Pat Buchanan doesn't get it any more than the liberals do. George W never did and never has and never will run his campaign to appease ANYONE on any side. I know because I did continual research on George W as governor... he does not set policy according to polls or what might get him reelected... he really is one of those rare politicians tht does things he thinks will be good for the country he loves. I know that is a really hard concept to get your head around, but it is true, nonetheless... I know, cause I tried to prove otherwise for a number of years.
