    West also flamed the current board pretty well. Doubt they'll reward that.

So if you or anyone else wants to campaign for a replacement, have at it. I was merely passing along what I read.
      I agree, Don. I did not renew my membership after LaPierre sent the letter out referring to government officials as jackbooted thugs, trying to sensationalize things to recruit members. He just went overboard to protect "his" income stream.

        I left during the early 90s and never looked back. The scare tactics and scandals obviously work but just not for me.[emoji2961]

            How can someone be a “career candidate” if they had a career that wasn’t politics?

              People can have more than one career in their life. Simple as that. Look at West’s political career. He has one.

                A short one…
                And his other one is quite impressive.

                  His military career was impressive. That has nothing to do with his political career though. I mean, I know a few guys who retired from military service and are prospering in a 2nd career.

                  What’s the point you’re trying to make?

                  John McCain had an impressive military career too, but he also had a political career as a Senator for 31 years.


                  Would you call 31 years as a Senator a career?

                    My question is more, what’s your point you’re trying to make?
                    You are the one that said he was a career candidate…

                      Well that’s a better question than what you asked.

                      “How can someone be a “career candidate” if they had a career that wasn’t politics?”

                      I will be happy to explain why that is my opinion.

                      West served in the US House representing Florida from 2011-2013

                      He ran for Governor of Texas and lost in the primary in March of this year.

                      He was the Chair of the Texas Republican Party from 2020-2021

                      Now he’s apparently wanting to run the NRA.

                      Again IMO, he’s just looking for a place to land.
                      I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing. A man’s gotta work. He’s also a motivational speaker and is trying to stay relevant within the Republican Party. That’s why I stated imo he’s a career candidate. He hasn’t stayed anywhere long as a private citizen serving the public.

                      He may very well make a better VP for the NRA than LaPierre. I don’t know.

                        AC, I agree with you. I don’t really have anything against him, and I think he is a conservative and decent guy…just not proven and trying to find someplace in politics to land.

                          20 plus years serving his country…
                          Yea, I think he’s more than qualified…

                            “Private citizen”. I’m not talking about his distinguished military career. Wow. This is hard for some of y’all to understand


                            20 years in the military doesn’t make him “more than qualified” to be the Governor of Texas, or VP of the NRA, or anything else. God bless him for what he did serving in the military. That doesn’t always automatically translate into other aspects of life. I gave John McCain as a perfect example. Wasn’t he the reason we have Obamacare?


                            Again I’m not saying any of this as a knock against Col West.

                                So what would make one qualified?
                                What made Wayne qualified?
                                Was Trump qualified?

                                You were the one calling him a career politician…Even though he isn’t…
                                What do you have against him?
