I have read that Carson’s a “moderate” on the Second Amendment. In my book, you either support the Second Amendment or you don’t. That right there is non-negotiable.

Allen West voted for the Pigford reparations scam-he explains it as not having done his “due diligence” on the matter before voting. I consider not doing one’s due diligence before voting to pass out billions of taxpayer dollars to people who never even grew a tomato in a pot, as “farmers”, just because they’re black, a serious lack of judgement, at the least. That’s like Pelosi saying they had to pass CommieCare to see what’s in it.

When will the right really internalise the message of principle and just stop playing the left’s game of “tag” according to “diversity”?

I would agree with everything you said and specifically concur with respect to a serious lapse by Colonel West if it occurred as described.

[kingattax]

youre correct. identity politics for conservatives is not the winning formula.

[9YearLurker]

Agreed. Pigford—and West’s support of it—didn’t pass the smell test.

[punknpuss]

Agreed. I won’t vote for someone who is moderate on 2A. That’s a deal breaker for me.
