Question: HRC as "Goldwater Republican"

[janx]

There have been some recent accusations about Hillary Rodham Clinton's being a Goldwater Republican. Personally, I like the Goldwater idea, but that's not pertinent here.

How old was Hillary Rodham Clinton when Goldwater ran for president?

[DURHAM D]

1. Round 18. n/t

3. I think you're right--how old is she now?

?

6. 58 or 59. n/t

2. I think she was in High School. Didn't she become a liberal when

she went to college?

[janx]

4. High school is very young...

I don't know how she developed politically.

5. She would have been in high school or early college

too young to vote at that time

7. She was a "Goldwater Girl". But then again Laura Bush .

campaigned for Gene McCarthy too.

Snip

Government should help people, not support bureaucracy
I was against people who came up with big government programs that were more supportive of bureaucracies than they were actually helpful to people. I’ve been on this kick 25 years. I am proud I was a Goldwater girl. My beliefs changed over time. I always thought the role of citizen was as important in our democracy as running for office.

Unsnip.

8. Choosing between Johnson and Goldwater was not a

difficult decision in 1964.
