It is a terrible shame about Goldwater. He married a young very liberal woman in his later years,and his aging mind was influenced immediately. It was so painful to watch this pioneer conservative turn liberal overnight with pro gay and other radical leftist statements. Mclaughlin was another sad case of conservative off the reservation for "poon tang". He was a former Priest that suddenly married a younger woman,and almost immediately began spouting non- conservative drivel. He is a male version of Eleanor Rodham Cliff now,except he is decidedly more feminine looking.
So THAT is what happened to McLaughlin? I had been wondering.
