The Goldwater Talking Point (gearing up for Rick Perry) ........>>>Carter’s campaign eventually had to drop the “he’s too radical” approach and instead do what the left is now doing to Rick Perry — claiming Reagan actually did nothing to help people in California when he was Governor. They tried to destroy the idea of California as a paradise, which in 1980 was a place millions were flocking to in search of work, just as people are now going to Texas.

It did not work. Neither the Goldwater narrative nor the “he sucked as Governor” narrative worked for Carter because, quite simply, the public had given up on him.

The greatest lesson to take away now is that the media is going to again fixate on Goldwater from 1964 and Kerry from 2004, and they will probably mostly ignore the most historically relevant election points — Carter in 1980 and George H. W. Bush in 1992.

History doesn’t repeat itself. The media does.<<<

It's ILLEGAL now to NOT take your Social Security!! CHANGE this law and I think a lot of well to do people would gladly give up their SS...especially if they didn't serve in the military, or even if they did, they still want to sacrifice.

Then give them a MEDAL or a SIGNED Certificate to acknowledge their sacrifice.
