Absolutely.
Of course I could be wrong about the term limits, but if memory serves me well, I am not.
I had the honor of having dinner with Pat on one occasion and we got to talking about Iraq and Iran. Pat told me quite plainly that he would pull out of Iraq and use the monetary savings to bribe the Iranian government not to develop atomic weapons.
I argued that we should continue fighting in Iraq and encourage revolution in Iran. He had no receptivity to such approaches.
The idea that we would give the Iranian clerical government millions of dollars in bribes to "not build nuclear weapons" is an audacious interpretation of the Iranian government's basis for global goodwill.
Here again as others have noticed it seems a suspicious blindspot for the transparent reality that only Israel would get wiped of the map in such a scenario so 'why not be realist about it?' Why is Israel such a fantastic trash receptacle for neo-isolationists like Pat? It looks suspiciously anti-semitic.
I am pretty fed up with such bogus reasoning and Pat is at the forefront of such thinking. He has now taken to engaging in very public attacks on a President at war. He should reap what he has now sown.
Bob Dull single handedly stopped HilaryCare, what has Pukeannon ever done. Bob Dull is a hero who also charged a machine gun nest. What has Puke ever done for anyone other than himself?
Pray for W and Our Troops
Hillary care was stopped by protesters in Seattle. She came to this town in a celebratory mood to speak before a fundraiser, and was roundly booed by FReepers and others. It was the end of her attempt at visibly influencing politics during her hubbys rain...rein... errr .....reign. She complained about it in a book, and to a media acolyte.
And a media figure with a market.
A very small, but very profitable, market.
Pat may be on the Soros payroll.
I htink that the perfect Democratic candidate for 2008 is Pat Buchanan. I am sure he can moderate his anti abortion rhetoric and emphasize his anti Semitism.
Chris Matthews is loon today, tomorrow he will be main stream..
Could be Pat sees the writing on the wall..
The White RINO House does not.. Unless Bush is a democrat mole..
Terrorists threaten everybody, illegal and legal aliens threaten ONLY REPUBLICANS...
AND republicans don't CARE.... Republicans don't even seem to care about massive democrat voter fraud.. Whats up with that?..

Mission Statement - 8/26/06 Today we begin a grassroots online organization established to encourage Pat Buchanan to run for the GOP Presidential Nomination in 2008. It is time to take the Republican Party back from elites and liberal special interests on immigration and domestic policies at home and from the Neocons who have hijacked our international and Middle East foreign policy.
We are not endorsed by or affiliated with Pat Buchanan and are an unincorporated organization and not a PAC or 527. We don't want your money only your help to convince Pat that these perilous times for our nation, heritage and the Republic require a dedicated effort to restore our nation back to domestic and foreign policies that put the our citizens first and the corporate special interests and politicians second. We believe third party efforts are a waste of time, talent and resources and the conservative rank and file GOP voters are the last great hope to restore the American Republic and vision of our Patriot Founding Fathers. Patrick J. Buchanan is the man to lead this final effort to save and restore the Republic and return personal liberty, individual responsibility and traditional conservative government back to our nation.
Nonsense! In his farewell address Washington exhorted his countrymen to "avoid foreign entanglements", this is what Pat and his (few) supporters on this forum desire for the USA, despite the exhortations of the "cosmpolitans" (i.e Wilsonians) on these boards. In fact, up until 1898 (when the USA kicked itself out of an Eden of sorts by succumbing to empire-building) we existed quite happily as Pat would want us to.
