"I just don't think that the stature is there at this point," Flake said of his colleague Cruz. Says the Tea Party turncoat.

Is that Amb. Stevens in the last picture? The others are from Syria with “moderate” jihadists who turned out to be isis. If the last one was taken on the same trip.. very troubling.

How, on earth, is McCain qualified to make such a remark? McCAin is no Goldwater. He's a latter-day
Vito Marcantonio.

I remember the “Au H2O” bumper stickers - even then it had to be explained to the liberals....

Cruz is no Barry Goldwater, McCain and Flake say Because Cruz has a very good chance of winning?

I have to wonder if the security detail he hires for those sorts of trips have any loyalty to him what so ever, or if they just say to themselves ‘screw it, he’s got the money’. Then again, perhaps he uses foreign security who are all to happy to see a U.S. senator meeting with terrorists.

In 1964 I recall Young Americans for Freedom selling AuH2O buttons & a soft drink called “Gold Water: the right drink for the conservative taste”.
Old joke: “The Democrats told me that if I voted for Goldwater there would be race riots & the war in Vietnam would escalate. I voted for him & sure enough that’s exactly what happened!”

At one time Flake was a fairly decent and conservative congressman before he got pulled into McCain's orbit. This is the main problem of politicians like McCain: they not only provide bipartisan cover to screw up the country, but they capture and corrupt otherwise promising political leaders and either neuter them or turn them into part of the problem.
Lindsey Graham is another such example.

I’m not even 60 and I remember Goldwater well. He was the only presidential candidate for whom my father put on a bumper sticker. Dad liked Reagan as well, but no bumper sticker. It could’ve been because he knew Reagan was going to win our state in a landslide, 64% in 1980, 65% in 1984.

Yes, Flako has been co-opted into the McShame/McConnell DC gang. So thankful McCornyn wasn’t able to co-opt my Sen Ted Cruz into that mess.

Exactly....I doubt most voters could care less about Goldwater...McCain is a dinosaur and the GOPe must be desperate...very desperate
