Why I voted for Pat Buchanan. First, I wil start off with a disclamer. I am Pro-Choice, in favor of Gay Marriage, and an atheist. Now why would such a person vote for Pat Buchanan, who opposes people with the above three characteristics? Well, I agree with Pat on Immigration, affirmative...

A declaration of Intentions I will be gone for the next week going fossil hunting in Pennsylvania for, and I won't be bringing my laptop. I may miss the 2000 election, so I wan't to declare my support for Patrick J. Buchanan of the Reform Party. If I can get back in time to vote, that would...

Well, the saying "watch what we do, not what we say" could also apply to Agnew, as it did to Nixon. Nixon on the outside appeared conservative, and angry. The angry speeches by Agnew, and Nixon's seeming grumpyness didn't help his public image, but Nixon has quite a liberal record in terms of...

On the question of Alaska. What is its status in terms of loyalty to the union, or likelyhood of seccession? I figure there are about 2 options: 1 - Some foreign power (Canada, Japan) invades the territory to "restore order" for the benefit of the people living there. 2 - Canada offers...

What the HELL!!!!!! This is the second time this has happened. Every time I am reading a book that involves President Nixon, someone posts a Nixon timeline. Just two days ago, I started reading "A Time to Heal The autobiography of Gerald R Ford." I am half way through it, and I vididly...

I know we are going to go through the 2000, 2004, and 2008 elections. However my quyestion is are we going to do somesort of poll on 2012? I know this is a "retrospective" elections poll, but it would be interesting to see what people think about Obama v Romney. Also, looking back at my...

What about John Lindsay? He was a liberal Republican who left the party because he felt Nixon was dragging the party to the right. He could attract liberal votes from both parties, especially if both nominees are relatively conservative. How about this: Have Buckley win the mayoral race...

Why I voted for Bob Dole. I know that Dole isn't the most inspiring figure, that's why I call him "Dull Doe." On the other hand, he really isn't a right winger. He tried to moderate the GOP platform, and on many issues, Dole is pandering to the base to get their support, not because he...

http://liberalslikechrist.org/about/chickenhawks.html The above link lists many "Chicken Hawks." GOP'ers who got deferments, or just didn't serve, and yet want to invade every country they don't like. How could these people be different, if they had served, and survived their services...

I will actually disagree that Palin couldn't be the 2016 frontrunner. With two "successful" terms as governor, and a HELL of alot more debating practice, she could potentially be the GOP frontrunner. However presuming Obama wins in 2012, the moderates in the party are going to be discredited...

My views on each candidate: Mitt Romney -The man's got more views than there are policies to have views on. Rick Santorum - At least when he says something, we know he means it. Ron Paul - He knows he will never be nominated, or be in a GOP cabinet. He's setting the stage for Rand in 2016...

Why not Wendell Willkie? He was a registered Democrat until he decided to run for the GOP nomination. He supported most of FDR's big projects, and was an internationalist, so he might be acceptable. However to get Willkie as the DEM nominee, we need either the GOP, led by Taft, Vandeberg...

I proudly cast my vote for Henry Ross Perot. I don't really care too much about social issues, and won't bother anyone else about them. I personally don't think a balanced budget amendment (BBA) to the Constitution is needed because the gov't ought to be able to keep its books balanced, but...

Thanks for the interesting info on the whereabouts of Harry S. Truman. Also, I forgot to say thanks for the info on the FED a couple of updates back. I am hoping the Hawaiian Monarchy can be restored with the help of either Germany, or Japan/China. One last thought, hopefully we can have...

Richard Nixon, car salesman, well you asked for it. My answer: YES because who doesn't like Dick Nixon?:D Wishing you well, his majesty, The Scandinavian Emperor
