From an article entitled, Why McCain Won't Get Our Vote :

There always have been a glimmer of hope that someday, someone would "race through the gate" full steam in Goldwater style. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened, and the Republican brand has been tarnished in a shameless effort to gain votes and appeal to the lowest emotion, fear. Nothing about McCain, except for maybe a uniform, compares to the same ideology of what Goldwater stood for as a politician. The McCain/Palin plan is to appear diverse and inclusive, using women and minorities to push an agenda that makes us all financially vulnerable, fearful, and less safe.

When you see the candidate's in political ads, you can't help but be reminded of the 1964 presidential campaign of Johnson/Goldwater, the 'origin of spin', that twists the truth and obscures what really matters. Nothing about the Republican ticket offers the hope America needs to regain it's standing in the world, that's why we're going to support Barack Obama. I think that Obama has shown his ability and integrity.

After the last eight years, there's a lot of clean up do. Roll up your sleeves, Senators Obama and Biden, and we Goldwaters will roll ours up with you.

The author of the article, CC Goldwater, is the granddaughter of the late Senator Barry Goldwater, Republican, from Senator John McCain's home state of Arizona.

Karen Hatter, I like this story. It's good stuff.  Goes to show that right wing doesn't mean stupid.  Good for her speaking out.

¡Si si, CC!

This is not the party of Lincoln.  This is not the party of T.R.  At best, it is the party of Nixon.
