Buchanan says he's best hope for Reform Party
JULIA SILVERMAN
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
Sunday, December 12, 1999
In Arkansas for the second time in a month, presidential hopeful Pat
Buchanan told the Arkansas Reform Party convention on Saturday in North
Little Rock that he is the dark-horse candidate who can legitimize a national
third party in the next millennium.
This fall, Buchanan, a conservative best known for his appearances on the
Washington-based television talk show Crossfire, announced his defection
from the GOP to join the Reform Party, founded by Texas billionaire Ross
Perot.
Buchanan is the only high-profile declared Reform Party candidate for
president, although real estate mogul Donald Trump has mused publicly
about running for president under the party's banner. The party's highest
elected official, Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, has denied rumors that he is
considering a run.
"You're not getting a choice if you have Bush and Gore," he told the 50 or so
Reform Party stalwarts who attended the 9 a.m. Saturday meeting at the
Ramada Inn. "They stand for the same things. They are both from new world
order, globalist parties."
The trademark fiery rhetoric that won him oratorical honors -- if not the
popular vote -- at the Republican straw poll in Ames, Iowa, during the
summer was on full display Saturday.
Buchanan took shots at the obvious targets, from Republican front-runner
George W. Bush ("Did you hear the one about George W.? He walked into a
think tank the other day and almost drowned") to his once and maybe future
colleagues in the Washington press corps ("They don't know anything, those
pundits. God put them there for the amusement of others") to Al Gore
("How'd you like to debate the fellow who invented the Internet? Real genius
there").
But he also touched on a series of weightier matters. Buchanan praised anti-
World Trade Organization demonstrators who overran the streets of Seattle a
few weeks ago, and called for an end to trade relations with "communist
China."
He denounced American intervention in Kosovo, calling it "Mr. Clinton's war,
an illegal war against a country that did not ever attack Americans. ...
American troops should not be the troops of some imperial world order."
Instead, he suggested stationing those troops along the United States-
Mexico border. And in agriculture-dependent Arkansas, where poultry, rice,
soybeans and cotton are still kings, Buchanan drew sustained applause by
lamenting the plight of farmers.
"We're losing our farmers," he said. "The prices they are getting for their
commodities don't equal the price of production."
He also took on social issues, pledging if elected that among his first acts
would be to shutter the U.S. Department of Education and the National
Endowment for the Arts and "fumigate the buildings." And as the nation's
new chief law enforcement officer, Buchanan said his first words to his
predecessor would be: "Mr. Clinton, you have the right to remain silent."
Responding to questions after his speech, Buchanan assured his audience
that he would appoint only Supreme Court justices with proven anti-abortion
records and put an end to political donations from corporations and lobbyist
groups.
When he had finished speaking, Reform Party members clustered around
Buchanan, thrusting copies of his book, A Republic, Not an Empire, at him
for signatures and handing him manila envelopes stuffed with "reading
material for the plane."
"You're a good American," one man told Buchanan. The Reform Party has
between 5,000 and 10,000 registered members in Arkansas, said Steve
Bennett of Maumelle, who was elected the state party's vice president at the
convention Saturday. He did not think to invite Ventura or Trump to
Saturday's gathering, Bennett said, although little-known presidential
hopeful
Charles Collins of Forsyth, Ga., did address the crowd, echoing many of
Buchanan's themes.
After Buchanan's departure, conventioneers elected every Reform Party
member his campaign recommended to serve as delegates to the party's
August convention in Long Beach, Calif., or to hold state office. Allan
Kitterman of Springdale was elected chairman of the Arkansas Reform Party
and Bennett was elected vice president. Margaret Buchanan Roberts of
Oakland will serve as secretary and Peggy Gullick of Maumelle as treasurer.
Jeff Weeks of Conway, Steve Mattia of Mountainburg and Timothy Miller of
Conway were selected as the state's national committee members.
Miller, Mattia, John Verser of Greers Ferry and Dale Wyatt of Pine Bluff were
elected as district delegates, and Charlene Hardcastle and Billy Deeter, both
of Little Rock, and Kitterman were chosen as at-large delegates.
