...Virgil Goode has long supported a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, which recently cleared the House. He advocates “currency that is real and backed by gold or silver.”
Goode champions “fair and equitable opportunity, but it’s up to you to use it. Government cannot ensure equal results because every individual differs;”
An ardent proponent of balancing the budget, our deficits Goode insists, stem from “spending.” “Taxes should be simple and fair … I’m not for increasing income taxes; if we even have an income tax.”
The candidate laments “too much federal involvement in our lives” offering as an example the Department of Education, “should not be involved, schooling should be determined by states and localities …
“Government forcibly redefining marriage to include anything other than one man and one woman would be totally foreign to the views of the framers of the Constitution, first ten amendments and Declaration of Independence.”
Goode denies that the Founders, men of “deep-seated values,” would consider a cross on the town square or the Ten Commandments posted at school “as un-constitutional... public displays “aren’t forcing religion on anyone,
He adamantly opposed our Libyan debacle
Goode implores “following the Constitution, we can’t let the UN decide” clarifying “I don’t mind working with allies like we did in World War One and Two, but I’d never let U.S. troops serve under UN command. ...
“I’m totally opposed to illegal immigration and will put a moratorium on new Green Cards until unemployment reduces. Jobs should [go] to U.S. citizens first.” Goode would “eliminate automatic birthright citizenship”
Going the third party route is admittedly precarious ... unless living in a key battleground state, it’s unlikely your vote matters much. Likewise, for the many voters (that) might stay home, pulling the lever for Goode seems sound.

This thread on the other hand......
:-)
The people on this thread don't know how much money and help the Bambi campaign is throwing to Virgil "democrat tool" Goode and any other poser who will help reelect this nightmare of an administration.
Useful idiots is too nice a term for these folks.
Thanks for posting!
What a bunch of nonsense. The GOP platform is one of the most conservative in history. Social conservatives like Rick Santorum are thrilled with.
I'm under no delusion as to who the candidates are, my friend. Neither am I trying to fool myself into believing that Romney is in stark contrast with Obama. Voting for Romney is simply replacing a Black Mamba with a King Cobra.
Just stop. You sound like a child having a tantrum. This country has a two party system. You are not going to get your way most of the time when it comes to the party's general election candidate. That's how 2 party systems work. They are as much about defeating an opposition as getting our own side elected. I wish we had a different system sometimes to be honest. I wish we had a system that allowed for coalition building. I am not sure our winner take all, 2 party system is all that super sometimes, but it's what we've got. Most of us under 40 have never had a presidential candidate we could really be excited about voting for in a general election. For the rest, Reagan is probably it.
Don't misunderstand, I'm not voting for Obama either... but my non-vote for Romney is not a vote in favor of Obama.
You can try to convince yourself of that, but in the end, yes, you are helping enable Obama. Romney is the only ballot you can cast that has any usefulness in removing Obama from office. I know it, you know it and everyone else with a lick of sense knows it too.
You're preaching to the choir my FRiend. Republicans have made their pact with the devil, and Conservatives must abide as our own honor dictates. The R's and C's go their separate ways.
How ‘bout them Reds? Will Baker get them past the first round of the playoffs? :>)
I agree, FRiend. You don’t do evil hoping for some kind of good result.

Oh... Well... In that case. I bow to your far superior douch-baggery...
Hi xzins: I get a kick out of these threads. Thanks for pinging me.
So please get me up to speed. What is the latest evil that will befall us if we don’t vote for willard? Toads? Plagues of boils? Mayan apocalypse? The heartbreak of psoriasis?
I do get a kick out of the sense of entitlement that pervades so many of the “Any Socialist But Obama” posts. They seem to think that the gop is somehow ENTITLED to the votes of conservatives. And then act like a bunch of petulant welfare queens if they can’t convince you that willard is Our Salvation.
To keep you up to date on my completely unscientific poll of willard signs and bumper stickers in VA. Willard broke the double digit barrier earlier this week and I have him at 11. I’m not counting the “defeat mitt” sticker I saw earlier today, but I did count the willard sticker on the car with FL plates. I lost count of the hussein stickers and lawn signs, but I reckon its in the 40s.
Are you going to celebrate the end of the convention? If so, how? FRegards, RD
Hi Dead Corpse: any interesting arguments from the opposition tonite? Or just the same histrionics?
FRegards, RD
I’m not watching the convention, so it’s not affecting me one way or the other. I can’t tell you if Ann Romney wore a yellow dress or a green dress or....I just don’t know.
I know what I need to know. Romney is a homosexualist, anti-life, anti-gun, big government liberal. Any attempt to pretend he isn’t is a lie.
So, I refuse to watch the lie.
I agree that there are two teams, I just think you have the lineup wrong. On the first team we have the dems, the gop-e, hussein, willard, nasty nancy, the weeper, and dingy. I can say with 100% certainty that they’re going to win the election.
On the other side we have Everyone Else who isn’t affiliated with the first team. They’re going to lose the election.
I still pick Everyone Else.
Exactly what kind of constitutionalism is Goode a devotee of? Original intent, or "living document" textualism?
I’m greatly fortunate in that I don’t have cable. So I’ve missed the convention as well. I think the dress was red, though.
Although I’m a Virgil supporter I’m embarassed to note that I have yet to put a bumper sticker on my car. I think I’ll do that tomorrow. Seems appropriate.
“Exactly what kind of constitutionalism is Goode a devotee of? Original intent, or “living document” textualism?”
I don’t know for sure. But it would appear that he’s borrowing from the declarationist school of thought. Whether that’s his personal devotion, I guess you’d have to ask.
The same I’ve heard since Bush v. McCain...
Unappeasable. Hard liners will cost us the election. Moron.
Blah-blah-blah.
