Entry: Goodbye to Politics Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/goodbye_to_politics#13618 Post contents: When Pat Buchanan first ran for national office (1992), I was dismayed that he turned down the offer of the American Taxpayers Party to be their candidate; instead he continued to waste precious dollars in the Republican primary. Isn't there a party that could offer Rep. Paul the spot as their candidate? Why do real conservatives remind me of the "misunderstood" artists who used to inhabit Greenwich Village, who preferred losing to winning, so that they could enjoy a superior feeling without having to deal with success? Scott McConnell explained to me that Pat had difficulty separating himself from the Republican Party. Was that really the problem? Maybe Richard Nixon realized that Buchanan was at heart a loser. Even Howard Roark got tired of sitting around doing nothing. Sent at: 2009 01 07
