Goode is a presidential candidate

This is the article from Virgil's hometown newspaper. No they aren't known as a bastion of conservative thought and commentary.

It has long been my opinion that the Constitution party is our best “third party” option. It is already established and has the same conservative platform that we generally agree with. If Newt’s plans fail, I may well vote for Goode. I think we should take a serious look at growing the CP into the party to eclipse the GOP-e.

And I voted for Perot once.

What a mistake.

According to Goode's presidential campaign website, his positions include: having a smaller, less costly government; reducing the deficit; balancing the budget; reducing regulations and becoming energy independent; support for building the Canada to Texas pipeline; reducing legal immigration; stopping illegal immigration; terminating the current IRS Code so it can be replaced with something simpler and fairer; tort reform to help control medical costs; preserving and protecting Social Security; and ending Obama's health care reform legislation.

So what's the freakin plan?

He sounds like one of the last Blue dogs.

[JRandomFreeper]

Same plan that Romney has. Except that Goode has a better platform.

And as much chance of winning the general election.

Sorry FRiend

200 some backers in Va is not a platform

[Theoria]

He’s a populist. Just look at his trade stance. But, populism has been lacking for a while.

RE: So what’s the freakin plan?

The plan is to get Goode elected because we’ve already seen what Obama’s & Romney’s plans are and they don’t look good for America.

THAT is his platform. You know, like the republican platform that you can find here.

If you don't know the difference between a platform and backers, I can't help you.

But neither Goode nor Romney stand a chance in the general election, either way. And Romney may not make it to the general.

No one knows the name.
There is no plan.

Ive always said Romney sucks in the GE because he cant compare and contrast to Obama.

[mylife]

Perry has actually kicked the PA square in the nuts since he was forced out.

[JRandomFreeper]

Well, that, and he'll have conservatives like me campaigning against him and the other liberal if he makes it to the general election.

Then I guess we’re all doomed. What’s your plan again?

[mylife]

I’m Campaigning against Obama and for down ballot votes that will hold our nominee’s feet to the fire

Shall we vote for Obama and go over the cliff at 90 mph, or vote for Romney and go over it at 60 mph? Ummm.

Really? Chuck Baldwin only got 199K votes out of 130+ million cast in '08. The Libertarians more than doubled that with 524K. If anything, the Libertarians would be considered the more viable of the alternate options, if you can call half a million votes viable.

I just watched Goodes speech at their Convention this weekend. There was a wall sconce and HVAC thermostat behind him like they were holding it in a Ramada Inn conference room. I don't think the party is as big as you think.
