O. Bigfoot said, “I supported Pat Buchananâ€™s presidential campaign twice, but in his old age, heâ€™e become more and more isolationist.

Isolationism only works if your enemies stay at home and mind their own business. Something it has been proven, with deadly consequences, they simply will not do.”

hey, are you Iraqi or Iranian? b/c the last time i checked America’s been interfering in those countries for decades so it’s hard to tell from your message who should stay home and mind their own business.

Buchanan’s an anomaly. A right-wing conservative who actually (sometimes) makes sense. Either he’s schizo or one of the few righties who truly are “conservatives” and occasionally reason things out. If the latter is true, it’s too bad more of the right-wing are not like him. Another possibility is that Buchanan saw the need and has carved himself out a niche…

I’ve always found Buchanan to be a sensible voice on foreign policy, although he doesn’t talk about it very much. Although many of you probably wouldn’t even consider reading a book by him, I do recommend “Republic, Not an Empire”, a history and treatise on colonialism and intervention into other countries.

Since when did Buchanan become so pro-peace and anti-Bush all of a sudden? It must be his dementia kicking in….

Pat Buchanan, a bigot posing behind the guise of libertarianism and key architect of the Iraq=Israel’s war myth, or course is quick to write off ANY pro-war stance as misguided or skewed. Has CAP become so starved for ammunition against the Republican platform that they are stooping to use the arguments of the close-minded fanatic, Pat “Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free” Buchanan?

I guess that these scrappy stretch tactics are emblematic of the petty Democratic grovelling that we saw in the debate last night.

Sports commentary is much more difficult than political commentary.

See Limbaugh, Rush and Miller, Dennis…

Got kids or grandkids that visit the house?

Storing weapons and ammo under the bed is a real dangerous, idiotic thing to do.
You know that, don’t you?

You need to read some of his Nixonian Era stuff, dufus. How many of his books do you own?

Me? All of them.

Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” January 22, 2008 @ 12:55 pm

You own every Buchanan book?
No wonder you are so messed up.

Take a look at his platform when he ran under the “Reform Party” ticket. Plus his stances against every military action in the last 30 years.

Buchanan: McCain is â€˜Bush on steroids.

Does that mean he actually did make the chess team in high school ?

For the life of me I canâ€™t understand why MSNBC had the ESPN LOUDmouth Stephen A. Smith on air. Was Sharpton not available? Was Smith comparing the crossover dribbles of Bush and McCain?

Sports commentary is much more difficult than political commentary. If you don’t know what the heck your talking about on ESPN, they find someone who does pretty quickly.

All you have to do on cable “news” is repeat the same thing everyone else is saying.

Wow – I didnâ€™t realize it was a â€œfactâ€ that St. Al is such a party tool he didnâ€™t even get to pick his own running mate – the things I learn here!

Comment by Keltoi â€” January 22, 2008 @ 12:10 pm

Really? Like Cheney being sent out to find a veep?

Please, there’s no machine like the repig machine. don’t forget your cheif fool and tool, george bush. thanks for 9/11, repigs! You’ll never live that down, keltoi. 9/11, yours to carry for the rest of history. abject, utter failure.Now, watch the bush economy melt before your eyes.

LOSER.

Gorte didnâ€™t choose lieberman, the DLC did. Keltoi, fact-free as usual.

And heâ€™s the odds on favorite to win the repuke nomination.

Want another 9/11? Vote Republican, the only party that consistently fails to defend and protect America.

Bucky is spot on here, McCain would keep us in Iraq indefinitely, probably not blink an eye nuking Iran.

It seems a bit far-fetched to me that McCain would actually pick Lieberman as Veep. Sec of Def, maybe, but not Veep, for the same reason Edwards won’t be considered by Hill or Obama. There are very few second acts in the Big Game.

You mean â€œ1991,â€ gummitch. Not â€œ2001.â€ But you are otherwise correct. Buchanan (and Robert Novak) opposed Desert Storm back in the day.

Buchanan also opposed the US/NATO operations in Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s.
