West is not 100% pro-life.
West sees homosexuality as a lifestyle choice, and not necessarily a bad one.
West joined the Congressional Black Caucus.
West voted against defunding ObamaCare.
West voted for the Pigford black farmer reparations.
West voted repeatedly to raise the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars.
Maybe one or two of those points might be “no big deal” but taken together, they tell me that West is not for me.
Fair enough. But based on his life and experiences I think he is an asset to conservatives in Congress. The sum total of the man is what attracts me to him. Not for president maybe, but as a fundamentally decent, conservative and pro American congressman. There comes a time when we all need to accept that we have to have many bricks in the house we are building...and some may be better than others
All of the above are why he is dead to me.
Too bad, I had hopes that he would turn out to be a true conservative.
Now I see that the word “conservative” means as little as “Republican”.
“Constitutionalist” is now what is valuable - someone who adheres to Constitutional principles and sees government in that way; anything else is handbasket to hell, a bit slower or a bit faster, no matter what the label or party.
Nicely Put,He is from My district and we are continually shocked by these antics,West should NOT get comfortable in DC,The Bonehead easily turned him and that added to the dismay.
