What a self-serving a-hole!
Wrong. Bush was already toast by the time the convention came around. Buchanan's speech was the best I've heard from a Republican in years, and one that hasn't been matched since.
In Where the Right Went Wrong, released late last week, Buchanan calls the invasion of Iraq "the greatest strategic blunder in 40 years, a mistake more costly than Vietnam.
Go Pat Go!
"the disintegration of the culture and a Wilsonian foreign policy that means war ad infinitum," he said."
I think we can lay the disintegration of the culture squarely on the Rat party and it's supporters. As far as "...a Wilsonian foreign policy that means war ad infinitum". I don't see the connection to Wilson at all. Wilson never had to deal with crazed hordes of Jihadists with nothing else to do in their pathetic existense except murder innocents to further their misquided ideology. As for war adfinitum, I think he is right in that it won't be over until the last Jihadist is worm food.
The Sunday Seattle Times ran this story also. Pat is a dork. If a Republican is not lock step with him, then he is open game for attacks from Pat.
Buchanan is like AlGore. His 15 minutes of fame has passed.
My thoughts exactly. Pat should stick to discusssing the lack of BLTs in Iraq and save the bookselling until after the eleciton.
We really didn't need this right now. AMAZING!
I am ashamed of myself for ever having respect for this guy.
From Drudge:
On the Conservative Case for Bush:"George W. Bush is a God-fearing and good man....He kept his commitment to cut taxes....He has revived an economy sinking into recession when he took office. He has chosen fine judges. His willingness to accept international abuse by rejecting the Kyoto Protocol and the International Criminal Court show him to be a patriot who will not yield national sovereignty." (251)
"If George Bush is reelected and the Senate that confirms new justices remains Republican, there is the chance...the curtain may be brought down on the court's fifty-year run as battering ram of social revolution." (252)
"There is simply nothing that [Kerry-led Democrat] party offers to the Right." (252)
So, it sounds like a mixed bag, but the media will emphasize the negative stuff against Pres. Bush.
For the most part, I think Buchanan is a bit out there, on Israel, free trade, and a number of other issues...but I do think he has been proven right about what he said in 1992 regarding the culture war.
I don't think it'll hurt Bush this time though.
In part because Keyes is running (who doesn't bash Bush) and Keyes is far better than Buchanan on most the issues. Keyes will divert all the attention that Buchanan may have received. So stop bashing Keyes.
One more time, the anti-semite tries to take down a Republican president.What a self-serving a-hole!
Predictable. Why is it everyone who refuses to bend over and grab their ankles for the GOP is considered an anti-Semitic, self-serving a-hole?
Pat Buchanan has been irrelevant for decades.
Who is the publisher who is putting out this worthless trash? I hope that I don't own their stock.
Buchanan needs so much attention that he was willing to help elect Democrat presidents. He should shut up. It's OVER.
Buchanan wanted to just sit back and do nothing while Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and all the other Muslim radical counties continued to develop chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.
I really can't stand people who call Iraq a mistake, yet had no clue as to how the US was supposed to stop the rising terror networks of the 1990s.
If the US had not gone after Iraq (which also took out Libya), then American-hating Arab Muslim counties would have considered the US to be weak and intimidated in the wake of 9/11.
President Bush did the absolute correct thing by taking out Iraq. Not only did it send a message, it gave us a strategic position next-door to Iran.
