Unless there is some super secret rule preventing CBC members from being critical of other members, West needs to stay and start publicly ridiculing statements by other members. When a member says the Tea Party can go to hell, West can counter that the Tea Party wants a President who get the economy going. By doing that, black unemployment can be reduced. So why would we want people who support employment for blacks to go to hell?

When a member says the Tea Party is the enemy, West can respond that Tea Party members want vouchers for black children so that they can escape failing public schools and get a quality education. Why would an enemy want to educate our children?

And when a member states that Tea Party people want to see blacks hanging from trees, West should respond that there is no evidence that Tea Party people want to behave like the Democrats of the past.

“Never threaten, just do it.”

Agree.

Threatening is really a gesture of weakness...And I really, really like West.

Don’t give notice. Just do it!!!

Catching those folks with their pants down with a surprise announcement “I quit” would be a huge surprise and totally hysterical (for me).

Just do it, West!!!

Cut the yammering.

Don’t threaten-—just do it!!
