '60's?

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."

-- Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (1911-1978, D-MN), in "Know Your Lawmakers,"_Guns_magazine, February 1960, p.6
