IPR reported, two days ago, that former Congressman Virgil Goode of Virginia had joined the Constitution Party. The story swept the blogosphere over the next couple of hours. However, it appears Goode has not left the GOP, even while acknowledging that he has joined the Constitution Party. In Virginia there is no registration by political party, so party identification is largely determined by public statements and payment of dues to the respective organizations–Goode is currently a dues paying member of both the National Constitution Party and the Franklin County GOP. Goode says he sees no conflict, in an interview with a local paper he said, “I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive”. Goode went on to explain that he agrees more with the CP than the GOP on certain issues.
Goode said that he has not quit the Republican Party and is current on his membership dues with the Franklin County GOP.
The Constitution Party, Goode said, has staked out several positions that Goode feels are superior to the platform of the national Republican Party.
The Constitution Party recently adopted a resolution praising Arizona for enacting a law that requires police officers to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect might be in the country illegally.
“On some national issues, the Constitution Party is much better than the Republican Party,” he said. “The Constitution Party passed a resolution supporting Arizona’s new policies on illegal immigrants. I have yet to see such a resolution come out of the Republican Party.”
Goode said he also prefers the Constitution Party’s stance on trade agreements. The GOP, he noted, is fairly absolute in its support for free trade agreements. The Constitution Party, meanwhile, supports withdrawing from the North American Free Trade Agreement and other international trade agreements.
Furthermore, the Constitution Party wants to abolish the U.S. Department of Education and repeal all legislation related to education, as the party believes the federal government lacks the Constitutional jurisdiction to be involved with education. Goode said he supports the Constitution Party’s views on education, whereas the national GOP does not.
Despite his new membership with the Constitution Party, Goode tamped down speculation that he might run for his old congressional seat as a Constitution Party candidate. Goode said he is not planning to run for his former seat as a Constitution Party candidate or for any other party.
In another article, though, Goode does not rule out a run for his old seat as a Constitution Party nominee.
His joining the Constitution Party has raised speculation he’s thinking of challenging Tom Perriello for his old seat.
Previously Goode has said he will not seek the Republican nomination.
When asked if he can be ruled out of the November election, Goode said, “I’m not saying flat out 100-percent no. I want to see how things develop.”
Goode says he’s been impressed with some GOP candidates, but unimpressed with others.
That last statement has led some to assume that if an “unimpressive” GOP candidate wins, Goode is likely to jump into the race.
Cody is a fake, as is the (so called) ‘California Constitution Party ‘…………..
No, Post # 31 is a fake; I could tell by how the initials for the AIP are not capitalized.
yet another fake post by don grundmann please disregard any posts he has nothing to do with the aip
” Fake ” is yet another fake name used by the ultra corrupt Mark Seidenberg whose personal corruption, as with Mark Robinson ( the most corrupt Governor candidate in the history of the state ), is documented at TheCorruptionOfAlanKeyes.blogspot.com.
Don J. Grundmann, D.C. Vice-Chairman American Independent Party, California branch of the Constitution Party
Please disregard any comments by fake poster Don Grundmann…he is anot part of the AIP and is posting hateful messages Markham Robinson for governor 2010!! CA Vote for an honest man thank you
As usual ” The Fool ” is a mouthpiece for Mark Seidenberg who continues his practice of posting multiple lies under multiple fake names. He, as with his fellow liars Mark Robinson and Ed Noonan, is a total coward who will not debate but instead writes continuous lies under continuous fake names. Totally pathetic but yet totally in line with the actions of ” The Fool,” a total nitwit who sits on his own butt and then attacks those working to save the state and nation. No surprise that ” The Fool ” supports the criminal liars Robinson, Seidenberg, and Noonan. Turds of a feather….

Chelene Nightingale for Governor campaign is rife with fraud. Please do not donate to this. The money donated is used to live on by these people. Read about Chelene Nightingales activities with the Minutemen and other radical groups. She is a slick con trying to dupe people that this is a real campaign. THE AIP American Independent party Does NOT want her to run under their title. She has bullied her way to get on the primary ballot. Charles manson would be a better candidate than her.

Chelene Nightingale for governor has NO experience in running anything other than a Protest Group on street corners. She was* with sos a quasi hate group against immigrants. Please, this is a joke candidate right? lol We need real solutions not TIME WASTERS> THANKS
* before being tossed out on her ear!
” shut up nut grundman “/ a.k.a. Mark Seidenberg – You continue your pathetic ways of writing nitwit idiotic comments under fake names. Just another illustration of how sick and truly pathetic you are.
Don J. Grundmann, D.C. Vice-Chairman American Independent Party, California branch of the Constitution Party
WE DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR LIES!! Just shut up you fake…seek mental help everything you DONT WANT TO HEAR you label lies…what are yoyu 4 years old?? You act like an ass Not a man…..BE A MAN JERK
to ” The Fool ” – Despite Paulies report ( and your nitwit imagination ) there are no serious considerations of any state leaving the CP. There are a small number of teed off persons but nothing will come of it. In contrast and as usual I do not see ” The Fool ” discussing the criminal acts of those who deliberately filed false documents with the California Secretary of State office. ” The Fool ” attacks the CP but then calls outright criminals and liars ” patriots,” even as those ” patriots ” support actions harmful of the armed services of our nation; the very people that ” The Fool ” claims to represent.

Gee when I complained in August 2009 about Chelene not being know in San Bernardino / San Bernardino County I guess I was 100% correct!
How did Pastor Chuck Baldwin do on the AIP California ballot in P2008 ????????
When did the California Constitution Party form, if ever ??????
How is that rock solid CP doing ?????????
oh, an independent field report:
paulie // May 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm
2) There are no ” considerations ( of leaving the CP ) by other states. —— Cory ‘Making It Up as I go along’ Quirk
False. I (paulie) attended a meeting a few weeks ago where several state and county chairs of the CP, including some who are not recognized as such by national, and some who (as far as I know) still are, considered leaving the CP. While they decided not to do so at this time, they are still not happy with the national leadership and may end up leaving. I’m woefully late in providing my field report on this, but I’ll be housesitting without much else to do starting tomorrow for about a week or so, so it’ll be forthcoming.”
So zealous that you have to continually lie about things ………..
Warning! Both Don Grundmann and Jim King
have not been on the State Central Committee
of the American Independent Party since September 2, 2008. Don Grundmann has never
been Vice Chairman of the American Independent Party.
Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman,
American Independent Party, affliated with the
America’s Independent Party since June 27, 2008.
true, but it was still funny
ha ha , Cody that was funny…
= Really? I was simply describing him in accuracy, that’s all.
Mattc – You can see from the above comment of The Fool how sick and psychotic he is. You can find the narrative of and the truth regarding the criminals that The Fool endorses at TheCorruptionOfAlanKeyes.blogspot.com. I have challenged the corruption of The Fool; most notibly regarding his support for attacks of the homosexual community upon the children of our nation. It was for this action that The Fool seeks revenge inclusive of his nitwit writings to various government agencies and his support of the Alan Keyes criminal corruption faction of the AIP.
Don J. Grundmann, D.C. Vice-Chairman American Independent Party, California branch of the Constitution Party
personally written to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to have my license taken away.
[and has contacted California’s Secretary of State (as top election official) and California’s Franchise Tax Board and the federal Internal Revenue Service.]
he is a mouthpiece for and supporter of the extremely corrupt criminal Alan Keyes faction which is attacking the AIP.
[oh, while the official P2008 ballot access top of the ticket candidate for the California American Independent Party ?????? (Huh, Duh ????) ]
The corruption of the Keyes faction of the AIP is acting non-stop to sanitize their criminal actions, destroy the 3rd party conservative movement in our nation,
[oh that sounds much more like Nightingale, Lussienhaus, Jim King, Cody, and Grundmann]
spokesman for their faction and works to endorse, legitimize, and advance their corruption I must correct the lies which are continually put out against the CP
[‘lies’ which are quite varifiable]
and the non-corruption faction of the AIP
[oh, that would be Noonan, Siedenberg, Robinson ……….]
Don J. Grundmann, D.C. [is not the] Vice-Chairman American Independent Party,
California branch of the Constitution Party
[does not exist and never has ……..]
[Cody is irritating, but Grundmann is literally dangerous, perhaps lethally]
Mattc – Perhaps you are correct but I am quite annoyed with those who attack AIP candidates and the CP itself with no basis in fact and with absolutely outrageous allegations. I will not let such outrageous attacks and lies go unchallenged even when they come from The Fool. Additionally The Fool has personally written to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to have my license taken away. Of course nothing came of it because of the sheer and utter idiocy of the action but I address his moronicness both because of this and because he is a mouthpiece for and supporter of the extremely corrupt criminal Alan Keyes faction which is attacking the AIP. The corruption of the Keyes faction of the AIP is acting non-stop to sanitize their criminal actions, destroy the 3rd party conservative movement in our nation, and to continue and expand their criminal enterprise. Since The Fool is an unofficial spokesman for their faction and works to endorse, legitimize, and advance their corruption I must correct the lies which are continually put out against the CP and the non-corruption faction of the AIP.

Don Lake = Retardation, Schizophrenia, paranoia, bi-polar disorder, pathological liar, loser, loner, etc………….

It is very unbecoming of a highly ranked party official to bicker with an insane troll online. I would just like to point that out.
I need help.
1) Don Lake has ” been saying these things ” because he is a fool. 2) TheCorruptionOfAlanKeyes.blogspot.com explains who the true officers of the AIP are. 3) Robinson, Seidenberg, and Noonan are traitors to the nation. They are agents of their master of corruption, Alan Keyes, and the power which controls him. For The Fool Don Lake to declare these documented liars and cowards as ” patriots ” shows what a fool and open supporter of corruption that he indeed is. 4) The ” indifferent and neglectful false veterans advocacy ” is by The Fool Don Lake himself. The CP veterans group has been consistently working to advance the interests of veterans in all aspects. 5) The failure of Baldwin to be on the California ballot was caused by traitors Robinson, Seidenberg, and Noonan deliberately committing fraud and filing false documents with the California Secretary of State office; corruption which The Fool Don Lake openly approves of.

Morgan Brykein // May 6, 2010:
“……… the Constitution Party actually believes in smaller government and the Constitution ……..”
Lake: since when ?????????? R U confusing reality and ‘smoke and mirrors’ ??????????
Then why has Don Lake been saying these things (shakey ethics, bogus veterans outreach, and GOP Lite) about CP since 2003 ?????????
I also urged Space Cadet Captain Cody Banks Quirk and Doctor Donald J. Grundmann to back off and modify their P2008 boast (EMPTY) that Pastor Chuck Baldwin would be the one and only top of the ticket on the California ballot of THEN TRUNCATED affiliation with American Independence Party.
And not only is Gruntman not the AIP VP, but there is no Constitution Party of California. The duty elected/ appointed state election official, the REAL American Independence Party, and 99% of the ‘West Coast’ voting public KNOW that such is a non existence entity.
If patriots Robinson, Noonan, Seideman are out to tear down the unconstitutional Constitution Party, then why is CP national doing such an efficient job them selves ??????? Baldwin, failure to state on the Texas and California ballots, present disaffection in a half a dozen other states, indifferent and neglectful false veterans advocacy. These are all on the head or door step of the self destructing CP!
deform / reform movement, 2000
National Law Party, 2004
Constitution Party, 2008
Don Lake, of comment #2 above, is a supporter of and shill for the corruption faction of the American Independent Party in California which is fighting the REAL AIP, the non-corruption faction. The leaders of the corruption faction, inclusive of the current fake ” Chairman ” Mark Robinson, are Republican Party moles working to destroy the conservative 3rd party movement in the nation. Their corruption is documented at TheCorruptionOfAlanKeyes.blogspot.com. It is the corruption faction, led by Robinson, which is working to make the AIP into ” GOP lite ” in their plan to attack the 3rd party conservative movement. Hence comment #2 is yet another lie from this faction to achieve their goal.
Don J. Grundmann, D.C. Vice-Chairman American Independent Party, California branch of the Constitution Party
Unlike the GOP, the Constitution Party actually believes in smaller government and the Constitution.
Yep, CP as merely GOP lite, been saying it for years. Thx for the confirmation! In Texas and California AIP is a better fit for non GOPers!
I appreciate the follow-up story to answer any doubts as to whether he had joined or if it was a rumor. If there are GOP’ers reading this site, please examine Goode’s statements on those issues and see if you agree that the Constitution Party is in line with your beliefs as well.
