Thanks, I should have remembered Nixon. I remember Goldwater and the conservatives getting wiped out in the 1964 election. I was very young at that time and did not understand much about politics and its consequences. But after the Carter administration, I had a political awakening and have been conservative ever since. I am hoping the younger people will have a similar experience and the conservative base will expand to include more of the younger generation.
I honestly don’t believe Romney can turn the low-info voters and the conservatives this time around. I’m looking for “any candidate” that can limit the size and extent of government intrusion into our lives, one that is unafraid to stand up and defend America and its constitution as written. Someone a lot more conservative than what the GOP is floating at this time.
It would be nice to see some new candidates and not one from the past political dynasties.
I am liking Cruz so far, but it’s early...
