A sparkling exchange with a very successful liberal Republican, who, unlike some other liberal Republicans, backed his party's presidential candidate in 1964. Messrs. Buckley and Chafee address policy issues (taxation, federal subsidies) and also intra-party relations. WFB: "Suppose you were to run for President, and somebody started calling you a fascist. Presumably, you are no more a fascist than Senator Goldwater is, but are we up against here something which suggests the special difficulty of the Republican Party ... because of the excesses which the opposition feels free to use? ..." JC: "I agree with you that the Republicans just cannot spend their time chopping up Republicans, and I think this so-called eleventh commandment that they adopted out there in California, which was that a Republican shall not say an evil word about another Republican, is something we've just got to have...." WFB: "Well, what about an evil Republican? What do you say about him?" JC: "I find that rather a contradiction in terms. I haven't yet found an evil Republican."
