Yopur end of the political spectrum is attractive to less than on half of one percent (<0.05%) of the American electorate.

What total nonsense. Sure, Buchanan only got that percentage of the vote, but a lot of that has to do with the current two party political system, the conditioning that has taken place over one hundred years, the scorning off the media that Buchanan was dealt in 1992, the "best of the two evils" crowd, the lack of coherent, intelligent discussion of policy issues in the media, etc.

It has very little to do with what people's true feelings are. In fact, I'm sure that more people, deep down, agree with Buchanan than Bush. It's just that the above factors, coupled with political correctness, have led the country in the wrong direction.

Arrant claptrap!

Pat Buchanan got 0.04% of the vote because he's a crypto-fascist populist paranoia pimp.

Buchanan thinks that too; that's why he keeps running.

You know what the definition of insanity is?

America has the government it wants. If you want something different, you're going to have to do a better job selling your ideas, 'cause right now, nobody's buying.
