Mitt Romney is weird. When the Obama reelection campaign early in the cycle made the mistake of indicating that its strategy would be to imply that Mitt Romney is weird by repeatedly telling Politico that it planned on calling Mitt Romney weird, Romneys camp countered by causing a brief and not particularly sincere media brouhaha over whether weird is code for Mormon. Plenty of Americans think Mormons are weird, yes, but in this case, the simple fact is Mitt Romney is weird, entirely apart from his religion.
-SNIP-
All video of him attempting to interact with normal humans is cringe-inducing, as a cursory YouTube search quickly demonstrates. (Martin Luther King Day, Jacksonville, Fla., 2008: Mitt poses for a picture with some cheerful young parade attendees. As he squeezes in to the otherwise all-black group, he says, apropros of nothing, Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof!) He seems to have been told that small talk is mostly made up of cheerfully delivered non sequiturs.
-SNIP-
Romney recently told People magazine, I tasted a beer and tried a cigarette once, as a wayward teenager, and never did it again. Im not sure we should believe him. Theres no way in hell I can imagine Mitt Romney loosening up enough to have a beer.

I've met him a few times (I think my brother knows him pretty well), he's a great guy.

So, Im a Virgil Goode supporter for this election. He is pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-American worker over illegal, pro-controlled border, pro-Americans secure in their persons and papers, pro-best military in the world....everything a conservative could want.Sounds good to me.
Can you post some source verification for Virgil's conservative principles as very soon the surrender-monkey Mitt supporters will be on here with their "a vote for Goode is a vote for Obama" rants.

Ask him how hes going to do it. Well hello Stuart...you do seem to pop up with questions you can never quite get the answer you're looking for.
I suggest you go right to the source and ask him yourself. I don't carry 'stuarts' water.
I trust the owner...he'll do whatever he determines is best for conservatisim.

This forum is probably going to officially be a pro-Virgil Goode forum.And I hope it does become exactly that. Goode is the real deal: a true conservative. He represented the congressional district next to mine and I heard/read nothing but good commentary on him during that time.

if the GOP wants to keep nominating liberals they need to figure out a way to get them elected without my help. Hear here! Exactly right!

I don’t want to know. I thought you did when you stated that you’re not sure how Jims going to handle this awkward place. That’s why I suggested you ask him.
Why would I want you to carry water?
