Pat Buchanan.

Pat Buchanan was the reform party presidential nominee for 2000. He writes for multiple smaller circulation newspapers, and is very politically active.

He was most active in the 2000 election, but still today, his party carries around 500,000 registered members, and he is considered a major voice for some political advocacy groups. Buchanan's political label is clear, he is a right-wing conservative in every way. Buchanan makes no compromises, and has no qualifications of his views; he is extreme right wing through and through.

Buchanan on gay rights said, "All lifestyles are not equal. All ideas are not equal. Some are wrong; some are right. And this is what America needs more than anything else; it needs truth. Now when it comes to myself and the leader of the gay rights movement nationally, [we] have identical constitutional rights. But I do not believe their ideas...
