Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Does it matter who wins the White House?
By Chuck Baldwin
July 28, 2000
According to a recent survey, a whopping 75% of the
American people believe the answer to the above question is
no. The Portrait of America poll conducted July 23 reveals
that most Americans believe it really doesn’t make much
difference whether George W. Bush or Al Gore is elected
president of the United States this November. They might be
right.
A study of the positions of Gore and Bush show more
similarities than one would expect to find. For instance,
both Gore and Bush support U.S. funded UN "peacekeeping"
missions. Both men support participation in the WTO by the
United States and China. Both Bush and Gore favor continued
funding of the IMF and World Bank. They both support
granting permanent Most Favored Nation trade status to
Communist Red China. They both support the expansion of
NATO and supported Clinton’s illegal war against Kosovo. In
fact, Bush even intervened to block a congressional vote
that would have placed a time limit on the U.S. presence in
Kosovo.
Bush and Gore both support enacting additional gun control
laws. The argument on this issue (like most issues) is only
one of degree, not direction. Both Bush and Gore support
Clinton’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy allowing
homosexuals to serve in the armed forces. They both favor
an increased role for the federal Department of Education.
Neither Bush nor Gore wants to abolish the National
Endowment for the Arts. In fact, Laura Bush said that one
of her top priorities as First Lady would be to expand
federal funding for the N.E.A.
Neither George W. Bush nor Al Gore has revealed any
inclination to get China out of the Panama Canal or to
restore an American presence there. Neither man has
indicated any interest in protecting our borders from the
current onslaught of illegal immigration. Neither man has
expressed any desire to abolish Affirmative Action. Both
Bush and Gore support the Legal Services Corporation. I
could go on, but you get the point.
The vast majority of the American people can see for
themselves that both major parties are spitting images of
each other. Neither party offers the American people a
change of direction. Even on fiscal matters, the
differences have mostly to do with rhetoric and less to do
with reality.
While preaching conservatism and tax reduction, Republicans
have increased federal spending by over one-third since
they took control of congress in 1995. According to a new
Cato Institute study, the current 106th Congress
(controlled by Republicans in both chambers) "is well on
its way to becoming the largest-spending Congress on
domestic social programs since the late 1970’s." The
study’s authors, Stephen Slivinski and Stephen Moore, say
the reason is the "inability or unwillingness of
Republicans to eliminate virtually any government program."
According to the study, instead of eliminating 95 social
programs, which the GOP promised to do, they have increased
federal spending for those programs by a combined 13%.
Steep spending increases have been granted to programs
ranging from AmeriCorps to Goals 2000.
Democrats must be green with envy at how Republicans can be
so liberal with our tax dollars and yet enjoy such
widespread support among people who profess to be
conservative. I must admit; I marvel at this, too.

A vote for Bush or Gore is a vote to continue Clinton policies!
A vote for Buchanan is a vote to continue America!
Therefore a vote for Gore or Bush is a wasted vote for America!
Don't waste your vote! Vote for Patrick Buchanan!
Today, candor compels us to admit that our vaunted two-party system is a
snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation. Our two parties have become
nothing but two wings of the same bird of prey...
Patrick Buchanan
