Barry M. Goldwater

Abstract: ( 9 pp.) What makes a conservative? Parents? Upbringing? Past experiences, Or the ability to put all of those things together, be aware of history, and come to some personal conclusions? In the case of Arizona Senator and basic maverick, Barry M. Goldwater (1909 - 1998), we would have to say all of the above. In his personal and political memoirs, With No Apologies, published in 1979, Mr. Goldwater observed that his run for the presidency in 1964"was like trying to stand up in a hammock." He said he knew that his chances of winning were slim and contended, that his fellow Republicans cost him any chance he might have had during the battle for the Republican nomination. And in our description above did we mention, Goldwater as a facilitator of tact? Bibliography lists 7 sources - 1 visual. BBgldwtr.doc
