What the Republican party is today is not what he created in 1964. He didn't create Reagan, Reagan was the better man.

Goldwater didn't create the Republican Party in 1964. It was created 110 years earlier in 1854, by socially-conservative Christians who were morally opposed to slavery and felt the Whigs and Dems weren't doing anything about it.

I didn't know Goldwater ran on a platform of “gay rights” and same-sex “marriage” in 1964. He endorsed those things only late in life after he found out that supporting such nonsense could get him some good press (for the first time in his career).
The McCain clique is using the same issue to get back in good standing with the media. McCain basked in the media glow as a “maverick” Republican for years until he ended up as Obama’s campaign opponent. Then, the media turned on him like the vipers they are. Now that the election is over, McCain and his lame daughter and cronies want the media's support again. Supporting the homo agenda and attacking religious conservatives is a sure ticket to get the leftist media drooling for you.

Goldwater would be/is rolling over in his grave. I missed the part where Goldwater said he was for changing the definitions of words to appease your opponents.
Is that what you are saying Goldwater stood for?

“Goldwater would be/is rolling over in his grave. “
He is, over big government. Free from the senility and influences of his liberal wife that began to besiege his mortal brain I doubt he would give a crap that gays can’t “marry”.

Maybe so, however, it is the Republican Party that Reagan designed, and he was successful where Goldwater was not.

I didn't support Goldwater's Republican party. That was a monumental disaster. I supported Reagan's.
