Goldwater was the last conservative true to his ideals.... He would rather loose than compromise his beliefs..... Regan took his beliefs and tossed them out the window to get a victory for the Republicans all the while stating that he was a Goldwater conservative....NOT he was in bed with the religious right, in which this Goldwater warns about..... but to quote the does a man gain if he conquers the world and loses his soul... the republicans are lost in the wilderness now... and it won't be Sarah Palin that will pull them out.... WWWFBD ..... What would W. F. Buckley Do with this party... the intellectuals are all gone....
