Congressman West's unemployed brother could not be more opposite. He seems a gen

[GOBUCKS]

Most people would move heaven and earth to help a sibling - the first time, and probably the second, but somewhere you have to draw the line.

I wonder if this unemployed brother has perhaps been helped before and betrayed the trust.

If you use your influence to get someone a job, and he turns out to be a drunk, or a thief, or just a typical lazy democrat,
it reflects on your judgement. For self-preservation you have to pull the plug.

Sending someone to Maxine Waters sounds like plug pulling.

A guy worked for me that looked the part of your typical DUmmie doper. He had begun work with me as a second job years ago. He got laid off from his other job and I became his sole employer for a few years. His wife never held a job and he was raising 2 kids. I encouraged him to apply for a job at a new place that was opening in our area. He was reluctant to apply because he didn't meet the requirements, education/etc. that he didn't have. A few minutes before they were supposed to interview him for a job, a lady called and was asking me about him. I told her the truth that he was still going to be working for me during the week and that he had for 25 years worked 2 jobs. She sounded hesitant to hire him but I told her, "Hire him. He will make you a good worker. There's just one thing, he doesn't like to bothered with a bunch of BS. Just tell him what to do and leave him alone."

They hired him and a couple of months later the lady called one night and asked if I knew of any more like him. She wanted to hire anyone I'd recommend. I didn't know any more that were as willing to work as he was. He's been there 15+ years now and has moved up in the company despite his lack of "formal" education.

I've gone out on a limb for someone a couple of times and then they sawed it off behind me....maybe Col, Wests' brother has sawed the limb off a few times while the Col. was on it.
