1. That's the thing about brother Pat, every now and then he tells a powerful truth..

Yes you have to wade through a lot of bigotry and stupidity but you might recall that Pat supported the Jewish voters who were confused by the butterfly ballot.

He's definitely a textbook loose cannon in the political sense.

3. He is also against NAFTA.

[Selatius]

7. He is bigoted, but even he didn't advocate economic suicide. nt

[Romulox]

17. The politicians who sacrificed the Rust Belt, both Dem and Rep, are their own kind of bigot.

:shrug:

8. Yeah, and they say that Hitler made the trains run on time.

[saras]

9. No, it was Mussolini who was said to - and it was a lie, the logs they kept prove it

[MilesColtrane]

10. Woosh!

[Fumesucker]

12. If he's bashing Bush, I'm not going to disagree with him..

Just because I find some other things he says distasteful.

One thing about Buchanan, I think he says what he genuinely thinks far more often than most people in the political world.

[MilesColtrane]

13. He's right about this, but the fact that anyone takes him seriously enough...

to allow him a continuing national platform is a crime that far overshadows his occasional grudging handshake with reality.

2. Buchanan concedes the obvious

It's the 800 pound gorilla in the room. There's just no getting around it.

4. Good to see this,

Over the years he has, occasionally demonstrated his intelligence.

[Ter]

5. I wouldn't use the word "admits"

Pat always hated Bush and most of his policies. He has said numerous times he held his nose while voting for him, and if it weren't for abortion, he would have voted third party. Pat is a paleo-con, Bush is a neo-con. Two different kinds of conservatives.

14. Thanks for that instructive observation.

Ya learn something every day if ya pay attention.

6. That's bad news.

Whenever Pat Buchanan sounds reasonable, we're fucked.

11. Pat's getting ready for another run I'm betting...

We need a new Dictator in Chimp...like we need a freakin' hole in the head.

[SpiralHawk]

15. Republicons

what can you say? They really did and are trashing America...

[eppur_se_muova]

16. Even a blind nut can find a squirrel now and then. nt

[Romulox]

18. Pat is a "paleocon". He's ALWAYS hated Bush. nt

[Bigmack]

19. If it's true, I can't thank Dumbya enough!

We can't afford to be a Superpower with an Empire any longer.

Now... if we only could get the rest of the power elite to understand that we can't afford it.

And the chickenhawks, too.

[FiveGoodMen]

20. The next empire won't be a country, it will be a corporation

Probably already is.
