Politico Says Florida's Allen West Will Become the Alan Grayson of the Right?
Publius Forum ^ | 11/11/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/11/2010 8:03:26 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

Lt. Col. Allen West is one of the most stand up guys you'll ever meet. He first came to the public eye when his interrogation of an Iraqi yielded lifesaving results even as it was a bit unorthodox. His professional handling of that incident put him on a track to run for Florida's 22nd District House seat, a race he won handily despite the left's unhinged attacks upon him.

West ran a clean campaign in Florida's 22nd. He avoided over-the-top attacks on his opponent and did not indulge fits of name-calling. This is not to say that he soft-pedaled his opinions on just how wrong the Democrats were as he sought to delineate the policy differences between himself and the left he was battling. But West did campaign with a serious tone and an even-tempered demeanor. He was not an arm waver, he did not indulge flights of fantastic conspiracies, nor did he employ vile attack ads in his race. Pointed rhetoric? Yes. Obscene, wild-eyed, foaming at the mouth attacks? Not at all.

With that said, why does Politico seem to think that Allen West is on track to become the right's version of the despicable Alan Grayson, also a Floridian?

Following are several videos to show the difference between the two men to prove that West is an adult and Grayson is a mental case...

Politico just cannot handle Col. West becoming a member of the Congressional Black Caucus... LoL..

That caucus will hear the first intelligent words coming out of anyones MOUTH..
Be like Ann Coulter attending the Possum Lodge of Red Green..

"They are men.. But they can change.. If they have to... they guess.."

"If democrats don't find you handsome, they should at least find you Rinos."

“The left is gearing up to destroy Allen West.”

Hi Friend,
You mean they are gearing up to TRY to destroy Allen West!
They won’t succeed, and they realize they are seeing a true Conservative who most likely will be a future President of our country!

What fun it is to see the LIBS so frightened!

Doubtful. He’s not a sh1tbag lawyer, for one. Two, I don’t think anyone can be both as stupid and wicked as Grayson. And have the MSM celebrate him as much as they possibly could.

“Great article, thanks.
Alan West is an exceptional man.
He spoke at the Free Republic Convention back on Sept 12, 2009.”

Hi Friend,
Yes, Allen spoke at our convention and wowed us all! It was on the convention weekend that hubby and I got to first meet Allen in person. We were supporters in his 08 run for Congress and it was such an honor to meet him! Like I said, when Allen won Nov.2nd, America won!

Not true. Representative has a number of thing that Grayson did not. Among them are intelligence, decency, and good character.

The liberals have won the first battle against Allen West since the election kicked them down. They’ve chased Joyce Kaufman off his staff. Breaking today...and the liberal media pukes in South Florida are enabling him.

The south Florida media worships Hussein.

Agreed. Allan West is a brave, intelligent, patriotic American and bears no resemblance whatsoever to Maddog Grayson.

The left is nutz. But very destructive.

Yes, Joyce will not be Allen's Chief of Staff but will be a supporter from afar like many of us. Since the LIBs will hash over and over every “non-politicaly correct” statement Joyce ever made, it would be their way to attempt to destroy Allen. Joyce would not let that happen.

January 3rd will be a wonderful day when all the new Conservative members of Congress will be sworn in. I will be watching on TV, for sure!

The local Fox affiliate since reported that the threat-maker had said he was inspired by none other than Joyce Kaufman, who had received publicity in the last few days for her previous calls for violent action against the government in order to protect citizens from the tyranny of the Obama administration.

TPM is obviously run by leftist kooks. Obvious from the remarks on the comments section...it draws a readership that is left of Lenin. The fact that Joyce and her station contacted the police AND that the deranged lunatic making the threat did so in connection with a RACHEL MADDOW PROGRAM shows it was not a "right winger" who was pretending like he/she/it was going to shoot kids.

Allen West is the most stand-up honorable man I know.

Period.

And that’s what scares the living S##T out of the lefty libs.
