Try adding substance to that.
You said “Educate yourself on Col Allen West and make an informed decision”
What do we need to educate ourselves with? There’s obviously something you don’t like about the man. What is it?
Kermit the frog would be better than Wayne.Dang guys…y’all need to both chill. I will straddle the fence because I know you both and y’all are a lot more alike than different IMO. I actually can see both sides here. Well, except where Rubi says Kermit the Frog would be better than Wayne. 🤔 I mean, he would obviously spend less money on himself but I’m not sure he’s really qualified for the job. 😂Originally posted by AntlerCollector View PostAGAIN!!!! I “haven’t added any substance to why he wouldn’t be a good candidate” because I’m not convinced he wouldn’t be a good candidate. I have no idea if he would be good or not. I’ve stated this repeatedly. I can only explain it to you, I can’t understand it for you. Please try to have an open mind and re-read my comments on here. At this point your a broken record wanting me to prove something I don’t believe. Hopefully you can convince the board to vote for Kermit I guess
The bottom line is Wayne needs to be held accountable. He’s basically a poster child for political (politicians on the take) term limits. I stopped financing his escapades and lifestyle years ago. I will throw a monkey wrench in this and say that the NRA WAS the best org for gun owners for many years but like a lot of things, it has changed. Until it is reformed I will support other orgs like GOA.
As for West, I personally really, REALLY liked him before his mishandling (IMO) of his wife’s traffic stop. While he had every right to defend his wife’s honor, he could have handled it with a little more humility. Yes, the arresting officer screwed up but so did Mrs West.
To me, it’s odd how he seems to try too hard to stay relevant and in the public eye. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing….just an observation.Comment

He might be right about Kermit. He definitely would spend less money on clothes.

The only thing I can "add" to this conversation is that a 20 year career (or longer) in the military does not "automatically" qualify anyone for an executive position. I can give you several examples of "distinguished" military guys who have recently demonstrated that this is NOT the case when it comes to public office or executives... John McCain and Dan Crenshaw are the first two that come to mind...
The military career does give one an indication that they can follow orders and be an "organizer" but hey, Obama was good at those two! So outside the military career of West, I don't know siccum from com'ere about him other than when he tried to strong arm the police because they hammered his wife on a traffic stop... and a stop that was because she was in the wrong and in violation... He didn't show very good judgement and tactical skills in that situation... imagine if the lefties were out protesting his event and he was running the NRA... He could apply some of that Iraqi interrogation technique or fixing his wife's ticket to them...
...I'm jus' sayin'... Since I told the NRA to go suck eggs and stopped supporting them a few years back, I guess technically I have no dog in this fight...

Well said Charlie, I’m a life member of the TSRA, but the NRA will never get another penny from me until until there’s major changes. I’m surprised they are still in business. I guess it’s because constant scare tactics work. They learned that from the democratsComment

I saw this on the TexasHuntingForum. It's very interesting and worth the read. Now whether or not it's legitimate I have no idea, but if it is it speaks to what's become of the NRA.

NRA board re-elected LaPierre by a vote of 54-1 over West. Yikes!Last edited by JRL; 05-30-2022, 12:24 PM.Comment

LaPierre is an entrenched criminal, and many of those on the board who continue to vote to keep him in power are just as bad. The NRA's days are numbered if LaPierre continues to lead it. IMHO, he will eventually go to prison, some of the board members with him. It's just disgusting what has happened.Originally posted by JRL View Post

Not surprised at all he would have been a much worse leader. What angers me is that was the best option the organization came up with. Makes me wonder is the NRA similar to the federal government with an establishment situation firmly in place.Originally posted by JRL View PostComment
