   Allen West is confused and frightened by television. He can't understand how those tiny people get in that magic box. But there is one thing he DOES know: That he won't publicly debate his opponent because that would be elitist

I learned that honor, integrity and character are the most important qualities any man can possess...

So says the war criminal and serial liar.

On the subject of intelligent discourse, I would also like to address my decision to decline the recent invitation to meet with the Palm Beach Post editorial board. I declined the invitation because I do not answer to self-appointed elitists so blinded by ideology they are incapable of an intellectually honest discussion.

Is there anyone who considers this guy a viable candidate at this point? Because I gotta say, that's the most obvious cop-out I've ever seen.

Spend some time on the conservative blogs. The right-wingers f*cking LOVE Allen West.

Bullies are always the biggest cowards.

And I love this:

The future of this great nation hangs in the balance. The people of South Florida elected me to represent them on Capitol Hill to put in place the right fiscal and regulatory polices to increase jobs and boost the economy.

#1: Your legislative record is anemic. You managed to rename a post office and cut down on copying costs at DoD.

#2: The people who elected you are in the FL 22nd District. So you're bravely representing them by running for the seat in the 18th?

But the right eats that up. They know on one level it's a cop out, but it's calling out the "MSM", which more than makes up for it.

The only way they'd eat it up more is if he went to meet with the editorial board, spent the entire time insulting them and using military jargon, then left after calling them American Hadjis.

I've met Pantano a couple of times. Like a doll's eyes. Oddly, he drives a Prius.
Just like West, not "no," but "hell f*cking no!"

I just called his DC office. I got some young kid on the line and asked him this -- politely, I might add.

Representative West has stated in no uncertain terms that he believes govenment managed healthcare is a form of economic slavery, and that it destroys the self esteem of Americans.

I am calling to ask if the Representative has any intention of forfeiting his Congressional Health Benefits in exchange for personally purchased coverage, as would be consistent with his overall position on the matter, in addition to putting money back into private industry.


Poor kid was dumbfounded.

I also asked if the Congressman had email. I was told that he does not, but I can fax or send posted mail.

I'm pretty sure his court martial board was pretty nuanced when they decided on non-judicial punishment.

Part of the Affordable Healthcare Act dictates that Congress (and staffers) will use the insurance created by the act or by purchasing it through the exchanges it creates, so it was something of a moot point soon

I believe he was allowed to retire if he plead guilty, so presumably he still qualifies for lifetime VA care.

West lives in neither the district he currently represents,nor the one he's running in now. He lives in the town of Plantation, along I-595.

Therefore I always refer to him as "Plantation Republican Allen West".

Nope, no dog whistle in that, no siree, its just where he lives.

I will continue to do what I have done since taking office in January 2011 - which is making myself accessible to the people I have the honor to represent, and hope to represent.

Just don't expect to see me on TV, radio, or in the Lame-stream Media any time soon, because it's so unfair to me.

His district was re-drawn, like a lot of congressional districts were re-drawn around the nation. It has made a lot of current congresspeople to seek election in new districts

I love how blacks and White Guilt Liberals hate on blacks who are GOP. I swear, if you are black, and your head is not permanently attached to Al Shaprton's colon, you are considered "white"

Heck, you guys would probably praise George Zimmerman if he capped Allen West...because West is obviously no gang-banger from Liberty City
