Another great column from our friends at WorldNetDaily.com - fyi GO PAT GO!!!!!!! Linda -------------------------------- From: "Loretti, Anthony J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Copies to: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date sent: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 13:48:36 -0500 Linda, Below is another excellent article from the boys at WorldNetDaily.com. The blatant GOP attempts to slander Pat and mischaracterize his book are transparent, not to mention dishonest and cowardly. These are the acts of desperate people, and I'll tell you why they are desperate: If Pat goes Reform party, he will most likely have a double-digit standing in the polls, right out of the gate. Then Pat gets the matching funds he needs to mount a full-scale national campaign, something he's never been able to do before. Give the voters a few months of daily exposure to Pitchfork Pat and anything is possible! Millions of disillusioned citizens who have never before voted (like myself), will begin to take an interest... And then? PAT BUCHANAN VS. BUSH/GORE - PRIME TIME TELEVISION DEBATES. Linda, if we get that far, anything can happen! NO ONE has EVER BEFORE had the potential of energizing masses of previously non-voting citizens like Pat can! This HUGE factor completely INVALIDATES the "election analysis" of all these talking heads that claim Pat can not win (are you listening Rush?). Pat can win!! Go Pat Go! Sincerely, Tony Loretti --------------- Jon E. Dougherty WorldNetDaily Exclusive Commentary © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com GOP fears Buchanan I suggested in a column a week or so ago that the "mainstream" Republican Party was fearful of Pat Buchanan's planned bolt from the "Big Tent" to the smaller, but certainly more energized, tent of the Reform Party. A story in Friday's Washington Post confirmed my suspicions. According to the Post, GOP presidential candidates and lackeys in the "conservative" press world are busy attacking Pat because he dared to suggest duplicity as a reason the U.S. entered World War II. The fact is he's probably right, but he never said the U.S. should not have fought W.W.II. Nevertheless, the indignation from Sen. John McCain and Elizabeth Dole -- talk about "retreads" -- is laughable not only because it's as reactionary as anything Democrats are used to pulling, but because it represents the fact that these people will grasp at anything to prevent Buchanan from "stealing" votes they consider theirs. Buchanan, who just released a new book questioning merely the timing of our entry into W.W.II -- not the morality of it -- is right to assume his candidacy worries not just the GOP mainstream but the Democrats as well. Al Gore is, in Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan's own words, unelectable, and Bush -- as far as millions of Americans can tell -- either doesn't stand for anything yet or continues to support Big Government foundations that his party used to systematically oppose. I guess the GOP feels that anything they can do to win is all right, even if it means lying their tails off to get into power. Gee -- and they claim not to be at all similar to Democrats. I think the real ire being vocalized by Republicans has more to do with a new poll, also released Friday. The poll shows that some 19 percent of registered voters would consider voting for Buchanan as a third party (presumably Reform) candidate. "Experts" like Rush Limbaugh have already tried to parse the meaning of this poll as insignificant -- naturally -- but they've had to do so by ignoring the fact that in 1992, when American voter dissatisfaction was at its highest in recent years, ol' "crazy" Ross Perot got 19 percent of the popular vote, after leading both "mainstream" candidates for most of the prior summer. Perot and "fringe element conservatives" were blamed for electing Clinton and not George Bush in 1992 rather than Bush's lying (about taxes), lackluster administration and his inability to solidify conservative support. Even after Dole's pitiful 1996 performance -- with no substantial vote count being taken from Republicans or Democrats by Perot -- Republican stalwarts continue to blame "us defectors" for setting the GOP up to lose again in 2000. And they call us paranoid and delusional. If I were a "mainstream party" candidate, I'd be worried about Pat Buchanan too -- as well as a number of other GOP and independent candidates. They're out there precisely because the two main political parties are morally bankrupt, ideologically challenged and aren't offering much new in the way of throwing off the yoke of an increasingly oppressive federal government. These GOP (and Democratic) stalwarts are just ticked off because fewer people are taking them at their word (repetitive lying has a way of withering support for a party). Unlike 99.99 percent of Americans who live outside the Washington beltway, Capitol Hill politicians don't have a clue how strong the anti-establishment movement has become. Let them discover it in November 2000. Until then, you GOP whiners, if you can't be right about what you're saying, then be quiet about it. Your ranting and raving against Buchanan and Co. is embarrassing to real conservatives, it's being viewed as grabbing at straws, and it makes you look more ridiculous than before -- when most of you were busy playing Bill Clinton's doormat. ----------- end ------------- Spread the word -- forward this email across the USA! ********************************************** Don't Miss Out - Join the BRIGADE Email List!
