They got Barry Goldwater late in life.
btw, the original Kevin McCarthy version of that flick is a allegory for the communists' "long march" through American institutions. I often feel like Kevin McCarthy at the end of the flick, frantically running, shouting at someone - anyone - to listen.
If you read this you will find “Barry” was pretty RINO’y/GOP-ey and squishy about alot of things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater
