If it's is a lie, then the source is there.

So, is it your habit to call people liars when you see something you don't like? Or do you just do that to protect the anointed one? In any case it is pathetic.

And don't forget Goldwater was pro-choice and prol glbtq rights. He said nearly twenty five years ago during the DADT debate "I don't care if a soldier is straight. I only care if he shoots straight."

In fact when he became more "liberal" in his old age wing nuts blamed her.

When Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor to SCOTUS The Moral Majority opposed her because she was nominally pro-choice and urged Christians to oppose her... Barry Goldwater said it's "time for Christians to kick Jerry Falwell in the ass."

25% of Republican voters will mark their ballots for Hillary if Trump is the R nominee. We Dems need to welcome the refugees.

Sanders will take all the votes he can get. He won't get many republican votes, nor will Hillary.

22. "The Third Way"
Sun Mar 20, 2016, 07:06 PM
Mar 2016

is nothing more or less than the horse-trading that is the chief mechanism of politics in a democracy. Lyndon Johnson called it "the art of the possible."

Bernie Sanders is no doubt a nice guy, but he's an idealogue. Idealogues leave messes behind them, from Savonarola to GWBush. That is not a desirable outcome of this election.

Can we hoist the bus up for her? BTW, what do you know about her political leanings? Or do we only care about her late husband's 40 or 50 year old opinions?

That would be Barry's "Peg". Yes?

So... in other words... if *Cruz* is the nominee, he ( Cruz) is even better than Hillary.

No *question* about it.

His first wife was a Goldwater girl. She died. His second wife may have been s Goldwater girl - she would have been on her thirties at the time - but a wick check on the Google didn't turn up anything. And they were married for only six years. For all we know she voted for Clinton the year she got married. This was an idiotic op.
