Leading conservatives endorse Kerry, Nader

This is fascinating. Pat Buchanan’s magazine, The American Conservative, decided not to endorse anyone this election, but instead run separate endorsements from the individual editors. Buchanan, while he disagrees with Bush on most things, decides to endorse him anyway. But the number two, Executive Editor Scott McConnell goes the other way. Altogether, the editorials break down: 1 for Bush, 1 for Kerry, 1 for Nader, 1 for the Libertarian, 2 for the Constitution Party, and 1 for staying home. They’re all interesting, and from these links, you can check out all the others. Given, there’s an unsavory anti-immigrant angle in some of it, but putting that aside, there is fascinating material in here supporting my long-standing and oft-reiterated view that there is nothing conservative about this president. The Kerry endorsement is here: http://www.amconmag.com/2004_11_08/cover1.html. Equally interesting to me, as a former Green leader and long-time proponant of decentralism is the Nader endorsement, http://www.amconmag.com/2004_11_08/cover2.html,which asserts that his anti-corporatism is pure small-c conservatism.
