Insulting those who do not agree with you on all issues--or personalities--is not the way to win over anyone to your point of view. One needs to distinguish between those rabid foes, who get all frothy over their "reform" agendas, and those who simply do not see things as you do. Conservatives need to learn how to persuade the latter, or the former (the Obama & Pelosi types) will continue to succeed in remaking America in a form that is unacceptable to any patriotic American.

While I am clearly more Conservative than either Goode or Romney, I am strongly supporting Romney for the reasons stated in Romney/Ryan.

This does not mean that I do not respect Virgil Goode, who would have had my support if some of the other Republican candidates had gotten the nomination.

But, again, with the right sort of persuasion, most of the votes that would otherwise go to Goode, can be won for Romney. Insulting Goode, is just not the key to winning those votes.
