BTW, Hilary's reported first campaign was for Barry Goldwater..... In a message dated 3/9/2016 12:03:45 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I was in the Army then but I proudly voted for Senator Goldwater and am still voting for him. --- because you're a warmongering zionist fool. Goldwater was born in _Phoenix_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona) , in what was then the _Arizona Territory_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Territory) , the son of Baron M. Goldwater and his wife, Hattie Josephine ("JoJo") Williams. His father's family had founded _Goldwater's_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater's) , the largest _department store_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_store) in Phoenix.[_citation needed_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed) ] Goldwater's paternal grandfather, Michel Goldwasser, a _Polish Jew_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland) , was born in 1821 in Poland, from which he emigrated to London following the _Revolutions of 1848_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848) . Soon after arriving in London, he anglicized his name from "Goldwasser" to "Goldwater". Michel married Sarah Nathan, a member of a _Jewish English_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_England) family, in the _Great Synagogue of London_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Synagogue_of_London) ._[7]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-7) _[8]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-8) Goldwater won support from _religious conservatives_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_conservative) but in his final term voted consistently to uphold legalized abortion and, in 1981, gave a speech on how he was angry about the bullying of American politicians by religious organizations, and would "fight them every step of the way"._[71]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-71) _[72]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-72) _[73]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-73) Goldwater also disagreed with the Reagan administration on certain aspects of foreign policy (for example, he opposed the decision to _mine Nicaraguan harbors_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Nicaragua#Nicaragua_1981) ). Goldwater disliked _Richard M. Nixon_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_M._Nixon) of California (whom he later called "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life")._[59]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-test-59) After Goldwater again became a senator, he urged Nixon to resign at the height of the_Watergate_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate) scandal, warning that fewer than ten senators would vote against conviction if Nixon were impeached by the House of Representatives._[60]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGoldberg1995282-60) Goldwater was the first Republican to win the electoral votes of all of the Deep South states (_South Carolina_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina) , _Georgia_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state)) , _Alabama_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama) , _Mississippi_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi) and _Louisiana_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana) ) since _Reconstruction_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_era_of_the_United_States) _[46]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-Bernard_Cosman_1966-46) (although Dwight Eisenhower did carry Louisiana in 1956). However, Goldwater's vote on the Civil Rights Act proved devastating to his campaign everywhere outside the South (besides Dixie, Goldwater won only in Arizona, his home state), contributing to his landslide defeat in 1964. Although Goldwater was not as important in the _American conservative_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States) movement as _Ronald Reagan_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan) after 1965, he shaped and redefined the movement from the late 1950s to 1964. Arizona Senator _John McCain_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain) , who had succeeded Goldwater in the Senate in 1987, summed up Goldwater's legacy, "He transformed the Republican Party from an Eastern elitist organization to the breeding ground for the election of Ronald Reagan."_[61]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-61) Columnist _George Will_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Will) remarked after the _1980 Presidential election_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1980) that it took 16 years to count the votes from 1964 and Goldwater won._[62]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-62) The Republican Party recovered from the 1964 election debacle, picking up 47 seats in the _House of Representatives_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives) in the _1966 mid-term election_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._House_election,_1966) . Further Republican successes ensued, including Goldwater's return to the Senate in 1968. In January of that year, Goldwater wrote an article in the _National Review_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Review) "affirming that he [was] not against liberals, that liberals are needed as a counterweight to conservatism, and that he had in mind a fine liberal like _Max Lerner_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Lerner) "._[63]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-63) Goldwater was a strong supporter of the environment. He explained his position in 1969: I feel very definitely that the [Nixon] administration is absolutely correct in cracking down on companies and corporations and municipalities that continue to pollute the nation's air and water. While I am a great believer in the free competitive enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment. To this end, it is my belief that when pollution is found, it should be halted at the source, even if this requires stringent government action against important segments of our national economy._[64]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-64) Throughout the 1970s, as the conservative wing under Reagan gained control of the party, Goldwater concentrated on his Senate duties, especially in military affairs. He played little part in the election or administration of _Richard Nixon_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon) , but he helped force Nixon's resignation in 1974._[65]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-65) In 1976 he helped block Rockefeller's renomination as vice president. When Reagan challenged Ford for the presidential nomination in 1976, Goldwater endorsed Ford, looking for consensus rather than conservative idealism. As one historian notes, "The Arizonan had lost much of his zest for battle."_[66]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-66) _[67]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-67) _[68]_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Goldwater#cite_note-68) In 1979, when President Carter normalized relations with _Communist China_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Republic_of_China) , Goldwater and some other senators sued him in the _Supreme Court_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States) , arguing that the president could not terminate the _Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-American_Mutual_Defense_Treaty) with _Republic of China_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China) (_Taiwan_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan) ) without the approval of _Congress_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_of_the_United_States) . The case, _Goldwater v. Carter_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater_v._Carter) , was dismissed by the court as a _political question_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_question) .
