I was not born until 1965, so I missed out on the Goldwater campaign :( The recent defeat of the illegal amnesty bill may be a turning point of power away from the media crafted sound bite to the more well informed Internet connected citizens!

can see a day when all the Americas, North and South, will be linked in a mighty system-a system in which the errors and misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one in a rising tide of prosperity and interdependence. We know that the misunderstandings of centuries are not to be wiped away in a day or wiped away in an hour. But we pledge, we pledge, that human sympathy-what our neighbors to the south call an attitude of simpatico--no less than enlightened self'-interest will be our guide.

this is from Goldwater's speech accepting presidential nomination in ' 64. It almost looks like the fix was in that long ago.
