Congressional candidate Lieutenant Colonel Allen WEST

I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!
Sure wish we had firebrand Patriots like him running up here in Maine!
I've long maintained, just like he does, that my induction oath taken in 1967 to "...support and defend the Constitution..." etc. had no expiration date concurrent with my ETS, nor have I ever renounced it, nor do I ever intend to.
One of the comments on the Las Vegas site was kinda cute;
"Since West opposes Obama, he must be a RACIST!" :-\ Hmmmmm..... Go figure! ...

Now THIS is the kind of Candidate that the Republican Party needs to QUIT marginalizing and THROWING UNDER THE BUS and start promoting for a change!!!
Mr STEELE: This is the FUTURE of your Party; please get a clue or your party - and our Country - may not have much of a future!
I'm not in a position right now to donate much money to a Candidate, but I might have to make an exception for WEST. (Unlike the solicitations I get from the National GOP which get summarily thrown away or returned with a "Nada Peso" note.)

Just rec'd this back from a Friend and fellow Veteran who has been a Conservative political activist and champion of 2nd A. gun rights in MD for many years and has some interesting insight as to the party Chairman, which explains a lot.
I didn't know that Steele was Lt. Gov. of MD - did you?
>" Hey Jaque, appealing to Steele is hopeless.
Before the election of the Erlich and Steele administration here in Maryland they were Gung Ho pro gun and gladly accepted our help.
After the election we were pushed off so briskly that before six months were up we knew we were had. We also then predicted they would be a one term Governor and Lieutenant Governor which they were.
During Erlich Steele administration more shooting ranges were closed then during several previous Democratic regimes.
Both of them were specialists at undermining their voting base.
Don't expect much from the R. N. C. with an @$$#0!3 like Steele involved."
This intel only confirms my suspicions that if "Tea-Party" Conservatives ever want to restore the GOP to it's original principles and make it politically viable again, then STEELE, along with no doubt a goodly number of his "moderate" (liberal) sycophant executive elite at National HQ, HAS TO GO!!!

Right. And the real question is, will the national GOP, Steele, et al, support Tea Party candidates *or* their chosen RINO brethren and sistren (sic).
If not, then we’re going to have a good ol’ fashioned political street brawl on our hands and we’ll be looking for, as ConservativeGreatGrandma advocates, anyone opposed the socialist policies.
Sorry GOP - it aint good nuff to *just* have the R by your name, as long as you’re wink, winkin’ at us. (We might just be looking for a “T” or an “I” (NY 23, et al) in some local cases!)
We’re going to watch you closely, and hold you closely, not because we perceive you as our friends, but really because we don’t, and we hold our friends close and our enemies (or practical enemies) closer.
Deal with that!
