Ah, OK. I guess it's just funny then that you've never mentioned him or his positions/ideas in the last seven years on the board before. Probably just keeping it all to yourself for some reason I guess.

Oh so I don't know the guy? What are you, some kind of detective?

I remember watching him alla time on Crossfire - prolly starting in the late 80's. He used to take leaves of absences to run for preznit every 4 years then come back.

I especially remember him chiming in about the Bush/Gore Florida election.... when he said that there was no possible way that so many people intended to vote for him in some Jewish community, and that the ballots were all messed up.

So what are you trying to say here, Toad? That because all your snooping around for something I've said about him turns up nothing, therefore I don't know the guy?

I guess you're wrong.

.....and drifting waaaaaaaay off topic.

Again I just think it's awfully odd that after agreeing with those tons of things you've never, ever mentioned one of them here in the last seven years.

But a Bush slam brings out an instant "attaboy".

Just sayin'.

Just sayin' nothin'.

"It's just somehow so beautiful to see you guys fawning over something Pat said."

"Ah, OK. I guess it's just funny then..."

"Again I just think it's awfully odd that..."

What a wonderful insight into your thoughts. I'm so glad that you decided to share them, even if you had to pull them outta yer arse.

Do you actually have anything to say about Buchanan's position here?

btw, this is by far not the first time he's slammed Bush, so I don't know why you get the idea that a Bush slam from him brings out an "instant attaboy." Some of us know how to restrain ourselves and besides.... there's just too much to choose from these days - from Pat or otherwise. ;)

Yes, because staunch conservative George W. Bush has killed socialism once and for all by creating...   the largest federal budget in the history of civilization.  :eek:

No.  Because that would entail that they (and their party and their president) are dead wrong on this issue.  When you are wrong it's much easier to change the subject than to deal with the facts.

Amen.

But be careful though, Funked. When pinko commie socialist tree-hugging hippies like me (phhht) agree with something, that 'something' must be wrong and swiftly attacked. Sorta like when a Goldwater era Republican (of all things!) says something that these modern-day GOP whippersnappers don't like - it's off with his head.

But I know you can handle yourself - not worried about that. And you make a great point:

Has there in fact been any discussion here at all about Buchanan's thoughts in the post that Sandman made?

Goose egg. There's probably a reason for that, and you've no doubt nailed why.

I didn't d/l the video (gawd dialup sux), but I have thought Buchanon was was sharp cookie for a long time. I would'nt vote for him, but he knows his foreign relations.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Maybe it was the way the article was written, or the Matthew character in the interview part.  It's pretty obvious they're both working with hearsay, far as statements they make.  Has Buchanen offered any insightful knowledge here where he's justified saying what he does?

Let's take Matthew saying something like "the war was supposed to be a cakewalk."  Now com...mon!!!  I don't remember hearing anything like that the whole time this war has been going on.  

Anyway, from reading something like that, it just makes the rest of the article nonsense, or at least non-objective.  Neocons?  Is this mainstream language?

Does a disservice to Buchanan being in a news article like that.  Wouldn't be surprised if he's upset.  Does him more harm than good, in my opinion.  Though I don't keep up with Buchanan's thoughts, it's the way the article is presented that I don't like, and by association...yes it does give the appearance or impression to me that Buchanan's words in the article are more finger pointing than substance.  Guess that's politics, or journalism or what have you.  Darn near conpiratorial sounding.  Because of that, I disagree Buchanan is spot on.

Uhm..... this wasn't an article - it was an interview. And Mathews is a staple of MSNBC.

Here - watch it.

Then come back and discuss it, k?

I didn't watch the video Nash.  Only read the article part, with excerpts of the interview.  Not having watched the video I can't comment on Buchanan's thoughts as they may have been presented in that medium.  Was refering to the article.  The written part of the interview, which was the interview I suppose.  Excerpts are misleading usually though, true, and may be taken out of context sometimes.

Okay.... what you saw wasn't an article, it was transcript. Of an interview.
