While I am fiercely Independent, I agree with Llama Lee. As an Arizonan, who tends to be socially liberal & fiscally conservative, I think that Goldwater was a great humanitarian and wise person. He had the courage to stand up for his beliefs, even if I don't always agree with them, although if it did cost him an election. No selling out to the Religious Right, as the current GOP has done. He is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE, for separation of church & state, as our Founding Fathers intended.
