Our choice, last fall, was between an angry 73 year old with a legislative record far from consistently conservative, who nominated as his running mate a know-nothing religious extremist; on the other side was an appealing, thoughtful man who--for a brief shining moment--seemed to be more than the sum of his ideological parts.
If I had to vote all over again, I'd pull the same lever. Maybe I'm obtuse. Or maybe I just haven't yet entirely given up on the old audacity of hope.

Or maybe you're just a punk who lives off your daddy's reputation.
Buckley is clearly an educated moron.
Buckley: You ARE obtuse. And anyone who votes for a baby-murderer is evil. Go away somewhere and enjoy your millions.
Ditto.
All the folks who had 401Ks now have change.
So Sarah Palin is a “know-nothing religious extremist”?
Chris has gone off the cliff. They’ve probably got his father Bill Buckley lashed down so he can’t spin.
Disgusting.
If Bill were still alive he would demand a paternity test.
That’s nice,Chrisse.
Then you are still an idiot
Naw, you’re not obtuse....but you can work your way UP to obtuse.
an appealing, thoughtful man who--for a brief shining moment--seemed to be more than the sum of his ideological parts.What moment was this?
Obviously.
If I had to vote all over again, I'd pull the same lever. Maybe I'm obtuse.
Christopher Buckley is bring disrepute upon his family name. William F. is rolling over in his grave.
Or maybe I just haven't yet entirely given up on the old audacity of hope.
Buckley: “Maybe I’m obtuse.”
Yeah, maybe so.
I agree neither choice was exactly a good one, but one would have to be extremely obtuse to ignore the OBVIOUS signs of Obama’s political philosophy. There were only two reasonable courses of action for conservatives: sit it out or vote McCain. You don’t vote for a socialist because you have problem voting for a RINO moderate, Christopher!
Why is Forbes publishing the musings of this anti-capitalist jackass?
“If I had to vote all over again, I’d pull the same lever.”
Then you aren’t obtuse, you’re stupid. The truth has been laid bare and you still are unwilling to accept it. You can’t even see the difference between a “legislative record far from consistently conservative” to the far left socialist now in the White House. - And you’d do it again - Stupid is as stupid does.
BTW, I equate “sitting it out” with voting third party. Any of the above (third party, sitting it out, or vote McCain) would have been more honorable than a vote for a charismatic socialist hellbent on destroying everything America stands for!
Buckley is full of it, or full of himself would be more accurate. Anyone with two remaining, functioning synapses left to rub together knows that this administration is intent on destroying America, sooner, rather than later.
