Im 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 for which he has supported past legislation and would immediately repeal the executive order giving temporary amnesty; a stand Romney wont take.
Virgil Goode's take on immigration is that illegal immigration should be stopped at the border and that there should be no place in the US for anyone here illegally.
In fact, he believes that even legal immigration should be tied to the US jobless rate. Why bring in more to take American jobs when we are in difficult times, or why bring in those who will not find jobs and end up costing taxpayers?
I think it makes sense. Whether you like the messenger or not, it makes sense.
George and Jeb Bush, on the other hand, believe in open amnesty.
We all know that that will be Romney's position when the dust settles.

Regarding the oxymoron of same-sex marriage Goode warned, 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. Further, public displays arent forcing religion on anyone, but now certain parties wish to erase the principles on which this country was founded. He continued, In this era of relativity, weve gotten away from the Christian principles which made families stronger, gave a compass to individuals.

Goode is another in a long line of completely irrelevant 3rd party candidates. Virgil makes some great points, and so does my neighbor and the girl from the local dog-walking service - none have the slightest chance at all of every being President.

Mr. Goode will get CONSERVATIVE votes before the
RINO ROMNEY (author of DEATH PANELS).

Especially now that the GOP has given itself the power to toss out dissenting voices at the Convention.
Screw the Country. Protect the GOP at all costs...

I like him, maybe it is time to turn GOP into Whig. If not now, when? how many times do we have to hear “wait four more years”.

And if the former 'Rat Virgil Goode manages to get enough votes in Virginia to swing that state into the 'Rat electoral column, resulting in a second term for 0bama, won't you be proud of that?
Get this through your head folks, the only purpose Virgil Goode is serving in this election cycle is to divert votes away from the GOP, thereby increasing the odds for the 0bama campaign to prevail, specifically in Virginia.

The Republican Party started out as a third party you know? Think about it...how long do we let the GOPe tell us how to vote? Don’t tell me if I do that I will give the election to obama...the way I see it, the GOPe are giving the election to obama. They still have time to give us a nominee. Abraham Lincoln was NOT the presumptive nominee you know?

Just another Akin. Goode can say the right things, but he will marginalize his views through his actions. By running in states like VA, he makes an Obama victory more likely and of course, Obama is diametrically opposed to liberty. By making it harder for Romney to win, the less consideration will be given to people like Goode that opposed the GOP.
But, I guess the point is for Goode to destroy the conservative movement by dividing it.

Fine. You go vote for bigger government and less freedom. Just don’t pretend to be “fighting the good fight”.

Which of the following is CONSERVATIVE:
Goode is pro-life and Romney is pro-abortion for “health” of mother, a position that covers everything from colds to sore muscles.
Goode is for natural marriage and Romney is for gay couples, gay adoption, gay boy scouts, and a gay military
Goode is against illegal immigration and Romney won’t talk about it, but Jeb Bush says he should be for it.
Goode is for auditing the Fed and Romney is for letting the financial cronies run the country
Goode is for the right to keep and bear arms and Romney is for bi-partisan gun control legislation
Goode is for individual responsibility and Romney is for Big Government health care
Goode is for cutting spending and Romney is for a plan that cut’s the rate of spending, and assuming 4% growth for 30 years will end up with a balanced budget.
Goode is for eliminating the Dept of Education and Romney is for keeping it.

There are at least 4 candidates, but there are millions of voters.
Some voters will have pretend conservative votes, and others will actually vote conservative.
Goode a real conservative.
Romney a real liberal.

You’re right, but as soon as you bring up numbers to a turd party fan, they immediately zone out. Hell, there are even idiots here who call Timmy the Halfling a “candidate.”

LMAO, and really throw your vote away.
"You are either with the forces of liberty and Constitutional governance, or you are with the forces of bigger government and subservience."
For this election coming up, that train has already left the station. The bottom line goal is to get rid of 0bama, and if we fail to do that, his second term will see the destruction of what is left of America. The GOP ticket of Romney & Ryan is the only vehicle for preventing that.

A vote for Goode is a vote for Obama. Don’t put your silly principal in front of your country.

I agree. The train has left the station. It's snowing, visibility is zero, and the bridge it out.
Who the conductor is no longer matters.
