Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree
I want ev'rybody to be free
But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater
Move in next door and mary my daughter
You must think I'm crazy !
I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba.

Compared to today's irresponsible and backward Republican, Goldwater was progressive.

Begging Americans to get involved since 1963.

That's a good ad. (Did they have a guy with a snorkel down there?)

I like that the saw got halfway through the country before the the announcer started talking.

To think Maine has anything to do with Florida is unconscionable.

That saw action was hilarious! I like the long pauses at 0:07 and 0:10. As if the saw hand was thinking:
"Do I keep going or do I stop? Do I keep going or do I stop? This is taking longer than I thought it would! But the director didn't yell "cut," I'll keep cutting."

Maine is to Florida what Alabama is to Georgia. Figure that one out, tourist.

Goldwater inspired the youth of the Ayn Rand followers(?). Early Tea Party. He had a flagpole at home in Arizona that raised the flag electrically at sunrise and lowered it at sunset.

He also had as a campaign slogan: "In your heart you know he's right", to which Johnson replied, "In your guts you know he's nuts".

Have any of you superior Seattle types checked out your local history? How about the real world outside your Liberal fog? In your home state?
