Rich Herchenreder remember the Goldwater for President bumper sticker on the cross beam of the basement ceiling? I havent come across Goldwaters name since I left that place. This from Wikipedia: In 1964, he [Goldwater] fought and won a bitterly contested, multi-candidate race for the Republican Partys presidential nomination. His main rival was New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, whom he defeated by a narrow margin in the bitterly fought California primary. [kind of puts this quote in the meme into context] His nomination was opposed by liberal Republicans, who thought Goldwaters demand for rollback, defeat of the Soviet Union, would foment a nuclear war. Goldwater lost to President Lyndon Johnson by a massive landslide, pulling down the GOP, which lost many seats in both houses of Congress. Goldwater carried only his home state and five Deep South states.
