How Is The Turkey

at the VFW?

I'm sure by now everyone knows about the kerfuffle over the VFW-PAC endorsements.

I had a chance to join the VFW but didn't because they have their meetings on Tuesday nights when I work.

I'm glad that I didn't because I would just have to un-join now.

UPDATE: Looks like the rank-and-file made their objections clear. HT to Patrick.

I've considered joining several times, but haven't. The VFW shot themselves in the foot when they initially wouldn't allow Vietnam vets to join.
Now they support Col. Allen West's opponent - say it ain't so.

They need to clean up their act, or the organization will simply collapse for lack of membership.

They have been catching a lot of heat from their membership, and now it looks as if they are disbanding the PAC.

Thanks for dropping by Mike!

If they publicize this as they should (or at least try to with the media the way it is) Pelosi and Reid are left with egg on their faces. They'll either try to bury it as deep as possible or launch a full-scale counter-attack demonizing the VFW. I don't know which to expect.

Going by the normal MO on those two, I'd expect demonization.
Good to have you back Annie!
