Please understand that I am not running "against" George Bush.

Maybe if you say it a few more times we'll believe it.

[Ex-Dem]

I'm betting that GFY doesn't stand for Good For You :).

[Torie]

I just picked the most appropriate color. Sort of a cross between red and yellow.

[CommandoFrank]

I just checked out your web site... and the answers to your four questions are no, no, no and no. I quess that means our brief relationship is over.

Bye bye, ta ta...

You are incorrect, sir, and I am in personal possession, as is the New Hampshire Gazette, of 300 pages of US government documents that prove my reporting and, in fact, discredit Mr. Conason. The culprit was AP, which badly misreported the story and sent it around the world without apology. I am still at war with them over the facts and their underlying truth, and I will not rest until the facts have been publicly established. Therefore, I trust you will be open-minded in the days ahead.

[Revolting cat!]

Well, I admit "Buchanan For President" sounds kinda catchy, doesn't it?!

[EllaMinnow]

Sort of a cross between red and yellow.

Bears repeating.

I'm voting in the GOP caucuses in Michigan.

Why should I vote for YOU? What is your platform. Specifically.

1. Do you think there is too little, the right amount, or too much gun control? What changed in gun laws, if any, would you make as president.

2. What would your plans be on Social Security and medicare.

3. What is your view on the Patriot Act

4. What role should the UN have in international affairs.

5. What is your view on the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Law, and what changed if any would you make.

6. What changed from Bush would you have in foreign policy?

If you want my vote, earn it.

[Slings and Arrows]

OK, maybe he is a creative synthesis of a Green and a Paleo, sort of like a papaya (green on the outside, and orange on the inside). You know, until you made that post I was in favor of genetically-modified foods! Now I'm going to have nightmares about a Ralph Nader-Pat Buchanan hybrid stalking the Produce Department at Food Lion!

[Peace will be here soon]

I have three questions for you, sir. Where do you stand on the issue of abortion ? And how would you address the illegal immigration problem this country is facing? And finally , do you support the H1B and L1 visa programs ?

[gooleyman]

Some political scientists and journalists believe the party will virtually implode if we win big next fall across the board and strengthen the mandate in the Senate

So why then would you want to help them by running against George Bush. I re-remind you, it was Pat Buchanan (sp?) who gave the Dems the idea to use the "read my lips" ammo. And it was one of the Democrats who first used Willie Horton against Dukakis.

If the RAT party is about to implode, Shut up and enjoy it. I sure will.

Come back in 2008 and beat the crap out of Hellary. That's assuming you're for real. You say the same things the DemocRATS say. If it walks like a, talks like a, quacks like a, then it is a...

7. What role should the feds have in Education.

[Republican Challenger]

Since when are new ideas ludicrous? At one point, the US and the Constitution were new ideas. Remember?

[jwalsh07]

My references include former Secretary of Defense William Cohen

Wonderful, now if you can add Madeline Halfbright and Sandy Berger you will have managed to win the three stooges to your side.

[Cultural Jihad]

Oh, so you're making a quixotic run just to make your view points better known, and be given a public forum in which to express them. An opportunity that running for President would give you, an opportunity denied in your current position.

There ought to be a law against greedy liberal journalists running for office just to sell their magazine articles to corporate interests!

[cksharks]

NO!!!!!

[woerm]

At this juncture,
absent *large* sums of cash,

I doubt anyone could mount a cognizant, functional challenge.

I have been disgusted with the TSA gestapo, the Patriot act in general and George the Duce's cut and run on the Assualt weapons ban,

folks I talk to are disgusted by the spending, the regulation mills not stopping and the medi-scare boondogle.

I'm hacked that the 'energy bill' was packed with pork and no substantive methods to improve our long term energy indendence prospects.

Right now I think the only prospect to improvement is to fire all the dimwits that claim to be republican and voted to the Patriot act TSA gestapo and have allowed all the rino's to run the national party in Congress.

I'm about to run against my misrep since he couldn't find time to read the patriot act but didn't have problem with the house shipping the 'plastic gun ban' off to the senate.

As far as I am concerned the republic may have to be saved in congress since the folks at 1600 penzy just don't seem to care .

yes I sent a letter stating as much to George the duce via a misrep that meets w/ him regulary, but he was to busy campaining for $ to answer.

Good luck,
If you are running against George the duce you will need it.

He good, very good at what he does.
