Confessions of a Republican in a 1960's ad

As much as I'd love to see Bernie win the race, this is something snopes had a good go at: http://www.snopes.com/goldwater-girl/

I've done some pretty stupid things in my time - particularly in my youth - and I like to think I've learned from them.

OK, some of them.

Cancer Man's right. Anybody who supported Goldwater was an idiot.

Guess who supported him? HRC.

Sure she says she's changed, but she was on the board of directors for Wal-Mart. She took many six-figure speaking opportunities for Wall Street, she promoted the disastrous "jail every black man" legislation Bill enacted.

The problem with Washington is that Republicans and Democrats essentially saw eye-to-eye for many years as they both shifted to self-serving "neo-liberal" parties and she's right in the middle of that. That's a big part of the reason politics is blowing up in America right now, there hasn't been a REAL choice in decades. The only difference has been on social issues and even then it's a pretty narrow range of social issues.

As much as she pretends to have outgrown it, she's still the good little Republican girl her parents loved. It's just the politics around her that have shifted to the right.
