Thing with Buchanan is that his views, thanks to the left-center media, get to be the face of conservatism. If we don't make it clear that he's well outside of the mainstream of the Right, the conservative movement will be politically neutralized.

I'm not sure how to respond to you. I know you feel Buchanan's views are objectionable. I don't.

Despite the validity of Buchanan's points, his views have been marginalized to the point that I don't think anyone is going to confuse them with the Republicans. It is this very point that I lamented last year. The Republicans disagree with views that simply cannot be refuted. For me that is a problem.
