Some around here -- the "real conservatives," ya know? -- are demanding somebody short of Pat. Some "in your face" stuff that would turn off most of the swing votes AND some of the other conservatives.
Please identify the passage in Buchanan's 92 speech that you found outrageous. This will help Freepers understand your liberalism, as you point out specifically the sentiments in that speech that you disagree with.

Oh I see, better to be "pure" than win the election, better to be "better than" and 100% "right" than work with those of lessor moral standards :-)
Yeah, let's get get excited about a chance to "tell off America". Let's get some "morally superior" sermonizer and tell the American people just how much we despise and look down on them and then, I suppose, they'll feel so ashamed and humiliated they will all magically change into "good" people that the "pure conservatives" can stand.
What a great idea. NOT
