In short, Betty, vote for Goode and not for evil.

But the problem there, dear brother in Christ, is that if I vote for Goode, I'm surely going to get evil out of it.

History shows that third-party candidates never win presidential elections. All they do is siphon votes away from the major party nominees.

Case in point: Ross Perot. He received 19 percent of the popular vote in 1992 — but not one single electoral vote. As a consequence of his participation in that election, Bill Clinton was elected president with less than half the popular vote, defeating a sitting president in the process.

A third-party effort at this stage has a snowball's chance in hell of success.... It will only divide the Republican base. You don't win elections that way.

But I do have to acknowledge that Virgil Goode is my kind of guy — TEA Party down to the ground. Still and all, I believe that to vote for a third-party candidate is to throw my vote away.

Again: Job One is to remove the criminal enterprise from the White House. I'm focusing on that. Nothing is more important to me right now.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts dear brother.
