Buchanan isnt much of a traditional conservative either; given his protectionism and isolationism and crackpot historical perspectives...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.

What I like about Pat.....he’s an independent thinker.

He tells it like it is and doesn’t apologize for it.

This is exactly why I am a conservative independent, not a republican.

Bush sr., Clinton, Bush jr., Clinton???..........the party line boys and girls. If you vote for a Rhino, your gonna get more of the same.

Only a true conservative can change the direction of this country.

Keep fishin from the same pond, gonna keep catchin the same of big mouth bass!!
