Mr. Stooksbury,

Glad to hear you voted for Buchanan in ’96. Too bad there weren’t more of us.

I decided to drop my tiny protest pebble on what promised to be the larger pile in 2000. I did vote for PJB in the 1996 Republican primary.
Dylan Hales is correct about TAC. Nobody asked to see my papers when I started writing for it five years ago.

So far as I know Mr. Buchanan founded a magazine, not a cult.

Speaking for myself entirely, I voted for Nader in 2000 and don’t regret it. Of course I was much more of an orthodox lefty then and looking back it is possible I would have voted for Buchanan if my political shift had occurred a few years before. Still, Buchanan’s run used the decaying corpse of the Reform Party as its vehicle and the campaign wasn’t run nearly as efficiently as Nader’s.

Mr. Stooksbury’s political journey is likely much different than mine, but it is not as if a Nader vote in 2000 is something uncommon amongst readers and contributors to the wonderful journal Pat Buchanan helped create.

I’m curious as to why someone who writes for the magazine founded by Pat Buchanan supported Ralph Nader in 2000 rather than Buchanan. Wasn’t Buchanan on the ballot in Tennessee?
