The funniest article I’ve seen in some time…

Meet the New Barry Goldwater
By Quin Hillyer
Published 5/30/2008 12:08:23 AM Many conservatives realistic enough to know there will never be “another Reagan” nevertheless wish at least for another Barry Goldwater. They don’t realize that we already have one. His name is John McCain.

What’s next on the agenda at the Spectator? Suggesting that President Bush and Paul Wolfowitz be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?

   Their comments on other politicians are equally odd. The article would have you believe Goldwater was anti-choice. However

If he were Reagan, he would copy some groundbreaking Republican’s ideas (in this case Goldwater’s) and just make them more political (i.e. not going to the TVA and saying there shouldn’t be a TVA), but advocating most of the same policies with regard to smaller government. As for me, I would take someone with the courage of his convictions, and the foresight, of Goldwater. Look at it this way, he produced Reagan, and Hillary, so…

   McCain doesn’t have the vision and the leadership qualities to be really significant either as a new Reagan or as a new Goldwater, I can’t really see him creating a new era for the republican party let alone for America
