Its amazing what a splinter is going on right now on the right. I really think we can thank Bush for that; a freespender who devalued the dollar and put us in an unenviable military predicament which we wont extract from for a long time. An odd turn of events..
I confess to having a soft spot in my head when it comes to Buchanan. Maybe it's because I find his voice sort of hypnotic. I realize he and I would never see eye to eye regarding some of his views regarding the US place in the world, although I don't find him apologetic to be American like most Democrats seem to be.
I don't understand his outspoken hatred for Israel.
I couldn't support Buchanan when he ran for President on the Reform ticket. I do think he did the nation a greeat service in practically destroying that party as a national entity. Maybe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he did have a life threatening health issue when that campaign should have been rolling. Perhaps Perot would have also garnered only 1% of the vote if he had run that year. Still, it was Buchanan that did the deed. For that we can be grateful.
Exactly. Bush's Orwellian 'compassionate conservative' may have won the election but it sold out. Conservatives had always been 'compassionate', but now it was redefined as a slightly lighter version of big-government liberalism. Bush squandered Reagan's legacy, big time.
'Compassion' to Bush equals amnesty for law-breakers. Compassion and emotion at the expense of the rule-of-law.
Are you a dims and msm apologist? non of what you said ever was true.
Whether you like Pat or not, he is right on this issue.
...and Giuliani for alienating the factions of the base not alienated by Bush.
Until the Republicans realize that Reaganism wins and President/Presidential candidate must unify the entire base, they are going to keep losing elections.
