No civilized country is considered a great country without good socialist policies. Now, before anti-Marxists and patriots jump off the fence, let me make myself clear. Left and right are antiquated concepts. They ended when George Bush Sr. said we lived in a New World Order. Today, more than ever, these people need to reorient themselves to the New World Order; it's about new politics, different issues.
Basically, what's hurting America today is too much Capitalism. Bush offers in many respects the same thing as Gore, but far worse. You might keep your guns for a short while, but you won't have any Social Security, Medicare, retirement, environment, etc. Is that really worth it?
These are issues no great country gives up. Frankly, if you want to know the truth, I voted for Dukakis in '88. I thought he would do a good job for the domestic economy. Why is wanting affordable healthcare such a sin? I think raising the minimum wage is a good thing. Sometimes, I even have a problem with Buchanan on those kinds of issues. Republicans brag, "we defeated Healthcare." Shame on Republicans. You'll never get me to vote Republican. Healthcare, Environment, Gun Rights, we can have it both ways. Don't believe all the propaganda.
Buchanan's pointed in the right direction; he's "bore sighted", if you will. He's looking at America First. He's also flexible too. As a Roman Catholic, I believe he can be softened on Democratic issues. Look at the situation with Fulani, protectionism, etc. Give the man chance. Don't sell out to corporate greed.
