Like virtually all far right activists in 1964, Huss saw the Goldwater campaign as a hugely consequential tipping point and inspiring sign for the future of the GOP. It was the first time Republicans had nominated a ‘true conservative” to be their standard bearer. Huss worked tirelessly from the spring of 1964 into November to get his man into office. He even produced and performed on a recording of an unintentionally hilarious Goldwater campaign song written by his friend and fellow evangelical preacher Jim Bisel, Portland’s leading Christian ventriloquist. “Let us through strength preserve the peace for which our forefathers died/ Come let us stand with our boys in Vietnam who have tried.”
