Why is Ted Cruz's campaign studying a long-lost book about Barry Goldwater?

Reagan, Palin and Cheney was/are serial adulterous atheists bent on worshiping themselves like la Rand???? I doubt it. Want a RESPECTABLE and far more brilliant libertarian theoretician, try Ludwig von Mises who believed in God and told la Rand at a Young Americans for Freedom fundraiser on his 75th birthday: So you are the silly woman who believes you can have freedom without God! and then expanded on the subject in a voice loud enough to be heard by all attendees over then next fifteen minutes until the mighty Rand fled the room and the movement in tears.

Whittaker Chambers also read her out of the movement attacking her literary style as able to be summed up as "To a gas chamber, GO!"

Then there are Nathaniel and his ex-wife Barbara Branden or Murray Rothbard whom, though still an atheist or agnostic, was read out of the Randian inner circle and banished to the outer darkness for marrying an Episcopalian.

Rand was a real charmer. She was a talented writer, an even more talented seller of Atlas Shrugged but not much of a human being. She also endorsed in an absolute shrieking issue of the Ayn Rand Letter Gerald Ford over Ronaldus Maximus solely on the basis that Ford was a pro-abort and that Ronaldus Maximus had become a pro-lifer. That caused her to gargle sulfuric acid and spit some at Reagan. BTW, Cheney was not only Bush the Younger's VPOTUS. Previously he had been Feckless Ford's Chief of Staff. Also not the standard y which actual conservatives are judged. It appears that his wife Lynn partially makes up for her husband's shortcomings by writing "Telling the Truth" a non-fiction book of genius about the willful and traditional dishonesty of the left radicals at the outset of Slick Willie's Lie-athon in the White House. We should have elected her POTUS. If you don't believe me, get and read a copy of her book.

So be it but not to conservatives. Are you Birthers now claiming that your concept of what NBC means also is required of Senate candidates? That would certainly come as a surprise to many Senators over the last couple of centuries. No court has approved that eccentricity either. BTW, Goldwater, apparently your hero, was born in the Arizona Territory and NOT in the United States. Does that disqualify him from anything? Does the fact that BMG was nominated for POTUS mean that, on that score alone, he was lacking in integrity? America wants to know!

It is looking increasingly like Sen. Cruz won’t need to worry about Being Goldwater, since he may meet his Waterloo in Iowa.

LOL!

Cruz was EXACTLY like Nelson Rockefeller at the 64 convention!

“Mr. NELSON ROCKEFELLER (Former Republican Governor, New York): During this year, I have crisscrossed this nation fighting to keep the Republican Party, the party of all the people…
(Soundbite of cheering)
…and warning of the extremist threat and dangers of a party…
Unidentified Group: We want Barry! We want Barry! “

Cruz must be hoping some future President will get him appointed VP. The stupidity is stunning.
