Reply #7: Pat Buchanan

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

They guy's message is consistent but don't forget his gay-baiting culture war speech at the 1992 Repub Convention that almost singlehandedly helped Clinton win. He's a culture war baiter, and his main advantage over Bush is that he's honest about who he is. I'm not sure that I could ever vote for him even against Bush. Read the speech again:

Pat is very much right about the neocons and the wrongness of the Iraq War (I remember thinking over the last year that "Buchanan can't be in favor this, gee I wonder why he's not on the air at all these days? Must've been marginalized because he's not 'on message'"), and there are some very good articles in his American Conservative mag, which are basically all anti Iraq invasion and anti neocon from what I've seen.
