Only 1643 out of several hundred thousand freepers participated. That's probably close to the total number of racists, third-party wackos, xenophobes, Bush-haters and DU trolls who are registered on FR. And they probably voted dozens of times each.
The real test was the election of 2000 when Buchanan ran an anti-immigrant campaign (remember the meatball?) and got less than 1/4th of one percent of the vote.
Bush won. Get over it.
I detest Pat Buchanan. I have my reasons. I voted for Bush. Illegal migration was not the reason.

Better be careful who you insult, Bay.

New FR Poll: Conservative Mandate Means We Hold Their Feet to the Fire!
November 3, 2004 | Jim Robinson
Does the Bush victory and the Republican gains in the House, Senate, and State Houses signal a clear mandate for a more conservative governance? In other words, should we hold their feet to the fire for strong national defense, smaller government, reduced taxes, conservative judges and defense of traditional American values?

If you feel as strongly about this as I do, then you will agree that there's no time like the present to get started. I believe that GWB will continue doing a great job on national defense and the war, but, as we all know, we also need to start shifting some resources to beefing up our border security. How do we do this?

So, who did you vote for President on November 2nd, bayourod? Knowing you, you probably voted for President Vicente Fox. Or did you cast your vote for Raul Yzaguirre, the Grand Wizard of La Raza?
I voted for Bush. I live in L.A. and am sick of illegals sucking up my tax dollars. This makes me a racist? If you are all for illegal immigration because you want to keep a steady flow of cheap labor, that is a bit racist.
