With a little help from his friends, former congressman Virgil Goode has taken a key step toward getting his name on November’s presidential ballot in Virginia, submitting more than 14,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections....
..Goode was a Democrat for much of his career, then became an Independent and finally a Republican for his last six years on Capitol Hill. Now Goode is getting assistance from yet another party, the Independent Greens, whose members have collected thousands of signatures for him....
...“Virgil supports rail, and that’s our big issue and he’s with us on that,” said Carey Campbell, a member of the Independent Greens executive committee. “We’ve had for many years a good relationship with the Constitution Party folks.”...

This comment right here shows us that you are a completely uninformed moron.
And I mean that with all seriousness. You are uninformed. You are ininformed in a stupid way, since what you've said is so easily refutable that if you'd bothered to do the least little bit of research, you would have been able to disabuse yourself of it before vomiting it out onto a public world for all the world to see how lazy and stupid you really are.
I have followed congressional voting records for about a decade and a half now. If there is one thing Virgil Goode never was, it is a *liberal* Democrat. Even back when he was a Democrat, he had a better voting record than all but the most conservative of the Republicans (think B1 Bob Dornan, etc.). I always wondered why he was a Democrat when he so naturally seemed to be a fit for the Republicans (well, so I thought at the time - now I realise that he's too far to the right for the increasingly sissified GOP). It came as no surprise to me when he left the Democrats, and it also came as no surprise to me when he joined the GOP. His voting record had been screaming that these were natural moves for over a decade.
But here you come along along - Mr. Doesn't-know-diddly-squat-about-anything-yet-still-wants-to-spout-off-his-little-nonsense-views-as-if-anyone-with-half-a-brain-would-care-what-he-thought-about-anything. Proof positive that postings on Free Republic are not immune to Sturgeon's Law.
I pray that the Israelis have enough "rabbit holes" to go down into when the nukes come their way. I have a real problem with that - it's pretty clear that you don't.
Willard’s potential VP choice of Condi Rice visited Israel, too, but it doesn’t change the fact she is a pro-Arabist. You’re deluding yourself if “visiting” anywhere will prove their support for or loyalty to said locale. Willard is only loyal and supportive to one cause, his own. Nothing else matters.
Sounds like you're projecting.
Maybe Romney won’t fix all the problems, but, I’d vote for a 3-legged, one-eyed, s**t eating dog if it would get Obama out of the White House. Romney may be a RINO, but he is not a Kenyan Marxist, who has been tutored, and groomed, by Marxist and terrorist to destroy this nation.
To augment your comments, Goode was a Conservative in the VA legislature. He didn’t let the leftist Dems get away with their nonsense. He forced the VA Senate Democrats to share power with the GOP when the former tried to steamroll the latter. The leftist Democrats loathed Goode. He only stayed with the Democrats in an ancestrally Dem area because he hoped to take back that party from the radical ultraleft. It was the leftist nutters that pushed him out of the party after he went to DC.
I stand with Israel 100%. I’m not deluding myself into believing EITHER of those two ultraleft FRAUDS Zero or Willard will stand with them.
I’ve known him 18 years since his Senate race. You don’t know Willard.
:-)
Face it Normy, you're overmatched.
In simple English, they have BOTH got to go.
I’m guessing Goode will get roughly 90% of his financial support from the Obama camp, hoping he’ll siphon off just enough votes to help their guy win.
Let's face it - Republican Party partisans (as opposed to simple rank-and-file registered members) - and this includes, apparently, a lot of folks here on FR - are nothing but arrogant dipwads. They assume that because the Democrat is so bad, they have a free hand to foist off a Republican who is almost as bad. Yet, they never stop to think that they're in the process of breaking once and for all the system that they are abusing to get their short term goal of a liberal Republican into office. They may get what they want this election cycle, but they are destroying their Party and their country in the process.
Under a President Mitt Romney, the country will still be marching toward socialism, will still have socialised medicine, and will still keep a collapsing economy. Mitt Romney will not fundamentally alter any of these things. And what's more - he will not even try to. Anyone who actually thinks Mitt Romney is some sort of paladin who's going to sweep in and fix all the problems and give us prosperity and true freedom again is simply a drooling idiot.
We owe these people absolutely NOTHING.
How many times have these GOP-E types undercut real conservatives? Remember Joe Miller? Remember Sharron Angle? Remember Christine O'Donnell? Each one could have won, or at least had a fighting chance, had they had the Party's support. But the Party - being full of left-wing hacks and inside-the-beltway politicos more interested in retaining their sinecures than in doing what's right for the country - did not support them (even though they were the primary voters' choices), and in fact undercut them at every turn.
And these same politicos expect us to just turn around and support their guy for President, 'cause it's so goll-durn important that he win.
Nope.
Turnabout is fair play.
Sorry GOP, but you don't own my vote. And you won't GET my vote, until you start respecting your own base once again.
As horrific as Zero is, he can’t inflict that kind of damage that Willard can within the GOP.

Screw the GOP. I don’t care about the GOP; I care about this country. You and I both know that it will either be Romney or Obama. That’s just the way it is and you and I both know it. Yeah, Newt was my man; Sarah was my girl. But, they won’t be on the ballot. So, I have to say: “Who, Obama or Romney will bring the most destruction on this nation and my grandchildren”, and vote for the other guy after deciding.
I’m voting to oust the communist despot who hates this country.
If it took Charles Manson or Kimbo Slice to do it at this point i would.
You on the other hand are hoping Obama gets another term since you 10/10 candidate never ran in the first place and is not on the ballot.
and spare me this Goode bs - guy could not run a two car funeral competently.
Thanks, DR, for setting the record straight.
Here's the simple fact of the whole matter - if Obama wins in November, it will be the fault of all the spineless, gutless fools out there who voted for Mitt Romney instead of Virgil Goode.
Mitt Romney needs to drop out of the race and throw his support to Virgil Goode NOW.
Without a viable (and Conservative) GOP to oppose an ultraleftist in the White House, it isn’t much going to matter. As for Zero or Willard, the latter hasn’t been formally nominated. There is still time to dump him at the convention and replace him with someone who has the record of achievement to get the job done... Gov. Scott Walker.
