Saddened by death of conservative icon and ex-Rep. Phil Crane (R-Ill.)last nite at 84. Proudly interviewed Phil in his last days in Congress
@johngizzi my recollection is that many movement conservatives supported him over Reagan. Am I misremembering?

@mattklewis@johngizzi The man many movement conservatives followed in the 80's was one other than John Gizzi himself -
@Telemachus111@johngizzi And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years

@mattklewis@johngizzi That's correct, although obvsly RR got support as the nominee. -
@justkarl@johngizzi yes. Just Googling it. Weyrich and Viguerie backed him in '79. And Ed Feulner was a Congressional aide to him. -
@mattklewis@johngizzi (And while not a "name," my Dad, who volunterred for Goldwater, was a fmr student of Crane's.) -
@justkarl@mattklewis@johngizzi My dad bought one of Goldwater's suicide door Lincolns :-)#ChildhoodMemories -
@HollyASwanson@mattklewis@johngizzi Nice. I think we have BG tie tack, possibly cufflinks, somewhere at the house. -
