Ironic - as she said, if her grandfather, the Republican Party's Presidential candidate in 1964, were alive today in 2012, he wouldn't recognize the GOP, because he believed in liberty and personal freedom - and today's GOP does not.

Glad she's heading up the delegation.
Her grandfather was a great republican.
Back when it meant something to be republican.
I have often wished I lived in those days.

Reagan had just been re-elected when I was born.
And I hope you are a dirty old man by the time "old assed" is used anywhere near me

Since then, we've had Corporatist Theocrats

And it's maybe 10 years before it reads that way in the history books. Of course it will start out with "They were the last of their era...". And softball it from there. a few decades later Rove and his crew will take their natural appearance, making Bernie Madoff look honest.
   Well I'm off to the Boss' 10 am lecture. have a great day!

Status: offline 		The parties do this flip flop over history. In the 1920s Woodrow Wilson brought in some strange policies - one that no blacks could serve in federal government because as a people they could never be trusted. His party brought back from ashes the Ku Klux Klan - yes he was a Democrat. DO NOT MAKE PARALLELS between that party and the one existing today. I was amazed that in the last election the whole "Joe the Plumber" common man BS the Republicans were trying to sell in a great departure from when they were the one stop shopping party for big business a mere 8 years previous.

(Footnote: Facts on Woodrow Wilson, the settling of America, even the cultural myth of Helen Keller are found in the Book LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME by Lowell - an amazing book about little told aspects of American history that we completely fail to teach in school. This is NOT a liberal or conservative book, it looks at the money/business end of making textbooks for public schools. )

I would agree with Goldwater, but disagree vociferously that Nixon was a republican in that same sense.
