Allen West being redistricted out of existence in effort led by Romney Florida spokesman
Legal Insurectiom ^ | January 29, 2012 | William A. Jacobson

The establishment is fighting back, alright.

This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen. As reported by The Shark Tank:

Not if he's a Republican, because most blacks don't think Republican blacks are really black.

If that is so, then "blackness" has nothing to do with either skin color or ancestry.

What does that say?

If, God forbid, romney gets the nomination, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

So, you'll vote for Obama.

Take that RiNO, Mittbot canard and stuff it.

He'll vote for whoever he likes, and it WILL NOT be a vote for Obama unless he actually votes for Obama.

So sick of these RiNO mind games.

“Take your message of equality 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,” Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said at the Palm Beach County Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner. West represents the district in the U.S. Congress.

The article completely fails to make any case to establish that this or any redistricting plan hurts West. It makes the claim and headline, but offers no proof or example of any kind.

OK Einstein,

First of all I ain’t no RINO.

>>it WILL NOT be a vote for Obama unless he actually votes for Obama<<

Of course it is. Although it may not be possible, let me try to explain this to you.

Imagine there are nine voters and two candidates, the non-Obama and Obama.

Four of the voters cast votes for Obama and the rest cast their votes for the non-Obama EXCEPT for you and ph12321.

So that’s four votes for Obama and three for the other guy.

Obama Wins! Good job! Just what Obama and the RINOs have in mind.

How do I know? It happens all the time.

Using this brilliant strategy, who else did you vote for, Carter? Clinton? Obama in the last election?

“Sarah Palin was fought by romney’s people”

Here is the 800lb elephant in the room. They are LDS and Palin is Evangelical Christian...one of those “gracers” that LDS’ers label evangelicals with!

Romney is the LDS foot into the door of real power in America. While he may be cynical in his own personal beliefs, he has a willing host of volunteers that fanatically believe in their cause and will spin any tale and twist any truth, if it advances the LDS. Reid of the senate is Democrat but he is Mormon and therefore a natural enemy of Protestant evangelicals. Democrat progressives and Mormons both have an interest in diluting conservative Judeo Christianity’s influence in America and both have triumphalist goals!

WHEN has the GOP fought ANY Democrat as hard as they are now fighting conservatives?

Well, they don't have any choice, now, because Conservatives are fighting back.

Before the TEA party movement, Conservatives, tried to get candidates and influence policy, got lots of promises from the establishment 'pubbies, and got tossed under the bus before the last ballot went in the box.

Now? We've had a bellyfull of that crap, so they have to fight us to keep control of the Party.

Well, I will never vote for Romney either. You can think whatever you want, and go pound sand.

I don’t get McCain supporting Romney. Everything I have read or heard, indicate that McCain loathed Romney. Not that McCain’s support means squat to me...I just don’t get the endorsement.

They gave Ronnie and AuH2O a hard time too!

I'd say this dates back to A Jackson days. We were bought and sold during WW Woodrow Wilsons term.

Well, I like to think based on fact. Here's a fact for you: You appear to be a snotty NOOB dirtbag.

Here they have a place for jerks like you, it's called anywhere else. And that can be arranged.

Obama thanks you.

Re you #16:

“Redistricting a black candidate out of office will present it’s own set of problems.”

Don’t count on it.

West has forfeited his racial status by being conservative.
Affirmative action privilege no longer applies when one strays from the Collectivist “Progressive” Plantation.

Just ask Justice Clarance Thomas, Amb. Allan Keyes or former Candidate Herman Cain how that works.

No doubt Lt.Col. West is well aware of the rule, and is not the least bit surprised by this development.

If it is any consolation, our conservative Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage was formerly the Mayor of Waterville, Maine, a predominantly Democrat city. When he ran for Governor, about 700 registered Democrats wrote him in, despite their votes being disqualified by doing so.

There seems to be at least some traditional Democrats out there who are waking up and getting a clue or two, and not all of them are exactly ecstatic about their current regime or the direction our Country is being steered in by the Kenyan Mullah.

I’m not suggesting that this is going to make West’s situation easy, but it might not be quite as insurmountable as it appears.

The FL Legislature is making this out to be a random function of the law and there wasn’t anything they could do about it, although I agree that it certainly stinks of establishment party manipulation.

I have long maintained that the GOP establishment would much rather see Obama re elected and our Country go down the flush than to allow a conservative to ever again darken the White House door.

If they can’t get “their” party back from the annoying Tea Party interlopers, then they WILL DESTROY it - and the Republic along with it, if need be. Control it or burn it.

Think I’m wrong?

Fine...

...Just watch.

The establishment thanks you.

I don’t know where you get the idea I’m a RINO, nobody has ever made that mistake before.

I suppose you think Paul LePage is a RINO as well.

So, last presidential election, you voted Republican?

Romney will not get my vote. I won’t vote for obama either, so if it’s black obama vs. white obama, I can’t vote for either of them. If you have fallen for the romney lies, then good luck to you. If those are my only two choices, then someone else’s name will get written in.
