Pat Buchanan, who knows one or two things about the American establishment, has said on the record on a talk show:
PAT BUCHANAN: If McCain wins, McCain wins, he will make Cheney look like Gandhi.
If the US votes for John McCain, they're going to get the ultimate neocon, and the rest of the world is going to be saddled with it as well. McCain is being supported by all major neocons, everyone from Norman Podhoretz, who advocates that we're already at World War IV, and he keeps on talking about Islamo-fascism
So if we're going to have McCain, it's good for the Pentagon, it's good for the military-industrial establishment. But Americans in the world must be warned: it's going to be less jobs, more war.
