Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

Daily reminder that Clinton was a Goldwater Girl. She's never been anything but a class traitor.
In the context of my post wouldn't that make her a bit ahead of her time, considering she was raised in a politically conservative Illinois family?
I mean by all means get triggered by Hillary Clinton because she lives rent free in your head but realistically Hillary had nothing to do with this post, and in this context being a "Goldwater girl" isn't a negative, especially when you remember that we're taking about the 60's here.
Down voted by milquetoast libs
I'm just confused about why Clinton was even brought up. I also don't see how she's a class traitor when she was always wealthy. If she is a class traitor, wouldn't that be a good thing?
It’s completely off topic to bring up Hillary - she hasn’t even been in politics for 7-8 years now or so.
It’s time to move on. You can find a new woman to pillory. Somebody else can live rent free in your head.
