Entry: Ron Paul's Pyrrhic Defeat Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/ron_pauls_pyrrhic_defeat#26396 Post contents: I'm delighted that Grant does not buy the "movement conservative" fiction that Goldwater triumphed despite his defeat because of Reagan's victory, the establishment of the Heritage Foundation, or the appearance of David Brooks and Bill Kristol among the contributors to the New York Times editorial section. Goldwater never triumphed since the Republican Party and the conservative movement ran to make their peace with an expanding welfare state after the Arizona senator got pummeled in the 1964 presidential race. The one who triumphed after being defeated was McGovern, whose party has now moved to the left of him. Sent at: 2008 09 07
