Pat Buchanan is worse by far and away. He is the ultimate ego maniac and has NEVER EVER gotten over the fact that the Republican Party did not follow him over a cliff. Thus, he continues on with the attitude of punishing Republicans for not following him or doing EXACTLY what he would do. I was quite frankly shocked that Buchanan supported Bush during the last election.

Hey, that sounds just like a lot of people who post right here on FR, doesn't it? You know, the Unappeasables and the Malcontents, the ones who are going to "punish" us in 2006 and 2008 (blackmail again, eh?) if we don't do exactly as they say.

Well, in Buchanan's "endorsement" of George W. Bush, he wrote:

Iraq is the worst strategic blunder in our lifetime. And for it, George W. Bush, his War Cabinet, and the neoconservatives who plotted and planned this war for a decade bear full responsibility.

Then Buchanan wrote this about George W. Bush:

And the returns from his mid-life conversion to neoconservatism are now in:

• A guerrilla war in Iraq is dividing and bleeding America with no end in sight. It carries the potential for chaos, civil war, and the dissolution of that country.

• Balkanization of America and the looming bankruptcy of California as poverty and crime rates soar from an annual invasion of indigent illegals is forcing native-born Californians to flee the state for the first time since gold was found at Sutter’s Mill.

• A fiscal deficit of 4 percent of GDP and merchandise trade deficit of 6 percent of GDP have produced a falling dollar, the highest level of foreign indebtedness in U.S. history, and the loss of one of every six manufacturing jobs since Bush took office.

So it wasn't what you'd call a "ringing endorsement". He just said Kerry was worse.
