I was told that if I voted for Goldwater, he'd send 50,000 troops to Vietnam. I did, he lost ... and America lost 58,226 brave troops killed or missing in action there.

That’s a Reagan quote, right? Goldwater defined consevatism (along with WFB), we need new de-RINOing.

The Grand Old party is in shambles...they used to call them “country-club” then “Rockefeller Republicans”,now they’re RINOs aka “socialists-lites”.
