Palin supported Pat Buchanan in 2000

[© tweed]

"Pat Buchanan brought his conservative message of a smaller government and an America First foreign policy to Fairbanks and Wasilla on Friday as he continued a campaign swing through Alaska. Buchanan's strong message championing states rights resonated with the roughly 85 people gathered for an Interior Republican luncheon in Fairbanks. … Among those sporting Buchanan buttons were Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin and state Sen. Jerry Ward, R-Anchorage."

Yea, they were talking about this on MSNBC earlier.

[Alcon]

Ugh, ew.

Well, at least ethics reform matters more.

[Eraserhead]

So, she's a complete wackjob?

What was Buchanan's input on this?

[Verily]

Now I feel really guilty about having liked her. Ethics reform can come along just fine from either McCain or Obama without some kooky VP.

He was proud, thought she was a great pick...if I remember correctly.

[Ronnie]

Oh god, ew.

[Keystone Phil]

I thought it was only in 1992 and 1996 (not that it makes it much better).

I actually liked her before I heard how awful she is.

That's pretty much the worst candidate she could have supported in 2000.

[afleitch]

Oh dear...

[bgwah]

LOL

[Sbane]

Seriously, even Bush wasn't that bad back in 2000. At least we didn't know what was coming.

He still said it was a "great pick" too.

Pat Buchanan ran for the Reform Party in 2000.

Uh, yeah, thanks. I was saying that I thought she only supported him in his 1992 and 1996 campaigns.

[True Democrat]

I really wanted to like her.

[Sensei]

I really wanted to like her.

yeah, you seemed overjoyed in the "McCain picks Palin" thread.

I misunderstood you then, sorry.

[Aizen]

Wow. Maybe McCain should have met Palin more than once before deciding on his VP pick. This is going to backfire on McCain. Mark my words!

[Keystone Phil]

The article is from 1999. Didn't Buchannan start out running for the GOP nomination (again) in 2000? I'm sure she ended up supporting Bush when Buchannan left the party. Again, this doesn't mean she suddenly stopped liking Buchannan.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting.
