Draggingtree Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 : Why conservatism still needs a political conscience informed by nature. By David Corbin and Matt Parks JULY 28, 2014 The last Republican presidential candidate to win California was George H.W. Bush, back in 1988. Last week, George Will suggested that a new sort of “Goldwater 2.0” conservatism, represented by the state’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Neel Kashkari, might at least color the state purple and force Democrats to fight, once again, for its 55 electoral college votes. What is Goldwater 2.0? A mixture of an immigrant upbringing, a job at Goldman Sachs, a first-hand view of bailing out banks ‘too big to fail’ while working under Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, a non-threatening pro-choice and pro-same sex marriage social libertarianism, and apparently, an orientation in Will’s words toward “discerning silver linings on black clouds.” http://thefederalist.com/2014/07/28/goldwater-2-0/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
