I’m not passing judgement good or bad, just pointing out that Hunter, *uckabee, and Ron Paul are all Buchananites in their own rights.
The point is simply that Hunter will throw his support to fellow Buchananite *uckabee at the convention, and NOT a “CFR candidate” like Thompson or Romney.

Its certainly possibly, Huckabee and Buchanan care a lot more about social issues like abortion then Thompson seems to. Buchanan and Hunter would have some similar views on trade though Hunter does not support nearly as high of tarriffs as Buchanan would. However, Hunter would strongly disagree with Buchanan’s foreign policy and I doubt he would endorse Huckabee since foreign policy is one of Huckabee’s weaknesses. Hunter would also disagree with Huckabee’s record of fiscal liberalism, but would probably support the platform that Huckabee is running on now.

I will admit that I initially supported Buchanan, however, untill it became clear that he was somewhat anti-semitic and would not support Israel. Other than that I really liked a lot of what he had to say.
