"Were you paying attention in 1992--to PJB's convention speech? Wherein he predicted that illegal immigration, spurred by NAFTA, would be a crisis? Were you paying attention when he stated that NAFTA would NOT "create jobs"--but rather, reduce US factory employment AND impoverish the Mexicans?"Many people don't read what Buchanan wrote. They just read what others, who have also have not read Buchanan, say Buchanan wrote.
LOL! That's right - most people who have an opinion about Buchanan have never read any of his thousands of columns and op-ed articles, have never seen any of his thousands of appearances on countless talkshows (including his own), blah, blah, blah.
The guy's opinions are well known, he has ably and assiduously promoted them and he has repeated his central theses quite often in widely-read publications and widely-watched news shows.
Guess what, bud?
A lot of people have listened to what he's said and disagreed with what he's said. A lot of people have read his opinions in their newspaper or magazine and disagreed with what he's written.
That's life.
