Mr. Buchanan was one of the few conservatives to directly challenge the Great Society Republicanism prevalent throughout the George W. Bush administration. He opposed No Child Left Behind, the Medicare prescription-drug benefit, runaway spending, amnesty for illegal aliens, economic globalization and the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). He argues that the GOP establishment had lost its ideological way, abandoning principle in favor of power. Niccolo Machiavelli trumped Ronald Reagan.

Pat Buchanan is the "house conservative" over at CNN where he fits the same role as Alan Colmes when he was Sean Hannity's punching bag over at Fox. But hey, CNN's money is green isn't it, Pat?
