Did anyone notice that the map behind Mr. Goode's face was of WEST VIRGINIA? Mr. Goode is a former senator from VIRGINIA. The two states have been separated since 1863. I hope there is a correction in tonight's broadcast of THE LAST WORD.
What a foolish commentary this was. Obama is in trouble because of Europe? More like he is in trouble because he is insisting on marching us in the same reckless borrowing and domestic spending for social welfare programs and goverhment employment and socialized medicine that the PIGS of Southern Europe have practiced sending their national bond interest rates soaring, and lowering their credit rating while robbing from the private sector economies. That's the very path Obama has set us on, we are right up there now with Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain that have had to have ECB (similiar to our Federal Reserve) address the need for austerity programs in those nations to ease the situation of dragging down the whole European economy (except for Germany, the most fiscally conservative and sound of all the continental countries), and sinking the Euro to low levels, courting higher inflation.
And to label Romney has having problems with all the spurious lying thru their teeth attacks by the Obama campaign is ridiculous. As to the problems in Virginia, this 3rd party clown is going nowhere by November, as the real campaign for the Presidency begins post the major Party's conventions at the end of this month and early next month, and this guy won't be on the all important debate stages during the real campaign when Romney pins Barracks Jumbo sized ears (no slur on the Rebublican mascot) against his Nationalist Socialist nonsense filled head!
It's the economy...and the fiscal situation, and the energy situation, and the defense situation, and the waste and inefficiency but high cost of ObamaCare that the voters will be paying attention to, and the media and citizen questioners in the debates will be focusing on. Obama won't be able to distract and run away from his atrocious record there!
"This 3rd party clown"? Keith. I resent that. I am part of the Constitution Party. You may know some things, but you better educate youself on the constitution, bill of rights and such alot more than you have.
"real campaign for the presidency"? o.k..... I concur with you on what you state about what needs to be done with regards to our economy with out question.
I like what Goode says about getting our unemployment down to under 5%. I don't know how long it will take, not an overnight situation for sure. But to say as George Jr said, "jobs that americans won't do"? really? I say there are jobs i wouldn't do, but if the situation required, and when a man has to provide for his family he will do "jobs that the americans won't do". JR was a incompetant president and yet obama makes him look like a rocket scientist. sad isn't it?
There is a lot of un-nice things I could have said about you as I have a certian disposition, but I help represent a classy party. Have you even read what they stand for? constitutiionparty.com you are a rude person.
Romney is in as much trouble because of this guy as he is with Rosanne Bar running on the Socialist ticket for President. What a joke of an article. Fail!!!!
Obama fail. right? goode........... ; )
That woman can't say professional as she shoved in personal views into a news segment is not very good, no wonder she is working for who she is working for.
