Right, the Zionist Occupied Government thing, for both wars, that has nothing to do with Jews, just Zionists. Thanks for clarifying that.

Actually you're simplifying things to make PB's position as radical/anti-semetic as possible (and I'll admit PB's given you some pretty good ammo over the years), but even "The Forward" is advising abandoning that kind of tactic, and I'll leave my arguements regarding that issue for another time as I appreciate the time you took to reply to my points, as well as your civility.

I'm not feigning offense, I think Pats a bigot who has no place in the Republican party. Needless to say he thinks he has no place in the Republican party either.

I don't think Buchanan's a bigot, but he certainly can be as delicate as a bull in a china shop, and his brawling style of arguement is a bad sell in today's society. But he has a better sense of humor than most pundits, is quicker on his feet than most pundits, has insider WH experience most pundits don't, and perhaps most importantly.....is loyal to and fights bare knuckles for the issues that matter to social conservatives.

Pat knows he has no place in the GOP, but he's still a voice that plays well on many topics with social conservatives ( who last time I checked...Bush can't win without).

Now even if he had not carpet bombed his bridges back to the party in 2000, I would not want PB on this years stage (it's time to move forward), but tossing a bone to the social conservatives might have been a smart move. Rick Santorum might have been a fine choice IMO, even at the risk of losing 1% of the gay vote.

Maybe Pat will come back.

Hopefully not, sometimes it's best to part ways.

I'm not simplifying things, Pat is, but I think I'll leave the thread at that. Pat's not a Republican, he's not really a politician, he's a rabble rouser, a wonderful trait for a media type. And Pat's good in that role, where the totality of one's beliefs aren't an issue.

Gosh, Pat knows he has no place in the GOP, leave out the knows he and I agree with you and alberta on the same thread, odd.
