Former Congressman Allen West is running to unseat Wayne LaPierre as head of the National Rifle Association. It is way past time for LaPierre to be put out to pasture, but it is way past time for conservatism to excommunicate Allen West. He is a grifting parasite on the conservative movement and if he leads the NRA someone will need to put a pillow over the NRA and put it out of its misery.
Thank you for saying this. I have always found him, even when I agree with him, to be a robotic humorless jerk. And in politics, not being a robotic humorless jerk matters.
This is unfortunate. Yet as you have pointed out—and I believe Rush said similar things—only conservatives police themselves. West began well. Too bad he is finishing so poorly…..
I liked the pillow reference, i.e., putting the NRA out of its misery. Whether a subtle-yet-clever reference to another conservative "Whisky Tango Foxtrot" (Mike Lindell) or merely a Freudian slip, it made me laugh out loud!
I was pleasantly surprised when West won my home district in north Broward County in Fla in 2010. A 1-termer. Always be suspicious of a helicopter official--one who never stays the coarse on any project or position, but hops around. "What are they running from?" is the first thought that comes to my mind.
The cream always rises to the top, as does a dead body! Mr. West should take his money and fade away. I am a avid 2nd Amendment supporter and a life member of the NRA, but, I now donate my money on the state level. The NRA leadership got to big and rich for it's high priced britches.
Both need to go away, they're both worthless and take credit for work that other people or organizations did, like the GA constitutional carry bill.

This is news to me. Thanks for the update.
You opened my eyes on West. I knew a little, but you gave us a lot. Thank you and Blessings to you.
I had no idea he was such a disaster. They both need to go. Neither is serving the party well. Tom Greene
