He is pretty much for government invtervention into everything except when it comes to protecting in the environment and regulating business to protect consumers and peoples health. In other words he is all for government intervention unless such intervention is really helpful and necessary.
The man is not a true Republican (he left the party and ran on the reform ticket) and should be treated like a traitor.

I generally agree with you, however, I don't think that you can deny he holds a certain sway over some members of the right wing electorate and correspondingly they are of a like mind to some/all of his positions. Also, while I generally don't agree with a lot of his positions, I think his piece on Harryette has merit.
[true story] [outable] Finally, ftr, fwiw, in my youth, with some of my friends, we would play act our own personal version of the McLaughlin Group, complete with a mock set, although we had alcoholic beverages in our coffee mugs. I always played Novak, never Buchanan. [/outable][/true story]. I think that should give you some insight into me.
