How many thousand times am I going to have to post this on the forum for people who know absolutely nothing about this subject? Well, here goes anyway.
Buchanan was attempting to join the Reform Party as per his agreement with RP leadership. He asked Fulani for her help and she agreed. He only told her that he would not ask for the Black vote then ignore them for the next four years if he got it. Fulani recognized this as different that the two main parties and agreed to support him. He did not agree to support her. You do know the difference? Right?
One thing that always amazes me with regard to those who have a problem with Fulani and the Reform Party, until Pat sought to join the party and use Fulani's position within the party, it never bothered anyone that she was there. Ross Perot's supporters never damned her the way you guys have. I doubt you ever cared when she was supporting Ross. What's up with that?
Fulani had run for president herself in 1990. Laugh if you will, but Fulani was astute enough to get her name on all 50 state's ballots. That's a huge undertaking and Pat needed her help to accomplish that for himself. As it is he and she facilitated getting his name on 49 state ballots.
As for going over and seeing Shapton, I'm sure no other candidate in history has every shaken the hand of someone they didn't care for in order to facilitate votes. Does this mean that Pat became a socialist? Does this mean that Pat was a supporter of Fulani or Sharpton? LOL I'm thinking you do.
Toward the end of Buchanan's campaign Fulani started to make demands on Pat. Pat severed their relationship. That's how much clout she had with Pat.
Now, what was it you were saying about howler monkeys wingnut and Stalinists? Those are some interesting comments from a guy who also critcizes me with regard to credibility when not one single point you made made sense or had any connection to reailty.
Well if this is your story, I'd say you're sucking on a hind tit (a little farmer lingo there).
But let's say that the story is the truth (chortle, snuffle, guffaw) then what Buchanan was doing was being pragmatic.
But let Bush engage in the same sort of pragmatism and he gets savaged by the wingnuts who considered Pats Pas de Deux with Fulani as something completely unremarkable.
As Haley Barbour says, I was born at night but not last night.
