Texas GOP Allen West


?s=20

This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans, if a Dem said something like this the Reps would be talking about this and linking every Democrat to this...they would be talking about it so much that the MSM would start asking every Democrat they interview if they believe in this....political commercials would be made tying Democratic candidates to this message

I guess my point is that Democrats need to be talking about this and tying Republicans (i.e lloefler and Purdue) to this

It's time he was held responsible for his treachery. What the GOP does next says a lot.

Don’t know how we got stuck with him.

Allen Bernard West (born February 7, 1961)[2] is an American politician, retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, and political commentator. A member of the Republican Party, West represented Florida's 22nd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2011 to 2013 and has served as Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas since 2020.

West was deployed to Kuwait in 1991 and Iraq in 2003. In 2003, West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi policeman, with West firing a gun near the Iraqi man's head during an interrogation. After an Article 32 hearing was held, West accepted non-judicial punishment, was fined $5,000, and allowed to retire as a lieutenant colonel.[3][4] After leaving the military, West moved to Florida, where he taught at a high school for a year and worked for a defense contractor, part of this time spent in Afghanistan as a civilian adviser to the Afghan National Army.

He has all my Tumpster neighbors sporting Trump signs that make reference to The Storm. I wonder if they even know what it means?

6. I agree with your point, tag them as the anti-democracy party. Broadbrush the motherfuckers.

There are so many differences between the two parties now that it's starker now than perhaps ever.
Even our sources and definitions of truth and fact are diverging like matter after the big bang.

They'll be forming a "confederacy."

They already have a flag. Mr. West might recognize it.
