Daily Show host Jon Stewart featured a clip of Virgil Goode VA-05 driving a Hummer in a recent 4th of July parade in a segment entitled "Rappers or Republicans".
The show aired July 29 at 11 p.m.
The clip is one of the funniest I personally have seen in a while from the show.
Virgil, keep it up and you will defeat yourself this election cycle!

We have an opportunity to change America this election cycle and we need to be very aware of the power we hold as voters and as Americans. It is all fine and good with hoping for change, but anything worth having is rarely easy to come by.

We are all aware of the results of today’s Stalinist administration in such areas as foreign policy, economic development, human rights and education, and although we may have different viewpoints many things can not be denied.

I find it ludicrous how many Republicans attempt to tie themselves to the spirit of founding father Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, born to the land-owner class in Virginia, used his status to champion working families and prevent all forms of tyranny in government. A fact lost on Republican legislators.

Recently when Virgil Goode VA-05 wrote a letter to John McCain’s staff endorsing Eric Cantor VA-07 for the Vice Presidential position, I was compelled to research Cantor and his record. What I uncovered came as no surprise to me, based on the fact Goode recommends him.

When H R 3221 reached the House floor yesterday, only 45 Republicans voted for the measure.
Even "Emperor Dubya" had backed down so the legislation would not face a veto fight if passed.
Is the legislation the end all, be all for financially trouble homeowners? The answer is no, but then what bill has ever been passed that was perfect? It is a start, and that is the best forward looking people can hope for.

Virgil Goode continues with his partisan politics and finger pointing in his most recent edition of "Goode News"

The main thing preventing the United States from drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico is the majority leadership of the House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate.
On July 10 th, 43 House Republicans, including me, wrote to the President, urging him to lift the Executive moratorium on offshore drilling. Subsequently, President Bush did lift the executive order on such drilling. Last month, the President called on Congress to work with him to lift this 17-year-old moratorium jointly. Congress failed to act, so the President did his part. In increasing numbers, the American public is calling for our country to make use of its own natural resources, even as we work diligently to develop alternative forms of energy. These alternative energy sources will help the U. S. lessen sharply its dependence on petroleum-based products produced by foreign nations, many of which are not friendly to us. In some cases, we are sending billions of dollars each year to nations that sponsor terrorists. We must stop this; it is past time for Congress to act and lift its part of the moratorium.

Well, well, well, Jim Gilmore and his staff are at it again. Accusing Mark Warner of being a liar is about all his campaign has in its arsenal. That’s a bit like the pot calling the kettle black don’t you think?

Gilmore or rather "Drillmore" can’t get the facts straight, but then damn the facts and full steam ahead with the stupidity of the Virginia Republican Party.

"When you look at Warner’s disdain for the truth, it makes you think that you are watching the Jim Carrey move "Liar, Liar," said Gilmore spokesperson Ana Gamonal, who pointed out that in 2005 then Gov. Mark Warner vetoed legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly that called for lifting the ban on offshore drilling. Warner was cited by the Sierra Club for the veto of offshore drilling.

Following is a transcript from Monday July 7, 2008 of the speech I gave as a local union leader.

Tom Perriello is the Democratic challenger for the 5th Congressional District, currently held by Republican Virgil Goode.

Perriello announced a 22 county Jobs Tour and a 7-point economic revival plan. Goode, who has yet to come to Martinsvill-Henry County to actually talk to area residents has called the plan "all fluff and no substance".

From a man that has proven himself to be George Bush's lap dog, Goode's comments carry no weight in the Southside.

From the steps of the old Historic Court House at 11 a.m. Monday, July 7, Democratic Congressional challenger Tom Perriello will announce a 7-point economic plan.

Joining Perriello will be area Union leaders and some folks displaced by plant closings, job outsourcing and layoffs.

Perriello's visit comes just after American of Martinsville announced it will layoff 400 workers at the end of August.

Which John McCain are we supposed to believe? It seems to this blogger that he has shown so many faces he makes Sybil look sane.

He rants when retired Gen. Wes Clark makes the comment "riding around in a jet fighter and getting shot down," isn't, " a qualification to be President."

When Jim Webb (D-Va) calls on him to "simmer down", McCain and his camp scream conspiracy. Yet he doesn't have a problem taking money from the same "Swift Boaters" he denounced in 2003-4.

With one face he tells supporters he is a "mavrick" and has America's best interests at heart, but with the other one he threatens to have Union members arrested for protesting his record against working families.

The Virginia Republicans are actually saying that Jim Gilmore has a chance to be the next Senator from the Commonwealth. Delusional as this seems, they have focused their attention on 3 talking points:
1 - Energy Policy
2 - Tax Policy
3 - John McCain

That is what Jim Gilmore says on his Senate Campaign's Official Blog. Just more of the same drivel he keeps spouting that has no basis whatsoever in fact.
From the U.S. Geological Surveys own reports, any oil from offshore drilling would be decades away from impacting the consumer market. I ask you....does this "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less." mentality make sense to you?
Gilmore, along with other Republicans including Rep. Virgil H. Goode also of Virginia think drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge is another great idea.
Once again they ignore the U.S.G.S. and it's assessment of drilling in ANWR. In their report they estimate there is a mean total of 7.7 billion barrels of extractable oil in ANWR. The catch? Yes, there is a catch. It is tainted with sulfur and paraffin and would cost approximately 3 times normal to refine into usable petroleum products! and again a minimum of 10 years to reach the market.
Maybe it's time for us to send Gilmore and Goode into retirement since neither one seems to be able to grasp the truth.
