The only genuine conservative I am aware of that will appear on our ballot in Wisconsin at this time is
Virgil Goode (click). I've reviewed his positions
on the issues (click) as well as his
voting record (click) and find him a welcome relief from the likes of Obama and Romney. Unless someone more conservative than he appears on the ballot,
I will vote for Virgil Goode proudly. Like John Fremont, he may not win. I do not require a "sure thing" to do the "right thing". I can't make a case that will convince you one way or the other. You are faced with an "R" candidate and a "D" candidate that are both advocates for bailouts, gun grabbing, abortion, amnesty, healthcare rationing, homosexualization, and big government. You may choose to support one or the other, or you may choose to risk it all and pick what's behind door number three. I'm picking the third door. Such action sparked the birth of a new nation and the birth of the Republican party, why not a resurgence of conservative values? It is a safer bet than trying to hold a liberal's feet to a conservative fire.
You mean the Virgil Goode who was a democrat turned republican turned 3rd party? That Virgil Goode?
Sincere conversion or conversion of convenience as the tide of conservatism is rising again?
To me, removing Obama is the right thing. I will fight the battle to remove Romney if we cannot hold him accountable.
I will no denigrate you for acting on principle as many do here. I agree with your motivations and have made the same arguments ad infinitum. From reading your few posts here, I’d say that we agree more than 95% of the issues and the correct actions to get us on the right path. I thank you for your efforts and your civility. Heaven help us all.
