Rep. Congressman Virgil Goode and Dem. challenger Tom Perriello faced off for the first time on August 13th in a forum that demonstrated the wide gap between the two of them - especially when it comes to immigration policy. Virgil has repeatedly touted his fence: "There's no way a 12 foot ladder will cross this fence."
A little help of some visual aids would be useful in understanding Virgil's complex "3 tier" fence policy that was outlined in 5 parts?
"Its a three tier fence:
1. Fence Here, 2. Roadway Here, 3. Barrier Here, 4. Road Here, 5. Fence Here."
When it came to issues like health care and Virgil's favorite topic - earmarks- the debate was just as lively.
Finally, Virgil Goode went on an attack of the new majority of Democratic "mushers" in Congress. He pointed his finger directly at the "Obamamajority list" which Tom is a part of. Turns out, the Obamamajority he was attacking turned out to be a 14 year old blogger. I'm just praying that he doesn't go after someone's Nanna in a tirade at the next debate.
The next showdown between these two which is going to be on September 3rd from 7:30 - 9:00 pm at UVA's Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.
