Allen West Tells Reporter ‘I Don’t Want Your Endorsement’

You gotta love Allen West. He shoots straight from the hip and tells a reporter from a particular paper that endorses his opposition and tells him he doesn’t want their endorsement. In fact, he tells them to keep endorsing the guys that lose.

This is the entire article. He also has a video.

We need his message and demeanor in the national spotlight. He is intelligent, smooth, articulate, an accomplished military person, and a human being that knows right from wrong and will not pander to the useless and destructive elements of our economy. I have supported him financially even though I live in another state and politically. He is needed in politics today.

What a pathetic anachronism newspaper endorsements are.

BOOM! Another Allen West homerun!

Mr. Col. West = Leader.

God Bless him. I'm so proud to have him protecting me and my family.

On being asked about Debbie Whatshername Schlitz “gunning for him...” He said, “Look, I've been on a real battlefield where people were actually shooting at me.....accounts like guys, or gals, ‘gunning’ for me doesn't bother me “......end of interview because the liberal dog media interviewing him could just not get a derogatory sound bite from him....

Concur, with exception of pointing out that he’s *brilliant*! The way he cuts down his opposition with concrete facts gives me a thrill up my cerebrum.

Thanks for the reminder that we haven’t sent this patriot a campaign donation yet. Mitt Romney has millions to spend, but we need to finance good candidates like Col. West, who need our help.

I’m just wondering when some “purist” is going to chime in on what a RINO West is.

This seems to be a pattern here on FR, and it is getting old, very old.

I hope I’m around to see him as POTUS, Hoorah.

He talks the talk and walks the walk...

If someone were to post a link on which I can give this gentleman a campaign contribution, I would surely do it.

I love his retort to the journalist. Here in Louisville, if I don’t have time to research the local races, I read the Courier-Journal and vote for the opponent of whoever they endorse.

Warning about the link. It takes you to one of those websites that won’t let you hit the back button to leave the page.

Maybe because it opens in a new window and there is nowhere to “go back” to. Just close the window.

I continue to nurse my hope that I might one day be able to vote for this man for president. However, considering what the GOP has become, I doubt they would allow him to get anywhere near the office.

I did not have any problem with it!!

This is not Professor Cornel West we’re talking about. Bring your knowledge up to date please and read what Colonel West is saying. Your way off base here man.

Live in Fla.

Our local paper ran a story about how he called out the reporters in attendance to point out the “racism” of the Democratic party.

Right in their face, not afraid to tackle the realities of life.

Voted for him in the primary, and will again in the general...
