I've heard many a liberal cite Pat Buchanan as a conservative that has been against the Iraq war, not holding back with his criticism towards GW & Co.

Here's a bit of his blunt commentary in a recent interview:

Rumsfeld’s query has been answered: we are creating more enemies than we are killing.

Without more American troops and more years of fighting, we will not win this war. We can only stave off defeat.


However, don't make the mistake of believing Pat has switched sides -- he hasn't. When asked on Bill Maher's HBO show whether or not he'd vote for Bush, Pat grimaced and stuttered, not quite answering the question. Yet, it appeared obvious that he was NOT going to vote for Kerry. Here’s the exchange:

MAHER: Does that mean you're voting for Bush?

BUCHANAN: Well, you know, if it comes down to a choice between Kerry, who, you know, really doesn't seem to – he doesn't take a strong stand against the president's policy, like your other guest, Howard Dean, did. I don't know why you would vote for John Kerry, even if you're like Pat Buchanan and you believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. On immigration, I think we ought to defend our borders. I think we ought to stop sending those jobs overseas and keep them home. And I think we ought to stop launching imperial wars. [applause]

MAHER: All right.

BUCHANAN: But why vote for John Kerry when he agrees with George Bush on all three of them?

MAHER: I'll take that as a yes. [laughter]



Buchanan has always loved the attention received by being the maverick in the GOP. To his credit, he doesn't simply tow the party line. But when you scratch the surface and cut through the subtleties, he's a fairly devout Republican at the end of the day. When he inevitably pulls the lever for Bush come November, his vote will 100% cancel out any Kerry vote -- and that's all that matters. He can quibble and nit-pick all he wants about how GW shouldn't have done this or that, the proof is in the voting booth.

Finally, if you need any more convincing, go to his web site. Some of the links listed under "Our Favorites" are such lovely folks as Ann Coulter, Robert Novak, Oliver North, and Phyllis Schlafly. Need I say more?
