Virgil Goode submits 14,000 signatures for ballot, with help from Independent Greens
Virginia Politics ^

Posted on 07/25/2012 6:30:17 PM PDT by mnehring

With a little help from his friends, former congressman Virgil Goode has taken a key step toward getting his name on November’s presidential ballot in Virginia, submitting more than 14,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections....

..Goode was a Democrat for much of his career, then became an Independent and finally a Republican for his last six years on Capitol Hill. Now Goode is getting assistance from yet another party, the Independent Greens, whose members have collected thousands of signatures for him....

...“Virgil supports rail, and that’s our big issue and he’s with us on that,” said Carey Campbell, a member of the Independent Greens executive committee. “We’ve had for many years a good relationship with the Constitution Party folks.”...

Gee that’s tough.”

Damn strait! Where in the hell have you been the past 3+ years? Get a clue; if Obama wins a second term, it will be “tough” for all of us! 2016 will not matter.

“Rebellion On!” Pfft!

To: I see no value in voting for someone who has less than a snowball’s chance.

I see that you are from the state of Washington. Rasmussen has your state listed as solid blue, safe for OBAMA!

That means that Romney doesn't have a snowball's chance in your state. (You know it and we know it.)

What we're saying is basically what you just said. Since there's no chance at all that Romney will win in Washington State, any logic about anyone but Romney doesn't compute.

Therefore, you don't have to hold your nose and vote for liberal Romney. It isn't going to help.

You can vote your conservative principles instead...Vote for a true pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, pro-small government conservative...vote for Virgil Goode.

“I’m going to vote for him because Mitt is a lying manipulative bottom feeding piece of trash.”

Understood.......but you an others would only be helping 0bamam carry VA and likely win the election. I recommend you hold your nose an vote for Willard only to stop 0bama.

“And Goode was a democrat, then an independant, THEN a republican, and now the greenies are helping him...
Yeah, sounds like a really trust-worthy guy. Real consistent. “

Ha! He sounds better than Mitt, who has supported every Obama idea and even modeled how to nationalize healthcare.

Let me amend what I said... if I lived in Virginia, or any other state where it was close, I would not vote for a 3d party if there was a chance of keeping those electoral votes away from Obama.

And yet, Obama just left here this morning after yet another campaign stop to beg money from the fine but misguided folks in Bellevue. He’s slipping here... not much, but still slipping.

((shrug)) that's what they tell me. BTW I don't live in VA. LOL

I'll think about voting for Mittless when you guys reach the inevitable begging stage but no promises.

No matter how you slice n dice it, a vote for Virgil is a vote to keep the current POS in the W.H. There is no if, ands, or buts.

Goode was a Liberal Democrat congressman.

Goode has ALWAYS been a pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun conservative.

When Goode was a democrat, during the Zell Miller conservative Democrat days, his voting record was far more conservative than the acceptable democrat, Zell Miller, and it was more conservative than ALL but a handful of Republicans.

Don’t worry, they won’t.

Despite all of the damage and destruction brought on our nation by Obama, they still hold more contempt for Romney. To help them justify their decision to vote for a selfish prick like Goode, they must push the idea that Obama and Romney are exactly the same.

Whatever Romney is, he does not hate the country, and does not have as his mission, the goal to destroy it. Can you believe it... these people have more contempt for Romney than Obama, and in their selfishness, are willing to help Obama win a second term. It’s like watching the DUmmies.

There’s a difference between a competitor and an ally.
The socialist Green Party is an ally of Goode’s, those primary wannabes were competitors.

It’s a shame they did not get the legally required signatures despite knowing the law. I didn’t bother to vote in the primary and, more importantly, attention wasn’t paid to the primary by anyone. It was a waste of time and money instead of the publicity bonus it could have been for the Party!

I don’t, however, think the Republican Party of Virginia should have conspired to evade the law for the sake of these possible candidates, despite the ‘good’ they would have gotten from doing so.

Goode was a Liberal Democrat congressman.

Just to add a final point...

Virgil Goode, as a democrat, voted FOR THE IMPEACHMENT of Bill Clinton.

There is no evasion of law in cooperating with the competition in gathering signatures.

It’s quite creative....and...quite legal.
