And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Virgil Goode Ping!

I much prefer Virgil Goode rather than Romney or Obama. However, I will probably check the box for Tom Hoefling, whose emphases I prefer over those of Virgil Goode.

Unless we vote against the Democrat nominee, we may end up with a social liberal. Oh, wait....

Seriously, the Republican Party has drifted so far left that it has left the social conservatives behind. Let those who disdain us go ahead with their fearmongering. We’ve already lost all of the political battles. We have nothing left to fear.

Will Obama legalize abortion? Already done by a Supreme Court that contained 7 of 9 justices nominated by Republican Presidents.

Will Obama legalize homosexuality? Already done by a Supreme Court that contained 5 of 9 justices nominated by Republican Presidents.

Will be fined, fired, kept from graduating from college, or jailed for simply stating that we believe that homosexuality is wrong? That is already being done to hundreds across our country.

The fearmongers have been so successful that we now have a choice between Romney and Obama. We really have nothing left to fear. Flame away. I don’t have a dog in this Presidential hunt.

Even a nominee with a zero name recognition four months prior to the general election will get some votes. But is that the hill you want to die on?

[little jeremiah]

I will not vote for a spoiler.

Sounds Goode to me. I’ll have to contact the campaign to see if they’re working to get on the ballot in NJ.

I would prefer Virgil Goode to Mitt Romney but being a realist, his prospects are not encouraging. He's only on the ballot in 17 states and here we are approaching the middle of July. There must be deadlines coming up soon that he will surely miss. If it's not even mathematically possible for him to win 270 electoral votes, why even bother? I might as well write myself in and to that end, I've posted a bit of a platform on my profile page here.

I think it is possible to someday elect a third party candidate as president but it is safe to say that the window of opportunity has been pretty much closed for this go-around, due to lack of funds, organization and being on the ballot in all 50 states. It also doesn't help when only 20 people show up at your big fundraiser and you lost your last two bids to be a congressman in your home district.

I bucked the trend in 1992 and voted Ross Perot. At a point back there in June of 1992, it looked like Perot could actually win! He was ahead of both Bush and Clinton in the polls and he was willing to spend his own money (had over a billion dollars) to run a first class campaign.

Wasn't so much a big fan of Ross Perot as I was disgusted with the two choices of Bush (Sr.) and Clinton. I stuck with Perot even during that wacky summer when he was dropping out and dropping back in and his inner circle were bailing. I was much younger back then and more naive. I thought we'd be better off with Perot regardless of his bizarre behavior.

All I know is that on election night, when Clinton and Gore were dancing around like fairies to Fleetwood Mac songs, I had a sick feeling in my stomach about the whole business of voting for Perot.

I will consider voting third party again but only if that candidate has a credible campaign and a decent chance of winning.
