It didn’t work in 1964, did it?

Worked in 1980, didn't it?

Indeed it did. I was only 19 yrs. old in 1964 and too young to vote, young and dumb I still knew that Johnson would be a disaster for this country and still to this day, some times engage in a little day dreaming about how much better off we would be, had Goldwater won that election.

The good Lord raised this mighty Republic to be a home for the brave and to flourish as the land of the free-not to stagnate in the swampland of collectivism, not to cringe before the bully of communism.

Barry Goldwater 1964.
