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.
America elected a guy in 2008 with ‘zero’ experience, I submit that EV would do a helluva better job than the Kenyan douchebag, but that’s just me.
We’re headed for more than the average political cataclysm in November, we’ve got the illegitimate Marxist regime of 0bamugabe vs what appears to be the liberal ‘socialist-lite’ challenge of Mitt-Witt. The ‘Rats are driving America towards the cliff of destruction at 100 mph, the RINO Party is offering to take their foot off the accelerator and reduce our speed to a thrifty 55 mph.
The sell outs who are all slobbering about Romney fail to understand that IF elected, Romney will be in the White House for EIGHT years (assuming he doesn’t keel over or something), because he would have to totally screw up in every way to surpass the standard of ‘FAIL’ that has been set by the Kenyan usurper. Romney will easily win renomination in 2016. Those thinking they can dump him in favor of a more conservative candidate after one term are engaging in the worst kind of political opium smoking with the hookah fully inserted.
An open convention complete with floor fights and challenges to the coronation of Romney? As desirable as the prospect is, it isn’t likely to happen.
My view?
Stock up on guns, ammo, and all the survival gear you can find.
Are they?
Goode thinks entitlements are not only constitutional, but sacrosanct when it comes to balancing the budget.
And, like many Ron Paul/CP types, his first target for budget-cutting is the defense budget.
Is that "all conservative"?
As for me, the defense budget is at the bottom of the list, not at the top, for any potential cuts.
And, along with the father of our Constitution, James Madison, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
There are other serious questions about what it is that Mr. Goode represents.
Does he agree with the party whose standard he now carries in its extreme isolationist positions? Does he want to pull our support for Israel, for example, like they do?
These are not unimportant questions.
