Your question is more valid than most here think, and it is an apt one.
If true patriot conservatives like Barry Goldwater and yes even Ronald Reagan (although he gets a lot of credit for things beyond his doing, but whatever), Anyway, if THEY could see what is happening to the Republican party today - they would roll over in their graves.
If a Barry Goldwater Republican existed today, America would be a much better place. Sadly, there are none.
