But Col. West is.
Well, FINALLY.
I have been reading the posts all morning and see nothing but the usual "xxxxxxxx candidate will split the vote" crap. It is as if only a front running conservative candidate could possibly split a voting block. ANY candidate can split a voting block or hasn't anyone here noticed little bammy is totally unopposed? You hardy here of a rumor of any opposition. So much for “conservative split the vote.”
Not to mention the flood of "Rick Perry has warts but he is better than xxxxxxxxx" posts. Or the "we must beat little bammy therefore we must not have a true conservative candidate" BS.
Then there is the usual pointing at a MSM poll that is so cagey about their polling process it renders the results meaningless to the general public. It is reliably accompanied by the claim that it "proves" something or another.
None of that has motivated me to even touch the keyboard. It is all the same dog-chasing-tail routine from `08.
No thanks, BT-DT.
I understand Lieutenant Colonel West has stated "he is not ready." I can certainly sympathize with that. But timing is never perfect. I believe he also stated he does not know of anyone "strong enough" to run as her VP. Since he has the apparently rare ability to actually see this he seems to be the sole candidate for the job.
And then there is the “interrogation incident.”
At his preliminary hearing, West acknowledged he allowed two soldiers to beat an Iraqi policeman who refused to reveal details of an ambush plot and fired his pistol near the man's head, threatening to kill him.
As WorldNetDaily reported, under threat of an attack, West took charge of the interrogation of an Iraqi policeman, Yahya Jhodri Hamoody, determined to flush out details as he warned subordinates "it could get ugly." Threatening to kill the Iraqi if he didn't talk, West fired a pistol near the policeman's head.
The scared policeman then immediately disclosed the information, leading to the arrest of two Iraqis last August and cessation of attacks on West's 4th Infantry Division battalion.
At the hearing last month, West was asked by his defense attorney if he would do it again.
"If it's about the lives of my men and their safety, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can," he said.
"But that's what's going on out there in the streets here, and that's how I feel about my boys," he told the hearing, held in one of Saddam Hussein's lavish palaces. "There is not a person in this room I would not sacrifice my life for."
Wow. The horror. Someone in politics that actually busted a live cap on a protected class p.o.s.
Yea, better not encourage THAT guy to begin preparations for stepping up in his nation's dire time of need, huh?
Let's go for some “safe” PC correct windsock, right?
Uhhh, NO.
The time is here to put some fighters on the job. Some that are known to tell the donks they are commie pukes and below contempt but not above prosecution for crimes against the American People.
numberonepal nails it.
PALIN / WEST
But only if you are screaming for a fight.
Ok, everybody back to your seesaws, the speech is over.
