Barry Goldwater, Jr. speaks about Congressman Ron Paul

chomsky is a duck sucking commie.

Barry Goldwater, Sr. was indeed a great man and did change the Republican Party for the better. Libertarian views are just not shared by mainstream America. I think Barry Goldwater, Jr. should have campaigned for Mitt Romney because he knew full well that Congressman Paul could not win the election. Romney needed help and many did not give it to him.

no way...you have to support your cause, or else it will never gain any attention. sticking to paul was the right thing

Goldwater, Jr. knew that Dr. Paul couldn't win. He said that on the news. He should have campaigned for Romney and then we would have won the election. I admire Dr. Paul but I am slightly more socially conservative and I feel that he gets too rapped up in conspiracy theories and as much as I am a constitutionalist, he puts the constitution before common sense, and that was not the intent of the founding fathers.

See, it's not about the party for people like Goldwater. Paul is not anything close to a modern-day republican--he's more like a libertarian. Going with Romney makes no sense unless all you care about is the party succeeding--which is a terrible philosophy anyway. Obama might be a blessing in disguise, because if republicans go back to Goldwater conservatism, and then take back Washington, good things should happen. They need to put aside social crap and build with strong free-market economics.
