GOP-e candidates like Landen, Willkie, Dewey, Nixon (in his first run), Goldwater, Ford, Bush, Dole, McCain ~ have a remarkable history of LOSING ~ and always lose to a more Conservative Democrat ~ or Democrat who stakes a claim to Conservative values (real or imagined) and goes unchallenged by the Republican candidate.

Romney is another one of those GOP-losers!

There were 16 candidates who formally notified the RNC they were running. ONLY 3 were lifelong Conservative Republicans.

The other 13 served only to make the GOP-e candidate ~ Romney ~ look good. Otherwise his 22% voting strength would have seemed remarkably anemic!

Next time we need to run 35 to 100 Conservatives ~ they should be able to suck up all the votes leaving the GOP-e crowd out of the running from the get-go!

The forces of evil have been shooting and killing for quite some time. The revolution has always been ‘on’.

Virgil Goode is a former Democrat, and Goode is the best friend Obama has ever had. Only a fool would support Goode. (But I am betting lots of Obama supporters will figure out ways to contribute to Goode’s campaign!)

Yep - I think "Ross Perot" when folks bring out this guy's name as the one they'll vote for in order to "stand by their principles". We have been infiltrated by morons who want to pull a Neville" and allow the current threat to flourish - the problem is there is no one left to pull our bacon out of the fire for such a historic "misjudgement".

Mr. RomneyCARE, partner of SOROS, and author of DEATHpanels,
is helping Obama.

techno, tell him to withdraw now.
He cannot win because America hates ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.

Not what I said. If we are to take advantage of the lessons learned in the Romney primaries what we have to do is round up more than enough candidates to clog the system.

I don't think that's a problem for us ~ certainly wasn't for Romney and his associates.

The "fat is in the fire" because Team Romney
including Romney's latest fling, Condi Rice,
SUPPORTED OBAMA.

Would you support a murderer, too?
Would you help a rapist, too?
Never forget how we got here, due to TEAM ROMNEY.

I would support anyone w a legit chance to oust Obama, including a murderer. Goode has zero chance of ousting Obama and is a gift from the heavens for a zero second term, as are the ABR wing of obamas electoral coalition.

Roomney isn’t lackluster. He’s a left wing elitist that opposes everything conservatives believe in.

No, non-looneytune logic. A vote for a candidate that will receive under 1% of the vote is a vote for a Communist.

By your logic, a vote for a leftist of either major party is two votes for a leftist.

Ping.

This news from Virginia is very positive for Virgil Goode. It will garner his some attention that is sorely needed, whether from friend or foe.

Hopefully, he can parlay it into more support in other states and a place in the debates.

After all, he is the only conservative in the racd.

Anyone that isn't pro-abortion, anti-gun, and a big government liberal.

Say your favorite breakfast cereal, decides to add marshmallows and load up on the sugar, and no longer offers what it once did.

You go to the store and find another cereal, made by a company you’ve never heard of, that is similar to your old cereal.

Which would you place in your cart when you shop for the day?

I would unhesitatingly buy the one that suited my own preference, and those who like the changed cereal would buy that.

In the marketplace I “vote” with my own money for the production of the things which suit me, and my “vote" is effective in giving the manufacturer credit for providing what I want, and keeping that company in business making that product. And the fact that other people support the manufacture of products I don’t want is largely irrelevant.

The difference in the two cases is that unless you succeed in seceding from the union, the country will have only one president, and you are lucky if your vote helps the least unacceptable candidate win. Democracy is utterly incapable of providing a principled way of selecting among more than two candidates. In any multiple candidate case in which only a plurality exists, the second or third place finisher might be more acceptable to all than the first place finisher is.
A vote is a blunt instrument, especially in comparison with a market.

I like Virgil Goode, I also like our own Tom Hoefling (Eternal Vigilance), it would be great to see BOTH of them get some time in a national forum, unfortunately our unelected and unaccountable media (combined with the institutional elites in both the ‘Rat and RINO parties), make that virtually impossible, to the greater loss of our Republic.

While EV seems like a nice guy, he has absolutely zero experience.

Goode is a many time congressman, he is known throughout Virginia after a senatorial race, and his positions are all conservative.

He is the only experienced conservative in the race. Expecting some freeper to get traction is a little pie-in-the-sky. Goode, on the other hand, is polling well in a swing state, and if he can parlay that into coverage, then there is an outside shot that he actually could get into the debates.

The more support he draws from Romney, the more he injures Romney’s chances, the more he forces conservatives to realize that united they have the numbers to win a plurality vote in a 3-way race if they unite behind a real conservative.
