Pat Buchnan says if you're a true conservative, you won't let your friends vote for Bush. I guess that's the reason that Buchanan supporters were banned by Limbo from calling in today. (Following story from AP today):

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Reform Party presidential candidate Pat Buchanan returned to a state that gave him big lifts in the past to urge conservatives not to ``throw away'' their votes on Republican George W. Bush.

Buchanan, who won New Hampshire's 1996 GOP primary and made a strong showing there in 1992, said Bush has abandoned conservative principles. He urged voters to support his own bid to create ``a fighting new conservative party.''

Complaining that he was unfairly shut out of Tuesday's presidential debate, Buchanan said he isn't trying to take votes away from the Republican Party by attacking Bush. The Texas governor is driving votes away himself, he said.

``If my write-in votes cost Bush the presidency, then it's not my fault,'' Buchanan said in an interview. ``It's George Bush's fault and the judgment of the Lord is true and righteous.''

Buchanan said the only thing he and Bush agree on is using the budget surplus to cut taxes. He said they differ on immigration, free trade, the strength of their opposition to abortion, and the role of government.

``Don't throw away your vote in your state on George Bush,'' Buchanan said.

He also took a more personal jab at Bush, saying, ``In terms of experience, knowledge and wisdom, he's running in this race with the thinnest credentials.''
