AuH2O,
Not My Cup Of
Conservative Tea
He
voted against the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1954.
He
opposed
the Civil
Rights Act of 1964
This
pleased southern Democrats,
and Goldwater was the first Republican to win the electoral votes of
all of the Deep South states. However, Goldwater's vote on the Civil
Rights Act proved damaging
to
his presidential
campaign in
1964 and
probably caused he landslide defeat
in
the election.
When
Republicans ask, as they often do, why the vast majority of black
voters reject the Party of Lincoln, they need to look no further than
the Goldwater-Nixon southern strategy.
Barry
never realized the contradiction in one of his more famous quotes
“Extremism
in the defense of liberty is no vice”.
