I think Sandy answered your question Toad with the 1st sentence of his post:
"I used to think Pat Buchanan was a bit of a nutburger. Hell, he probably still his and he's had his share of provocative statements."
Seems like some of you are getting carried away. It is in fact possible to agree with something somebody says without agreeing with everything he says. But then, that's the type of thinking that seems to give some people a great deal of difficulty.
Sorta like being able to support the troops, but not the war.
As far as what Sandy posted, I agree with Buchanen completely. Do I agree with everything he's ever said? No. Do I think he'd make a good President? No.
That being said.... true conservatives like Buchanan make me all nostalgiac for the olden days of like..... 15 years ago, when the Republican party was in fact sane.
