"Goldwater was defeated in 1964 after Democrat [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] used the fabricated [[Gulf of Tonkin]] incident to boost his reelection."  It's factual and enlightening.  Also, I wouldn't describe Goldwater as losing the leadership of the conservative movement.  The movement adopted him, not vice-versa.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:57, 14 January 2009 (EST)

:Exactly. In point of fact, Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Bill Bennett, George Deukmajian and Newt Gingrich all claimed to be carrying on Goldwater's fight and always credited him as being the titular conservative leader while he was alive. --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]_{<small><small>/Admin</small></small>}^{[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]} 22:03, 14 January 2009 (EST)

Goldwater was adopted as its leader just prior to the 1964 Republican Convention, due to his strong opposition to the Eastern, liberal wing, under Nelson Rockefeller's domination. --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]_{<small><small>/Admin</small></small>}^{[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]} 22:03, 14 January 2009 (EST)
