I wasn’t around in 1964, as far as voting. I wasn’t old enough to vote until 1969. I remember my father talking to my grandfather about Goldwater, and he was pretty jazzed up over him. I have had quite a bit of respect for Goldwater, but then I saw him pull some rather strange things in his elder years.
Thanks for your post. I know I already responded, but I hadn’t commented on the Goldwater portion of it, and I wanted to.
