Re: Allen West resigns as chair of Texas Republican Party

Oh yeah…. MM is not quite the stable individual that you’d like leading your State Government.

But then, look at where we are Federally.

IIRC, MM had an issue with APD related to a neighbor’s complaint about noise where he was found to be playing the bongos “au natural” in his living room. Maybe a bit of substance use gone on there?

Re: Allen West resigns as chair of Texas Republican Party

I’m going out on a limb here, but LTC West’s time in Congress and subsequent failure to win re-election.

He voted for the Patriot Act, which in some quarters is very unpopular and it was repeatedly said that the Colonel have incorrect or false answers in Town Halls regarding the contents and effect of the bill.

Throw in his stint with the NRA, move to Texas and ascension to the GOP Chair and you could make the car that LTC West has been searching for a venue to allow for a relaunch of his political career.

IMO, I think this is a mistake. Governor Abbott is relatively popular and has been making the right moves to nail down his conservative/right support, even if a bit tardily. I think LTC West was doing fine in the GOP Chair and was aggravating the crap out of many of the RINO’s in the Texas House and Senate. He should have stayed there for longer period and pushed the party further to the Libertarian Right.

Although I’m not a huge Abbott fan, I’ll support him in the primary and then race.
