There is a rub there too however. I never hear Buchanan complaining about other lobbying groups and their ‘influence’ on our policies. He seems to single out Israel. What about CAIR?
I doubt that there has been nearly the same kind of influence to date from CAIR as there has been from Israel. My guess about Pat is that he is a fairly consistent America firster, and is bothered by any group or organization which can directly influence our nation or government from outside. He has said in the past that Israel is a friend of the US and we should come to their aid in their defense. I don't doubt for a minute that if the Islam lobby became so powerful that we began to go against that position he would say much the same about them.
There is a reason that NBC and MSNBC have Pat as their token conservative and it’s because he can be depended on to stick his finger in the eye of our party whenever he gets the chance.
Perhaps that is what they think. I doubt that they have him on because of his talent and brains, though he seems to have both. As for damage he causes, I don't see any. He presents a real conservative, pro-America position, unlike the hacks put forward by FoxNews. Sure, they certainly read the GOP talking points, but unfortunately that party has long since stopped even pretending to represent real conservative values and is doing nobody any good any more. All they do is run "conservatives" like McCain and Giuliani and help the likes of Obama get elected.
Well, you will get no argument from me about the state of the republican party today. That’s why we lost. It would have been a even greater loss, if Palin had not been on the ticket. Many of us would not have even bothered to vote.
Buchanan is not my cup of tea. Sorry. Neither is Huckabee. They both have played the role of spoiler in our national elections and I don’t cotton to that either.
Enjoyed our back and forth though. Have a nice evening.
