IPR Interview: Virgil Goode Makes His Case to Ron Paul Supporters (And Principled Conservatives)

How do you spell principled, CVV? Apparently, some freepers have forgotten the high regard for "Mittens" in the distant and (even) recent past, and all of a sudden, those who continue to despise the man's politics are suddenly crazy, out-of-step, ignorant, etc.....hmmmmm

Yeah, right!

There is about as much of a chance of this happening as us seeing our former “Compassionate Conservative” RINO President (Boosh) coming out and defending his record (the good parts) and taking O’Bummer to task for his illegal and Unconstitutional agenda.

First of all, Mittens would have to take his gonads out of where most Republi-tards keep them; securely hidden under lock and key in some storage area.

He/they are petrified of the Lame Stream Media and as far as I know, Newt is one of the few who has dared challenge the media. The rest (and that includes the Weeper of the House and the limp-wristed Mitch McConnell) think that if they stay quiet, the corrupt, biased, media will somehow be “nice” to them or conversely, not be so mean as usual

They are ALL soooo stoopid and never learn from their mistakes or hitoire.

The media (as we witnessed in 08 with Juan McLame) help choose our candidate (the same as they just did with Mittens) and as soon as they are the presumptive nominee, begin an unrelenting effort to destroy them as they work diligently to help “their” choice (Dear Leader or any other Demo-Rat/Lib/Progressive/Socialist/Commie, but I repeat myself) get re/elected.

Wake up all ye Pubes and smell the deception, deceit and dishonor being perpetrated by the media and quit acting like a bunch of spineless, girly-guy, wusses.

Sadly, it appears that our women (Palin, Bachman, et al) have a bigger “pair” then our men do.

How “principled” is a “principled conservatism” that gives us four more years of a Moslem-mole President whose goal is to overwhelm the Republic?

[W. W. SMITH]

With an Obama win the GOP will fight tooth and nail to block as much as possible of the communist agenda.

With a Romney win the gutless GOP will move heaven and earth to help pass the communist agenda.

I will vote Goode!

Are you a deist then? According to Jesus, the idea of a distant, uninvolved God is wrong. He doesn't just know, he cares about the falling of a single sparrow. So yes, he cares about what each of us does every day, up to and including whether we make bad moral choices.

Moral choices include many things, not the least of which is whom we give power over our lives. A vote is a voluntary, temporary transfer of power to another person, not entirely unlike a power of attorney. We give that other person a measure of control over our life. And as long as I may do so freely, I will never voluntarily give power over my life to someone who has aspirations to deity.

But why not, you say? What’s a harmless little god complex between friends?

Here’s the problem: There is only one God, and I will not sanction or cede control to any of his competitors. The Scriptures show that God is a jealous God, and he will not give his glory to another. If I reject him on that point (by sanctioning someone else who clearly does reject him on that point), he will hold me to account. As Jesus said, it is better to fear God than man. And in another place he says the he who trusts in man is cursed. Why would I invite that into my life? I’d rather have God’s blessing.

[W. W. SMITH]

This one is for those who when they see the word communist their brain ceases to function.

With an Obama win the GOP will fight tooth and nail to block as much as possible of the radical leftest agenda.

With a Romney win the gutless GOP will move heaven and earth to help pass the radical leftest agenda.

I will vote Goode!

Define moral. For a hint on my view, see post #24. God defines morality. No one else. Make your case in that context. If you can. No hostility. Just curious to see how you will try to make this work. Warning. I will be watching closely for fear versus faith as motivation, and for end-means justification fallacies. Go for it.

[going hot]

Thank you for the reply.

I simply was unaware that anyone was running as a replacement, a competitor -if you will- for God.

Now, some in position of power may think that, until they are face to face with their Creator.

I don't have personal knowledge, but I strongly suspect the He is not really worried about mortal pretenders.

You have quite clearly defined the moral delima faced by those trying to make the case that not voting for Romney, a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, is voting for Obama.

[zeugma]

Excellent post. I may not have to vote for Cthulhu this year after all.

[SoConPubbie]

Really? Wow, talk about hyperbole

Really?

So how exactly would you categorize a politician who has done the following?:

1. Implemented Socialized medicine with a $50 dollar Abortion
2. Implemented an "Assault" weapons ban
3. Supported the Brady Bill
4. Raised taxes/fees by $700 million
5. Whole-heartedly supported Abortion while Governor, and even after his supposed Pro-Life conversion was still nominating extreme Pro-Abortion judges.
6. Supported and forced Gay Adoption. He still supports Gay Adoption.
7. Almost implemented a Carbon cap-and-trade plan, only backing off at the last minute when he realized the political winds had changed and he was running for President.
8. Supported Planned Parenthood.
9. Nominated 27 out of 36 judges who were radical, left-wing, Progressive Liberals.
10. Supported/Supports Amnesty for Illegal Aliens.
11. Believes States forcing people to buy Health Insurance is constitutionally correct.
12. Is Ok with Homos in Scouts.
13. Supported TARP and Auto Bailouts.
14. Supported McCain-Kennedy (Amnesty for Illegal Aliens)
15. Is OK with Homos in Military.

AmazIng how quickly some folks adapt the Obama talking points, and use them against Romney

It is as amazing as how quickly people will gloss over Romney's warts because he has an R behind his name. No matter how many times you kiss him this Romney frog he isn't going to turn into Prince Charming.

I can understand why a self-professed conservative like you might vote for this clown (considering the alternative) but at least be honest enough to admit that Romney's politics stink to high heaven. Ideologically, Mitt Romney is the worst candidate the Republicans have ever run (and one of a very small handful of national Republican figures ever for whom I wouldn't hold my nose and vote).

He doesn't need congress.

He has executive orders, and he is not afraid to use them.

He was the worst candidate outside of Ron Paul. His record in MA was pitiful and way too liberal for my taste.

Having said that, he's the ONLY person in the world standing between us and a 2nd term. So... I'm ABO till the end. We can't afford otherwise.

[NE Cons]

Look at the havoc he's causing with the EPA, and the destruction he'll cause with it during the next 4 years, if elected.

Excellent post!

I'm reminded of the 1992 Presidential Election. Ross Perot, seeing widespread dissatisfaction with George Bush I, entered the race as a common sense conservative. He got 18.9% of the popular vote against Bush, from people who wanted to punish Bush for violating his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge.

The net result was that Bill Clinton won in an electoral landslide, while getting just 43% of the popular vote.

I never said God was concerned about god wannabes. He’s not. He laughs at their pretension. Yet he is concerned about how his believers behave themselves. He warns us to steer clear of any person or practice that sets itself up against God, or offers itself as a substitute for God. He designates such hubris as idolatry, and has told us unambiguously to avoid it, to flee from it. His concern is for us, not for the idol. He loves us, and thus wants us to direct our faith exclusively to him, because only then can we receive his blessing and help, which we now so desperately need.

[Graewoulf]

Thanks for this thread.

You have convinced me. V. Goode is the answer to our prayers.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Ask Mitt for this promise.

Mitt’s trying to have it all ways.
