Reply #20: Pat Buchanan is not a sober conservative [View All]

Buchanan is a racist and an anti-Semite. His differences with Bush are that Bush is too moderate for him.

McCain is more the kind of person I have in mind.

This is also where the DLC might be useful. In a sense, this is a sober conservative group that already exists in the Democatic Party. Of course, like many DUers, I resent the arrogance of Al From and Bruce Reed and bristle every time they try to tell progressives to sit down, shut up and support centrists and expect nothing in return. However, if somebody in the DLC can try to work with the Democratic Party's base instead of calling it a bunch of nasty names while making an appeal to consevatives disenchanted with the yuppie fascist dominance of the GOP, we might be able to bury the so-called "neoconservative" movement with a stake through its heart in 2004.
