Rep.Allen West

[woodtoo]

The guy doesn't mince words.

"We need to let President Obama,Harry Reid,Nancy Pelosi,(audience boos)and
my dear friend the chairman of the DNC,we need to let them know that Florida
ain't on the table,"West said."Take your message of quality of achievement,
take your message of economic dependency,take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else.

You can take it to Europe,you can take it to the bottom of the sea,you can
take it to the North Pole,but get the hell out of the United States of America"

Following cheers,West said "Yeah I said hell"

Speaking to a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach.

Moments after the quote was mentioned on Twitter,former Reid spokesman
Jim Manley responded via his own Twitter feed
"Me to allen west,you first asshole"

Jeanine Garafolo is offended.

Jeanine Garafolo is offended.

Not so much with that quote I bet.

[PaceAdvantage]

Not so much with that quote I bet.No, she must be. Any unkind word said to a black politician is offensive to Garafalo...oh wait...unless they don't have the (D) in front of their name...my bad...

Hypocrisy rules again...

Team Romney and the democrats have joined forces in order to sink West.
It seems his district is being radically redrawn to favor Democrats.
West is a threat to the status quo so the empire springs into action to defend itself from outsiders.

So now Romney is out to gerrymander West out his congressional seat. Give me a break. Romney is into a lot of things, but I doubt that redistricting Florida congressional seats is one of them.

If he gets the VP nomination would he still be a threat or would they accept
him into the fold?

[Robert Goren]

I think it is highly unlikely West or any other congressman for that matter is likely to get the GOP VP nod. I look for a Senator if Romney is the nominee, a governor if Newt is.

[bigmack]

I don't know how or why but somehow I feel like there will be a scandal involving Rep. West at some point.

[ArlJim78]

him into the fold?
probably both, but who would put him in the vp slot? not Romney.
maybe Rubio gets the vp slot and West could run for his senate seat.

She pass in front of a mirror again?

She pass in front of a mirror again?

The mirror would be offended in that case.
