Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Buchanan Blasts "Conspiracy" of Two Party Political System
Monday, July 03, 2000
Pat Buchanan, conservative firebrand and likely US presidential nominee of
the Reform Party, argued Sunday for a spot in televised presidential debates,
currently restricted to the two major parties.
The two-party formula for debate offers US voters little choice, Buchanan
said.
"The presidential debate commission is basically a little collusive
conspiracy between the two major parties in power, Republicans and
Democrats," he said on CNN's Late Edition.
The debates, which begin in October "are going to decide the election,"
according to Buchanan.
In his remarks on the dominance of the two major parties, Buchanan, who left
the Republican Party last fall, sounded similar to Green Party candidate
Ralph Nader. "We've got a one-party establishment in Washington, Republicans
are one half of it, Democrats the other half," Buchanan said.
"We're into giving the American people an authentic choice of a candidate who
genuinely believes in small government, in getting our troops out of these
wars in the Balkans that both major parties support," he added.
Buchanan, 61, said he could win if he was given a spot on the debates and
media coverage.
"The majority of Americans support me on immigration, the majority of
Americans didn't want NAFTA, a majority of Americans didn't want this rotten
trade deal with communist China that gives away the store and gets us nothing
in return but missiles pointed at our country," he said.
Buchanan seems certain to be given the Reform Party nod at its convention in
Long Beach, California on August 10-13, after Texas magnate Ross Perot
announced June 30 that he would not seek the nomination this year.
Perot founded the Reform Party in 1992 after winning 19 percent of the vote
as an independent candidate for president -- the best showing by a candidate
outside the Democratic or Republican parties since 1912.
In 1996, Perot won eight percent of the vote.
Buchanan's candidacy for the November 2000 race is opposed by Perot loyalists
in the Reform Party. They accuse Buchanan, who is more conservative than
Perot on social issues, of splitting the party and orchestrating a takeover
of state parties by his own followers.
Observers have said Nader's candidacy is likely to weaken Gore's chances by
taking votes from the left, while Buchanan is likely to draw far-right votes
from Bush.
A Newsweek poll of registered voters out Monday found that in a four-way
presidential contest the competition between the presumptive Democratic and
Republican nominees would be very tight. For the Republicans, Texas Governor
George W. Bush would win 41 percent, while likely Democratic presidential
candidate Vice President Al Gore would win 40 percent.
Nadar had the support of six percent of those polled and Buchanan just two
percent.

A vote for Bush or Gore is a vote to continue Clinton policies!
A vote for Buchanan is a vote to continue America!
Therefore a vote for Gore or Bush is a wasted vote for America!
Don't waste your vote! Vote for Patrick Buchanan!
Today, candor compels us to admit that our vaunted two-party system is a
snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation. Our two parties have become
nothing but two wings of the same bird of prey...
Patrick Buchanan
