Fair's fair, Sinz; you answer my questions (re: Gingrich/Rove) over on the other thread and I'll be more than happy to answer yours here.

barker13: What were some of Buchanan’s predictions?

The appearance of change isn’t change. It’ll still be a rediculous religious dictatorship run by pathetic old men. The bigger problem I see is countries like Russia greeting Ahmadinejad with open arms and congratulating him on his victory. Birds of a feather stick together.

Sinz.

(*CHUCKLE*)

One can't help but notice that once one tears aside the snark... even YOU don't deny my basic premise. Indeed, you actually support my contention via writing, "Actually, Ron Paul wasn't too far off the mark on the big issues of the Iraq War and the economy."

As for Buchanan... regardless of whether you peg him as representing 1930's type thinking or 1830's thinking or whatever... (*SMILE*)... you don't claim his predictions have been wrong more often than not - which would be the counter to my assertion.

Anyway... (*SHRUG*)

barker13 sez: "Buchanan more often than not hits the nail on the head and his predictions are well worth paying attention to."

Buchanan represents the 1930s type of right-winger: Isolationist, nativist, with a streak of anti-Semitism (surreptitiously indulged). Examples:

ottovbvs: Actually, Ron Paul wasn't too far off the mark on the big issues of the Iraq War and the economy.

He had opposed the Iraq War; and he was one of just two Republican candidates for President in the 2008 primary season who said that the U.S. economy was in trouble. (The other one was Mike Huckabee.) All the others said that the U.S. economy was doing well--and that the GOP should be given credit for it.

Of course, a stopped clock is right twice a day, you know the routine. I could not abide Ron Paul's flirting with the Truthers and other fringe groups.

Umm... yeah... pretty much!
