Buchanan Endorces Bush

In a surprising move, Pat Buchanan has given President Bush his endorsement in the upcoming election.

Here is my summary of his reasons:

Suprememe Court: "With Kerry as president, William Rehnquist could be succeeded as chief justice by Hillary Clinton."

Iraq: But a vote for Kerry is more than just a vote to punish Bush. It is a vote to punish America.... If Kerry wins, leading a party that detests this war, he will be forced to execute an early withdrawal.

Kerry: His conduct was as treasonous as that of Jane Fonda and disqualifies him from ever being commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Potential: It is our only hope. If an authentic conservatism rooted in the values of faith, family, community, and country is ever again to become the guiding light of national policy, it will have to come through a Republican administration.

Loyalty: No matter the quarrels inside the family, when the shooting starts, you come home to your own.

Overall: While Bush and Kerry are both wrong on Iraq, Sharon, NAFTA, the WTO, open borders, affirmative action, amnesty, free trade, foreign aid, and Big Government, Bush is right on taxes, judges, sovereignty, and values. Kerry is right on nothing. ... on life, guns, judges, taxes, sovereignty, and defense, Bush is far better

Here is what Buchanan says about the The Constitution Party: [it] is the party closest to this magazine in philosophy and policy prescriptions, and while one must respect votes for Michael Peroutka by those who live in Red or Blue states, we cannot counsel such votes in battleground states.
