Goldwater lost his marbles. You might want to quote him from his peak years, not his scattered autumn.
One of the quotes was from 1958...
What changed between 1958 and the 1980s was Roe v. Wade and Griswold v. Connecticut among other SC decisions that federalized moral issues that had always been the domain of the states. The US Constitution was shredded in the name of a phantom right to privacy, the commerce clause and other dubious claims made by liberal activist judges. The states have been rendered vassal welfare states despite all of Goldwater's warnings. So yes, I'll trade every GOP Senator for 40 that could argue as passionately as Barry did for what he believed in.
I mean, I hate that homo RINO Goldwater. Just like McCain, another failed bitter old man from Arizona. Better?
