That doesn't make much sense because RWR on the front flap of Goldwater's 1979 book "With No Apologies" gives him a glowing review.

Besides, the abortion issue is miniscule compared to economy and defense.

For the one's that put abortion over all other issues, like freedom and restoring our constitution (which would kick Roe back to the states where it belongs), what can I say?

So far the flavor is that he's now irrelevent?

Or are you just to young to know better?

I wish. The main problem with Goldwater was his essential pessimism. I never got the feeling that he was optimistic about the future of America in the way that Reagan was. Optimistic convervatives win elections. Pessimists don't.
