You certainly couldn't be referring to the same Goldwater who couldn't convince more than 1 in 3 Americans to vote for him. Compared to him, Bush is a political savant.
I'm referring to the man who almost single-handedly resurrected conservatism after decades of federal Democrat control, and who (most historians concede) ran a hopeless 1964 campaign against the formidable memory of JFK, and not against the "charismatic" presence of Lyndon Johnson.
I'm referring to the same Goldwater who virtually any thinking and honest conservative will admit put conservatism back on the political stage for the first time in the 20th century.
It's simply dishonest to assert otherwise.
Please list GWB's lasting legacies to conservatism:

Suckapee is a pig. I can barley stomach McCain. I don’t think I could’ve voted for Huckaduck, even to stop OsmamaObama.
There were liberal RINOs 40 years ago. And long before that. Ever hear of the “progressive” wing?
Of course. You must have missed my last 7,234 rants against Progressives and their running dog lackeys who brought us all the misery and war of the 20th century.
Barry Goldwater was an Episcopal, and back when those people were still Christian they were Republican stalwarts.
Screw the Cubs. Screw the Socks.
>>>I think you are talking about the Holy Rollers.
Kind of, yes.
I’m not remotely against religion (I come from 300 years of American Protestants), but I’m vehemently opposed to the Religionist attempt to takeover the GOP and conservatism.
You must Huckabee’s rotund wife. I’m sorry I insulted your husband.
Meanwhile before the “Reps die on the vine” the rats win every seat cause you split the vote.
Huckabee is an loon but so was Goldwater. Any nutcase that believed in UFOs should never have held statewide office let alone run on a major party ticket.
